Creative Journey - A Daily Dose of Creativity Week 35

I can't believe it's believe I've been doing this for over 30 weeks, it all started here.  I have been doing at least one creative act everyday for over 30 weeks now.  There has been days when I haven't taken a picture of what I have done every day but I have been creative. 

This week we were still on vacation so my productivity is hot or miss depending on what we were doing that day.  Some days were more productive then others. 

 
If you want to see what I am up to on a daily basis you can check me out on facebook or twitter.

Creative Journey - A Daily Dose of Creativity Week 34

I can't believe it's believe I've been doing this for over 30 weeks, it all started here.  I have been doing at least one creative act everyday for over 30 weeks now.  There has been days when I haven't taken a picture of what I have done every day but I have been creative. 

This week wasn't so good in terms of productivity but once we hit the cottage on Friday I got a lot done. Monkey was so happy to have some time to raft with me.  I didn't do much work on my business plan this weekend. Just working on product prototypes.

Pretty watercolours

Saturday - another big crafting day for us.

 We went to the Farmer's Market in town and picked up needle felting kits, the girls and I had fun working on them but the needles kept breaking on us. We broke 2 needles within 15 minutes of working on the kits and had to drive back to town to buy some more needles from the vendor. The 3 birds never got finished and 5 needles were broken. We will have to pick up some more felting needles.

Started a hat for Tutu

Art Date with Kids

 Art work drying

On Saturday one of Monkey's friends asked to have an art date. So Monday night after work M came over and I attempted to do some mixed media canvases with the girls.

 Monkey working on her art

M liked each step on it's own and didn't want to build up layers so each of her 5 canvases showcased a different technique. Muffin and Monkey did some mixed media and some with just individual techniques.

 Muffin working on hers

We spritz smooch spray through stencils, we coloured with wax crayons and painted over with water colours, we stamped and we coloured with water colour crayons that we later activated with water. And when I say we, I really me the girls.

 Monkey's work

I didn't get a chance to make a single canvas because I was either helping the girls or chasing after Tutu or taking him off the table (he LOVES to climb). By the end of the night I was exhausted but the girls had fun and that's the most important thing.

 Tutu getting in on the action with sidewalk chalk

M already informed me that she wants to do it again next week and she wants to learn new techniques. I love that they love it. And seeing that Monday is a holiday we can do it during the day so I'm not so tired.

What a great way to inspire the younger generation.
