A Creative Space

I was having a very dull evening. My room was a mess; I was stressing about my master thesis; which I should have been working on. Then I saw SuziBlu's video on youtube (the video on making a creative space).

I found an old table in the attics; and some unusable "space" in my room beetween my wardrobe and my tv (a space that is never used for nothing). Then I moved all my "artsy stuff" there; it turned out just PERRRFECT :D


The picture below is my desk before; always messy, full of painting, journals, paper scraps and stuff. With no place for studying (where would I put my books in all this mess?).

I have a cold

Am staying home for a few days; just to get better. I enjoy the long, lazy morning hours.
Yesterday I started knitting a pair of baby socks..



and I finished what was supposed to be socks or "leggings". (see pic below)
I'm a very impatient girl. I couldn't stand the thought of knitting another sock, it was going so slowly(I think I started this knitting-project at New Years Eve 2008).

So I changed my plans, and I don't regret it for a second. This is what I wanted; this is exactly what I needed right now...:D
Look at my new cap!!

Been playing with my Art Journal again

It looks like this page could need some writing...


This last two pictures are postcards I made. funfun!

For my evening tea

I picked some leaves from my Mom's Stevia plant; dried them in the oven for some hours





et voila!!



Can't wait to crush those very dry leafs and sprinkle them in my tea instead of sugar

Stevia

I'll just throw in some more pic's

Above:
This is just another girl I drew. (I used watercolor pencils for the face; gel medium and acrylic paint for the dress). Cute, isn't she?

Below:
Some more girls (The butterflies were made with my new stencil and pigment ink)
Here are some backgrounds I made in my Art Journal. I just love the acrylics I bought yesterday. I couldn't buy more than 3 colors (Pale Violet, Powder Blue and Silver). The silver one is perfect for layering, the other two colors are not that easy to see through, unless you use much much water.

and this last pic is a doodle I made at work at Norstat, which is a call center. That job is a bit boring. I normally read, but it is a bit hard to do that while calling people; so I brought one of my journals this time..
