During this holiday season I have retreated into my craft room for an hour or 2 each day to do some colouring. The colouring planner my daughter gave to me for Christmas has been very useful and has helped me prioritise different projects I am keen to do. Ofcourse, the planner has a colouring page for each week so I have tried to include that on my list too. Each colouring page is from one of the illustrator's various books which is rather nice as she has quite a few that I haven't yet got. So, this is the first page completed.
It was a bit hot and sticky that day so I didn't do as much as I would have liked to. My glasses kept sliding down my nose and my hands were clammy. Anyhoo, I digress. Yesterday I decided to try out some inexpensive waterbrush markers and glitter gel pens from Kmart . So, I selected a page from the colouring publication that I did the greyscale one from. I finished it today and was very pleased with the results . The markers and pens were quite good which surprised me because other art supplies from that brand have not been so good. I also used a white pigment ink pen.
Unfortunately, the gel pens had not dried as quickly as I thought and I managed to create some smudges on the background. Not happy Jan! Ah well, I might just try covering it with some white pen .
I have finished reading my first book for the year which is the middle book of a series I already read last year. Sue found it for me .
Late yesterday afternoon I decided to do the mini puzzle which was another Christmas gift from my daughter. It was actually a bit tricky but that may have been because I was under the influence of pain medication at the time lol. Gotta love it, it is called The Scream. I love how it is a cat interpretation of the famous painting. Made me laugh.
I think I achieved a lot despite a fibro flare up and chronic pain. Some days were good which is an improvement. Better some than none.
I hope you have enjoyed a productive crafty time too.
You have been busy Ondrea, some lovely pages there. I especially like the design of the first one. That jigsaw is brilliant! xx
