Creativity Slump

I just haven't had any sign of creativity lately...it seems to have flown my coop...

Work has been crazy, but I think it may finally settle down...I took a couple of personal days this week to rest and recharge...so far I'm feeling better...more centered, so hopefully, the creative juices will start flowing again... for now here's another oldy...another throwback Thursday...

Paper Quilt

Throwback Thursday...sorry I haven't posted anything in a while...work has been exhausting...hopefully things will slow down in another week and I can get back to creating...this piece was done several years ago...it was done with wrapping paper...

I did a few other ones too...I did one for my daughter using the wrapping paper from wedding gifts and one for my mom using wrapping paper from gifts from their 50th wedding anniversary...fairly easy and fun to do...

I'm having trouble being inspired...did a couple of quick sketches...not sure what I'll do with them yet...just needed to put pencil to paper...

Veggie Doodles

Since it's fall and also harvest season I htought I should try my hand at drawing some vegetables...

My favorite is the corn...the leaves actually started with a mistake in the coloring and by the time I was finished trying to correct my mistake...I fell in love with how the colors turned out...

Thursday Throwback-Portrait

One of my first attempts at portraits...

19 years ago...I'm not sure who the boy was...

Autumn Splendor

Happy First day of fall!

This one was fun to do...watercolor markers and then added details with watercolor pencils...

A Little Birdie

Something different...I played around with Fimo clay and made this little birdie...

then I used Terry's letter punches and put on the word "Joy"

After baking it I really didn't care for the off white color so I painted it then darkened in the letters...

added some turquoise birds and chips to wire and put it all together on a short silk necklace...
