WOYWW 188

Today, or more precisely tonight, I am getting a jump start on the weekly What's on Your Work Desk photo sharing that the ever so nice Julia Dunnit hosts on her blog, Stamping Ground. Each week we post a picture of our work spaces and then are invited to go see what others are doing. One week I found a great jeweler and managed to score a cool, and reasonably priced pair of earrings from her Esty shop. You just never know what you will find.


This week I  started Lifebook 2013, a year long journey through art taught by Tam (can't seem to locate her last name on her blog) and a number of other folks. I've taken classes from a couple of the teachers and enjoyed those and even though I've only watched one video from Tam, I'm thinking I'm really going to like it. 

Our first warm-up was drawing a whimsical Fairy Art Mother. Because all of this is new to me, I practiced a couple of times with my new water soluble crayons in my small art journal. OH MY. They are just TONS of fun. I can tell I want more colors already. 

Since this is OUR Fairy Art Mother, she says nice things to us like
 and
And although I can't draw yet, I sure do like color, so I used just about every one of them to draw her...
It's going to be a good year!!

    Happy WOYWW. I am jealous. I so want to join in with Lifebook 2013, but I am being sensible and realising that I have far too much to do anyway. Next year! Love your drawing/colouring. Keep us updated, so I can see what I am missing! Ali x #40

    What a great undertaking, am sure you will really enjoy it. Tam's famous on the net, but I can't tell you her full name either! Enjoyed your discovering how great the water colour crayons are..I totally get that, in fact, I have that same reaction almost each time I use them! Am also loving that your Fairy Mama is reminding you take your time and find your own pace..how wise.

    Love online art classes. I recently did a canvas that said the exact quote - "You are exactly where you are supposed to be".

    Enjoy your journey!!

    I'm not sure about you not being able to draw as I think your arty farty fairy is brilliant and love the colours and the fact that she is such a positive influence. Annette #37

    Have a great time with the Lifebook. I think going back over it once you're done you'll rediscover things about yourself and growth over that time.
