It appears that I have hit a snag with a hag. Yes, I possess rather exceptional poetic wit also, but that's not what today is all about, is it ? I fear that I may have alluded to much creative greatness this week...something about 'many little ideas....busy, busy, busy,' or some such waffle.
Well I'm afraid that I have stumbled into a small creative void. I have attempted to start a new piece but I'm struggling, poor old Witchy, she's just not floating my boat.
There are aspects that I like, but more that I don't. The biggest problem is that she is for a very dear friend of mine, so I am determined to make this work. *Sigh*, I'm sure if I keep my cool that she will eventually start to fall into place. Deep breaths Waffles, deep breaths.
In the meantime, I thought I would share some bright and cheery kiddie pieces. Petal's brightly coloured butterfly which looks to me rather more like a hungry and unimpressed zombie.
Le Artiste's birthday masterpiece which features Petal...with fangs. Hmmm, it would seem that Halloween has indeed influenced our creativity with witches, zombie butterflies and fangs. Either that or I should book us all in for a happy family group therapy session. Excellent.
Oh, I also thought I would include a panel of 'The Petal' series, as there were a few requests last week. It's quite lovely to see the difference when they are all placed together.
You know the drill now, don't you ? Quick, over to
Kirsty's you go, for many, many more snippets of creative cleverness and inspiration.
And today, we jouer avec le crayon. Would it disappoint you to learn that I am not wearing a beret jauntily on my head ? But perhaps a croissant and cafe de lait may make my acquaintance this afternoon, oui ?
I am taking a really deep breath. This is one of those posts that I'm not sure I want to make. I love joining in with My Creative Space, but my space this week is causing me heartache. I was hoping, with a little time apart, that Witchy would some how flow more easily.... hmm, perhaps more time ?
Actually, Witchy has grown on me, but I really don't like the window. I like the boy on the left, but the boy on the right isn't quite what I was after. Oh dear, what to do ?

Not many changes going on between my creative space from last week to this week. I'm back sketching away on my next project with my 'not always reliable but very still and professional model' up on my computer screen. If you are wondering (I find that most creative minds are also inquisitive minds) the sketch book on the right is covered in Ninja chicken prototypes. Bet that's got you curious now hasn't it ?
This is a very rough first sketch of the next young intrepid explorer.
And here is 'Boys Abroad' in all it's coloured glory. I love bright colours, particularly the deep red. Who wouldn't want a bright red pirate hat, arrrr me hearties.
Not a lot of colour floating around my creative space today. I am back to Stage One of a new project, sketching whales and little boys, trying to draw a pirate hat and enjoying seeing these new little people take shape. I'm still tweaking the pencil images but hope to move onto ink outlines pretty soon. It's so thrilling to find an image from my head appearing on a piece of paper, I think that I end up as surprised as anyone.
For lots more lovely creative spaces scoot on over to Kootoyoo's, but don't forget to have a warm cuppa beside you so you can really take the time to admire all the cleverness.
