Sketchbook Revival

This year I participated in Sketchbook Revival that lasted 14 days. Karen Adend was the host and she would introduce two instructors everyday to encourage your creative practice. One thing I learned, everyone has a different practice and it is all wonderful.

I was inspired by Laly Mille from France, on her process of creating. So, yesterday, I dived in. I was at a group art event, lots of talking and chatting and laughing, not precious about my layout or over thinking anything....this is what transpired....it's not complete however I am very happy with the results so far.



Laly Mille, picks out words that "speak" to her to begin her "story". It's not visible in this photo but the words, Still powerful, a notion of, romantic, young, sisters, quiet girls, is frightening were the words that stood out for me. And the number 4. This is truly amazing as my older, estranged sister contacted me after many years. There are four girls in my family. The two butterflies represent the "mature" adults of her and myself. Unbelievable! A lot for me to process, but it's a wonderful beginning.

Until next time....happy creating
