Creative Challenge day 4

For my 4th day during this Creative Challenge, I decided to do an Art Journal page about it.

The text reads:
'A few days ago I started something called The 21 Day Creative Challenge. I had read about it on a few different blogs. The idea is that it takes 21 days to create a new habit. And because I find myself thinking and dreaming and planning and not much time actually creating even though I like myself much better when I get my bum in the chair and paint or draw or write. So now, for 21 days straight, I will sketch, doodle, write, paint, crochet, (art) journal, photograph... Anything creative counts. This is day 4 of 21 days. I can do it.'

And hey, who says fish can't have a nose and hair?

Creative Challenge day 3

Did not have much time to do anything today, but in the evening I managed to do a few sketches. Tye's niece (8) and nephew (11) were here, and they were really impressed. Even when I was not so happy with my work, the shape of the polar bear's head bugs me, the body of the lion cub is too long, the lamb has a weird neck, they told me that it was 'really good'.

Niece even took it a step further. 'You are the bestest artist. You should be on the telly doing art.'

Ahhh.... Out of the mouths of babes, right?
