keeping the creative train rolling

I did a very exciting (for me) thing.

I have enrolled in a Lilla Rogers, Make Art That Sells class. I have been following her on instagram for quite some time and never had the courage to actually book in for one. There were always too many reasons not to.

But here I am, doing Assignment Bootcamp, for the next four months. I am terrified and exhilarated. The class facebook group has over 700 people in it. How insane is that?? And there is some serious talent in that group. I just keep reminding myself that I am doing this for fun and to improve, and to see what happens when I move out of my comfort zone.

It kicked off with a warm up task to explore the shapes in a St John's Wort. I had fun playing with the shapes. First step was to trace the shapes...

Then to have fun playing, and see what we came up with.

I can't wait to share more of my creations! Have you made time for yourself recently? Sandra x

getting creative again

Hello there! Yes, it has been eight years between posts, but what's a few years between friends?!
Somehow life got in the way and my poor little blog has been terribly neglected. Well it is time to change that. This year is all about me having fun while I re-embrace my personal creativity. I am lucky to have a job where I get to be creative every day, but I miss making for the fun of it, and after eleven years working for Intrinsic, I have started to forget what my own style even is!

My first step towards rediscovering my personal creativity was taking Charly Clements' fun with faces skillshare class. And I had so much fun! Check out my cute drawings of my daughter...

I loved drawing for me again, and I am loving being back here writing again! I can't wait to see where this journey will take me. In the meantime, please tell me I am not the only one who picks up a hobby again after taking a massive break!
