A sketch and a fairy

I made a little fairy to keep in a pocket in my new moleskin. Hope she'll bring me good luck. The colours are stronger in real life. I'm just really crappy at taking pictures. Maybe one day I'll learn how to really work a camera.

I kind of like how this lady turned out despite her failed boob job. I don't think I will be doing anything more with this picture though. I'll just leave it as it is. Again, please excuse my crappy camera skills.

While we wait for art journal pages

Here are a couple of older pictures of mine. The first is a selfpotrait of sorts in mixed media and the other is a quick sketch done with the wacom tablet. Both done in November 2007 I belive.

Art on its way

I got one page in my Life Book (another name for my art journal. Suziblus idea. :)) mostly finished today and two more are well on their way. I will try to post pics tomorrow. I seem to want to do nothing but art these days. Its like my mind is in creative overdrive. I can't stop thinking about drawing and painting and what to do next. It's quite frustrating really cause I never seem to be able to finish one project before I start the next. There is just so much I want to get down on paper and it's like I'm afraid I'll forget all the ideas I have so I need to do them right away. But it's fun also. I haven't been this crafty in years. I credit a lot of this new inspiration to Suziblu. It was her videos that got me started again. Thank you ever so much Suzi!

Art journalling

This blogg will be my art blogg. Paintings, art journal pages, drawings and more will be posted here. For ramblings about my life in general, go to thelittlewitch.insanejournal.com .

I am really into art journalling lately. It's so much fun and a great way to get over my artistic block.  I couldn't seem to get anything down on paper for a while. Also, with art journalling, I find that I try much more new things, new medias and new techniques. I play around with colour alot more then I used to. Before I seemed to almost be afraid of anything that wasn't just plain black and white. Now I've invested in lots of acrylic paint and colourful paper stacks to tear up and glue all  
over my journal.  Today I also bought a beautiful set of 24 oil pastels. Really good quality pastels 
that are easy to smudge as much as I want. :) 

I'm hoping to have my first art posts up sometimes during this week.  I'm working on a couple of art journal pages that should be finished by the weekend. If I don't get to distracted by my new oil pastels that is. ^^
