I'm officially finished my week of illustrating my days. Some days I felt were just way too boring to illustrate but I found enough mundane details to fill an A4 page regardless! Maybe I'll still illustrate my days sometimes, if they're particularly worthy of illustrating. I hope you've enjoyed them. If you'd like to do something similar, link me, I'd love to see!
+ Ps. Click the images to see more detail.
I decided this week that I would do a little drawn summary at the end of each day in my sketchbook. It makes my day feel much more interesting than it actually was. Here are Monday and Tuesday's efforts.
What would you draw in an illustrated summary of your day?
"But Ma, I don't want to stop playing in the dirt and come inside for bed" - Theo.
My brother and niece have been visiting us for the past week and start their journey back home tomorrow. We've had a lovely time together, their first trip to Tasmania, and I've really enjoyed having art supplies spread across the kitchen table and drawing for hours on end with Rose and Luke. And I think just being in the company of an older child for a few days has helped Theo with his development. He is a bit obsessed with Rosie and I'm sure he'll be sad to see her go. They've spent lots of time playing. I love that the weather is warm enough at the moment for Theo to run around outside sans clothes. It's just hard to convince him to come back inside!
Theo posing for me with a package we posted last week.
Theo has a lovely internet friend named Jack. Jack is a total sweetie and lives in the UK with his mum, dad and sister. Theo has been the lucky recipient of some lovely little presents from Jack, including a video of him running around his backyard talking about Theo. I finally got around to sending some little goodies to Jack in the little package above. Theo helped me to send it/tried to tear it up/eat it. I spent many a night painting the front of the package while watching Outlander. I've been painting lots of envelopes lately, I just need to write the letters to put in them!
