Wow it has been nearly 6 months since I last
posted! Time does fly. My art mojo took a holiday. At times I was convinced I would never create
a picture again. But a miracle happened
the weekend. I started to draw again. I
woke up in the middle of the night, with heaps of inspiration. I was twitching to start, in the end I got up
at 4:30 and got my pencils out of the dark depths of my art cupboard and started…..
At this stage I only feel like drawing, I have decided
to do a journal of the whimsical world of a young girl, completely random, just
whatever takes her fancy, be it nature or other people. I have no idea where it is going to take me,
but the journey will be interesting.
What do I have to thank for this inspiration? While I have not been up to painting I have
been creative. Mostly, crochet. Beautiful glorious colour!
I have been doing a Crochet along with Dedri Uys of Look
what I made fame. It is called Sophie’s
Universe and is an amazing piece of design.
I got way behind as for while there I lost my crochet mojo too. But I am still plugging away at it.
It is already a metre wide, and I am only half way
through. But it makes me smile every
time I see it, had to use it in my new header.
I have decided to streamline and have my blogging
under one roof. So my arty friends, I
will post arty stuff on Friday and Sunday, and my crafty friends I will post on
week days.
I am going to try and post the saga of Sophie every
weekend, so tune then to see her first Adventure.
A bit of crochet eye candy!
As you see creativity will always find a way to manifest!
Thanks for visiting and see you soon.

Hello Sharon, it's great to see you back in Blogland, sometimes it is good to have a break.
ReplyDeleteI love your crochet and am looking forward to seeing more. Love the bird and your large piece - it is so complex and dramatic.
And I'm looking forward to reading tales of Sophie, she looks very sweet and innocent.
I'm so happy that your mojo has returned. I've had mine go on holiday and it's a little scary thinking it might not come back. I bet you're thrilled.
ReplyDeleteYour crochet work has me in a daze because I can't put two stitches together.
And as for your drawings... they are delightful Sharon.
