I really must make myself an apron!

I bought a piece of cotton a long time ago and planned to make an apron for my craft activities, but didn't really know - for which ones. I don't get very dirty when I knit or sew. But now, when I started to paint, it seems that an apron is a very good idea and it's not just a "painter's accessory" for the photos in front of an easel! *^v^*
Couple of days ago I put on a pair of freshly washed trousers and on the same day I had glue on one knee, and today I found a smear of white paint across my belly, on a black blouse. I am messy with my art and I just have to protect the clothes!
Thank Heavens I'm using acrylics, watercolours and crayons, not oils! *^v^*

I finished one painting yesterday - "Russia" from my "Women" series.

10x14" cotton canvas,
acrylics
watercolour pencils
scraps from the Russian fairytale
varnished

It will probably go on ebay soon, but I'm still considering this. ^^
I also started the next painting and I hope to finish it this weekend.

Some journal pages:
I invited my Muse for a cup of tea (I love tea! *^v^*).

I'm on a path to some places and I have to decide whether I want to make another step forward or go back.

Just a thought of the day. *^v^*

This weekend I'm painting and knitting. Have a great weekend, guys! *^v^*

  1. LOVE the painting! Energetic, but peaceful at the same time. I like that you're using the country-themed story for your female icon.

    Speaking of icon --- <3 your muse!
    Flavors of Matisse.

  2. inviting your muse for a cup of tea is a great idea.
    I know that if you just always are there in the right place for the muse, she will know where to find you and she WILL show up.
