Illustrations for The Sketchbook Project

Been doing these cute animal illustrations for The Sketchbook Project all day today.
11 more to finish :)

oil pastels

Today was a very very hot day! Been drinking a lot of tea with a lot of ice all day!
While the weather was like this outside I got to experiment with oil pastels, it has been so long since I used them. Here are some of the illustrations and quotes I did in my sketchbook.

Animal sketching

Had an awful night with stomach ache and couldn't sleep until today at 12 in the afternoon today, meds just did not kick in until then. Been very stressed because they just told me that my house is not going to be ready until May, I was hoping it would not take that much time for them to finish but I guess they are. And of course my stomach takes the consequences of worrying too much.

So I had a very slow day today but managed to do some animal sketches for the Sketchbook Project.

Hopefully will finish sketching everything today so I can start painting them tomorrow.

The first photo is Bastian and I trying to relax by watching Totoro while some iced tea and a piece of cheesecake waited for me :) after all it is a really nice day doing what I love.

My Monday

First of all want to tell you about the Meatless Monday movement which I just started doing, basically is just not eating meat just one day a week and with this you make a lot of difference to your health and the world. 

This was my first week but I am sure I will do it from now on and make it 

part of my weekly routine. If you want more information about this go here:

I am super excited to have received this in the mail today! I will start doing it tomorrow and hopefully sending it as soon as I can. If you want to participate by doing this fun project go to this website http://www.sketchbookproject.com/projects/sketchbookproject

and register for a sketchbook. I love projects like this! 

Collages

I have a new very small, black cover, bound sketchbook and I am having a lot of fun doing collages with my painted papers. Here are some that I have finished :)

Have a great weekend!

Goodbye sketchbook

I am just doing the last page of the most important sketchbook I have done. I had expressed so many things there since I just started it almost two years ago when I left to a very nice vacation that has not ended.

I am so glad I had my sketchbook to express everything I had inside those sad moments that turned into the best thing that could of happened in my life and of course revealing all of the good things I have today.

I never thought that my life would turn 180 degrees in such a few days, since then I have lived the most amazing things!

Just when the caterpillar thought her life was over she turned into a butterfly.

 I just love happy endings :)
