There were a few things I did today; Sleep, drink water, sleep more, eat dinner, make things, and watch a little TV with my sweetie. I would have easily filled it with working on the house as I had planned to do, but it was not in the cards.
I woke up and found out the theme of the month for Creative Every Day has changed to "Black and White". Color has been so welcome for the first two months, just thinking of black and white was less than inspiring. But, as I put the black on paper, I found out the piece sort of explains the day.Within the piece are some lettering examples that include, "annoying", "headache", "sleep", and "rest". I know the next days of the month will be better and look forward to some more detailed pieces using ink pen and other black elements. Today was just not one of the days for that.
I made it.
Another challenge, The Sketchbook Challenge, has changed their theme to "natural surfaces". It will be interesting to combine these two topics and make some detailed black and white images.
The first day of the Beading Challenge was "Earrings". There is not a lot of skill involved with making earrings, but choosing the elements is the hardest part. I wanted something simple with a little flash and decided on the blue glass beads along with the silvery floral beads. The earring wires are "swan" wires I found in Minnesota last summer at the Bead Monkey in St. Paul. It will be interesting to find out how they wear because they seem like short backs. Experience is the best teacher!
The weekend holds some garage sales and more creative activities. I just hope I can keep enough water in me to stave off the headache. Looking forward to some really beautiful days.
