Images in a Day

 

  

Hello lovelies. How did your weekend go? I must say mine was like a huge tall glass of ice tea after days of going thirsty. Haha! We spent the whole Saturday outside, enjoying nature and finally getting our deserved dose of fresh air. Started off the day by visiting Mount Tangkuban Perahu National Park, admiring the beauty of the Queen Crater, and remembering the first time I had seen it as a child. It's always wonderful to relive your childhood memories and sharing a new one with your own children, isn't it? After that, we followed a trail and ventured into the woods. Something I have not done in a long time! The trees seemed to muffle the sounds from the nearby road and all we could hear were the birds chirping and the wind whistling softly. Then we ended the day horse riding and strawberry picking. All in all, it was a fantastic day and as you can see, my two older kids sure thought the same. How I wish we could have more days like this....

What about you? I hope your weekend was as wonderful as mine. :)

Hugs,

 

In a Day's Work

After dawn...

...came sunset...

...from dusk...

...all the way to midnight.

I woke up early as usual yesterday and was greeted by a goddess on my drawing table. She's actually part of a commissioned work I was working on last month, and somehow I just couldn't let her stay "bare" anymore. So, I decided to gradually work on her all throughout the day, stealing bits of time here and there, drawing and adding colors on. Remember when I said last time how I felt deprived of working on my personal work? Well, this sure made up for it, big time. I'm just so glad that a commissioned work could extend to a further satisfying and pleasurable moment. I guess next time the trick is to stay resourceful and creative, with a handful of hope and faith in my pocket. *wink* 

Anyway, Flower the Midnight Goddess is now available as fine art prints in my shop, and the original drawing is also there waiting for a future home. On the shop front, I have a couple of special promotions for everyone! Check them out right here.

Hope to see you soon...I really miss visiting everyone! :)

Hugs,

Working Away

I have been swamped with commissioned work and staying up late every night for the past couple of weeks. It's been quite tough, especially because I still have to take care of the three little birdies during the day. It's a good thing I can steal an hour or two of sleep while nursing the baby, but still, I have been living like a bat for days and I'm sure that can't be good.

Funny, though. As much as I like doing these commissions, I find it a little depressing that I don't have any time left to do my own personal work. Do you know what it's like to have visions and ideas in your head but can do very little to pour them out because you're working on something else? My God, it's nerve wrecking! See that Pink Bunny up there? Well, he was in my head while I was working on a sketch one night. And because he's so cute and adorable, I thought it would be better to have him on paper instead of letting him jump around and distract me up there. To my surprise, I felt much better. Maybe you just can't surpress some things. I know I'm glad I let it out, even it if had cost me time. :)

Anyway, I really wish I'd get the chance to visit my favorite blogs and wonderful friends very soon. Sorry for being so quiet lately, I hope life is good where you are!

OXOX,
