Another Meditation Scribble Drawing

Yogi Tea Quote

If you do anything out of sheer compassion, you will never be wrong.

Yogi tea

I started this month with an exercise plan and would later incorporate time for my art making.

Well some things have changed. But I have started back on my exercises and made an intention to draw a few minutes each night.

String of Pearls Drawing

Meditation with Drawing

It’s been difficult the last few days. I have been drained and just couldn’t keep up with what I needed to do.

So I decided to do a small drawing for meditation.

Supplies

  • Color pencils
  • Marking pen
  • Paper
  • Ruler
  • Cutter or scissors

I started with a scribble, then colored the shapes in with colored pencils. Afterwards I added details in the shapes and around the shapes with a black pen.

Part 2 oil painting Iris

I started this painting over a week ago. I had some time before work to paint another layer. It became darker than I wanted it to. But I kinda like the bold colors.

A Little Update

I have been taking my time with this blanket. I am using a single crochet stitch in three colors. I chose these colors because they will blend in with my decor in my bedroom.

I haven’t been writing much on this blog because I have been busy balancing work and exercising and just trying to take care of myself.

I’ve been diagnosed with lymphedema and lipedema and heaven trying to incorporate more exercises for my lymphatic system. So my exercise usually takes 30 minutes to 40 minutes in the morning as well in the evening. So I have not had much time to be creative in my art journal. But I have been able to finish an oil painting that I posted on my YouTube channel. But it did take me longer to paint it than I expected.

Here’s the latest YouTube video please like and subscribe as it helps me to continue showing my art process and anything creative that I’ve been doing.

I have every intention to blog more often but I lose track of time with work and exercising and other things I need to do. But that’s a little update on what’s going on in my life and an update on my artwork and my stitching.

Rue Paris cross stitch

Update on my cross stitching.

I finally was able to stitch the Eiffel Tower. I had problems with getting it to look straight. Either I miscounted the colors when I was stitching or the pattern had a mistake in it. Either way I was able to fix it by putting a top stitch over it and it has improved greatly.

Lately I have been stitching and crocheting and finishing up an oil painting.

I have also started a new YouTube channel called Caroline’s creative corner it’s part of the 4pawsartstudio. It’s videos of watching me paints with music. I don’t talk about my painting in the videos unless I include subtitles. Check it out and subscribe and like to my channel it will help me continue the motivation to make videos.
