Hello friends. I know that it's probably getting old, but I'm afraid I must yet again start writing a new post with another apology for neglecting this blog. I still wish I had more free hours in a day so I could just spend more time doing the things I love most, and being here is one of them. Oh how I miss blog hopping and visiting all of you.... I really hope life is good where you are.
On a more cheerful note, I must admit that I've been enjoying loads of creative time in the studio. And for someone like me, that is a very good thing. I'm glad that these days I'm in a much better spirit while finishing work and meeting deadlines so I can have more time creating my personal stuff. Ideas are running around merrily in my head and I'm more than happy to draw them out everyday. :)
It's a bit strange though, but I've been drawing more and more fantasy themed pieces lately. Fairies, nymphs and creatures alike seem to monopolize my imagination, while I also seem to have this urge to draw decorative botanical elements to go along with them. My sketch pad is filled with doodles of swirly plants and odd looking flowers, and I don't even know what triggered this new craving!
I think it's always best to just keep drawing and pouring ideas onto paper while the mood is good and the drive is strong, without so much questioning everything else. I'm not quite sure where my nymphs will take me, but I'm no doubt enjoying the ride!
How about you? What are you into these days? I'd love to hear it, so do share! :)
Hugs,
She is just sompretty.

Thank you, Melanie! (hug)
DeleteSuch a great expression, love this piece.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mohala. XO
DeleteWonderful to see you creating! I keep seeing your drawings go by on facebook so I still get my daily fix. I am glad you are feeling in such good spirit!
ReplyDeleteManonX
Yes. Facebook is one place where I can literally post and run. So nice to know you've seen them, Manon! XO
DeleteBeautiful work! I think I need to bring you out to washington to teach me how to do watercolor!
ReplyDeleteHaha! I'd love to! Let's take note of that. :)

i love looking at it
so glad that you are having good times creating!
Thank you so much, Tammie dear. (^_^)
ReplyDeleteAmalia, your drawings get more and more beautiful each time. This one is so stunning, I love the shapes and gentle shadings, I've no idea how you find time with your little ones around, you are amazing to create such serenity when I know how hectic it is being a mum! Wonderful work!xx
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks so much, Jess. Believe me, I still struggle with every single thing and sometimes it's really hard to keep switching from work to taking care of the wee ones. I guess drawing and painting actually helps to mend all the tangles in my head and keep me from melting down all together. :D
DeleteSo good to hear, maybe I should take a leaf out of your book ;)
Deletexx
Dear Amalia,
ReplyDeleteIt's been quite a long ago when we had more free time and "talked" in our blos. To be honest, I miss those days!...
I'm thankful to know that there's a place where I can see your art and spend some minutes from time to time just admiring your wonderful girls with gorgeous hair - no matter long or short!
It's so nice that you can "catch" new inspirations and just follow them! I'm curious to see the new floral motifs and details in your future works!
Hope that your house is full of laughter, tenderness, love and happy children!
Sending you my love: Rossi
Rossi dear, I miss the old blogging days too!! Everything seemed a lot simpler back then, sometimes I still read the old comments and I'd miss it even more. :(
DeleteThank you so much for visiting me, and I'm sorry for being so bad at returning the visits. I hope you're well happy, my sweet friend. :)
XOXO
I've been into the fairies for a while now, and I'm veering into unicorns as we speak! :) I love this piece you did!
ReplyDeleteOooh... I love unicorns! Thank you, Kyra. XO
DeleteAh your beautiful pictures inspire me!!! Currently I am on a crocheting adventure which has included: A giant blanket for me, a circle vest for my mum, a pair of mittens and some other little things. Normally I have a phase of a crafty/arty subject - I do it once, and then I move onto something completely different. I think with the cooler weather we are having here, its been nice to sit underneath my little creations while I listen to music or watch the complete series of Black Books. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteHi Carola. Wow, that's so productive of you! I know what you mean though, sometimes when I "plunge" into something, I plunge all the way too! :D
DeleteI'm so happy to hear that you've been finding some time to let those fairies out of your head! She is absolutely gorgeous. Her eyes are captivating. Pretty botanicals and fantastical beings? Keep them coming!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Miss Bells! So nice to see you here! XOXO
DeleteReally wonderful work, Amalia!! Amazing!
