One step closer to growing up...

So the news has been announced to my parents. I will be moving out soon.

Of course how soon has yet to be defined (probably somewhere after December?), and I won't just be moving out. No. I'll actually be moving to the United Kingdom, to go live with my boyfriend (who lives there already).

But of course I need to save up some money first so we can find a place to live in. It's a bit hard to do when you have no job and finding a job for two or three months is almost impossible I think. So I'm trying to sell cards and jewellery, so far without much success haha.

If you're interested in any of my stuff and want to help me out, you can have a look at my Etsy Store. Or commission me for a drawing or something. Anything! =)

I made a cute brooch a while ago, which I recently put on Etsy. It's based on my 'Whistle' drawing (which you can also see in my blog banner). I simply wanted to try out my clay to see what I could do with it. If I get more inspiration, I might try making more stuff like this.

Music note brooch.

Also when I was in Spain, I didn't just make those four Christmas cards I posted about in my previous post. I also made a drawing, something a bit different. I had taken a list with me with a lot of random words on there, to hopefully give me some inspiration. Bottled is one of the words that was on the list and a word that stood out to me, so I started sketching.

The word “bottled” brought up the “message in a bottle” image for me. But I didn't want to have a typical letter in a bottle, so I changed it around a bit to have an actual person in there. Maybe a bit weird, but to me it fits. It's something that I imagine would go well with a poem. =)

A message of love and kindness, bottled away for when you need it most.

'Bottled Love'

Drawn with inks and white ecoline ink on brown paper, then I touched it up in Photoshop. I decided to sort of leave the creases in the paper (from the water/ink) because I think it adds to the image. =)

Busy busy busy

Sooo it's been sort of busy times for me. I've been learning how to drive (still learning, I'm not very good at this at all!) and I had some eye surgery last week from which I'm still recovering (blood red eyes, whoo!).

In the meantime however, I've also been keeping busy with some art. Well, just two simple drawings/paintings for now, but it's a start. Hoping it will lead to more art soon! =)

This drawing was inspired by a song called "Tiger, My Friend" by Psapp. A lovely song, so be sure to check it out! Did this one with pencil on recycled paper, then coloured it in with some coloured ink and ecoline paint.


Tiger, My Friend

And then this is simply a random painting of a girl, her cat and a book. Very simple, but I wanted to try out my acrylics again. Only to find I only have about 5 colours left or something. Time to invest in more!

Peaceful Reading

Apart from this though, I've also been busy making earrings, as was already obvious from my previous post. I'm still learning how to make things properly, but at the moment I've assembled a small collection of simple earrings. Some are a bit nicer than others, but yeah. Hopefully I'll get better with time. =)
As before, these will go on sale on Etsy. If you're interested in any, just let me know!

Turquoise Teardrop earring

Turquoise Raindrops earring

Grape Wire wrapped Pearl Teardrop earring


Sorry for the earring spam haha. Just been happy to be making things again. It's been a nice change from the art and the constant artist's block. I'm never stopping with drawing though, unless I was physically unable to or something.

Hope to be posting again soon! =)

Hello!

Welcome to my blog!

If you're wondering what I will post on here, I have to admit that I don't really know yet myself. =P

But I'm thinking I will most likely use this blog to post my art and work progress, sketches I make, ramblings about art and school and all that fun stuff! So if you're interested in my art (or in me haha), keep checking this blog.
I have no idea how often it will be updated, but I'll do my best to keep things interesting. =)


To start things off, here's a snapshot of my current workdesk, where I'm busy cutting out a lino for an illustration. The flowery glove is there so I don't cut my fingers haha.
