The last and the new ...

Hello,
as promised I'm back with the last part of Printemps and the first of the Celtic Magic kit ...so you're getting a whopping 3 files to download today .:)
Edna to answer your comment , the Illustrator dream is very much for when I retire from my "normal" job. Currently I just wouldn't find the time for it. But I'm using this time to learn more. Practice makes perfect,huh?
I will be signing up to Skillshare next month. For a monthly or yearly fee you become a member and can take as many online classes as you want . Check out what classes they have to offer here https://www.skillshare.com
And yes, there is an Illustrator class there as well , apart from lots of different art , design and photography classes. But also business , freelance , marketing , music ....hell, the choice is just endless !

I had a couple of highlights this week. First I got featured for taking part in the watercolor challenge ...

...and then I got contacted by the Art /Craft /Book store where I buy a lot of my stuff to work with , asking whether they could share the picture of the pencil case I made with one of their kits.:)

I wouldn't mind becoming an Affiliate , working with and showcasing their art and craft kits ,lol.

I'm still trying to catch up on some challenges. But I have the first 3 days of the Sure Simple challenge done.

Day 1 :Watercolor (Ecoline) and lettering (Pentel touch sign pen in black)

Day 2: Fine Tec watercolor

Day 3 in doodle style with Tombow dual brush pens

And as quite often while out and about these lovely blossoms caught my eye and camera :)
I just couldn't walk past without taking a picture or two ...

Even though it's still very cool for the time of year, these sure are a sign of spring .

OK, downloads now...

And another two for you :)

Hi everybody,
I fell asleep at 7 pm last night after working some overtime. 2 am I woke up wide awake and my cat thought it was breakfast time when I came down the stairs to go to the toilette,lol. Luckily I was able to go back to sleep an hour later. And when I got up a short while ago , Sam wanted second breakfast :)
In his eyes this was great and I could do that kind of thing every day ...you wish, you little fur ball ! :)

Obviously with working overtime and falling asleep there wasn't much time to be creative on any large projects this week. But I did a little more work with those fabulous Fine Tec colors on black paper.

There is just something magic about letting colors run into each other and see how it turns out....

And when you get new inks , like this Ecoline Watercolor ink then you need to try out all those fantastic new colors :)

I ordered the pastel colors this month to try out, and I'm so in love with them I will oder the bright colors next payday :)
The great thing about these is that you can use a brush , like I did here....or an old fashioned quill and nip , dip pen, calligraphy pen to draw or write with them. Very versatile :)

The weather hasn't been exactly great here for gardening , but I still got some things planted.

 Tomato plants , cabbage etc ...and the beans and potato plants are doing very well .

Yeah , it's only pots and grow bags, but I'm definitely making the most out of the little space I have behind the house :)
There's a lot more to do, but the weather needs to improve before I can plant out the other babies which are waiting in my kitchen.

But now to the links.

If you are looking for more detailed previews , they are in the post with the first two links.
But here are parts 5 and 6 now

There will be one more next week ...and the start of another freebie kit.This kit will be in 5 small separate kits. It's the Celtic Magic collection. As it will be Beltane on the 1st of May (which is an ancient Fire Festival ), I will give you the "Fire " part first.

Followed by the other Elements Water, Earth ,Air and Spirit ...so till then ...
Stay creative :)

Two more parts of Printemps

Good morning "yawn" ...
Yeah, I just came home from nightshift and have not been to bed yet. But I will after this post. Knowing myself later on I will be lazy, because it always takes a full day and night to recover from working nights.

I treated myself to some Ecoline liquid watercolor and had to try them out. The great thing is you can also use them as ink for a dip pen.

And I did some more watercolor practice...

An owlet on canvas ...isn't he a cutie?

And after 3 years I finally finished a kit that was sat on my drive all this time.
I started it when I was with Reggie in North Carolina. After he passed away it was just too painful at first to carry on working on it, but better late than never ...I finally got it done :)

Anyway, enough of that. Let me just give you those new parts now and then I'm off to dream land :)

Here's two more parts
