ADVENT ART DAY-1

Embroidered Heart

Happy December everyone! I see a lot of illustrators doing advent art and posting them on social media. I have tried doing this a few years back but lost mometum to reach 24th of December. This year I'm going to try it once again. Being realistic, I have chosen an easier route to post little snippets of my existing artwork on most days and create something new only when I have some extra time. Lets see for how long I will be able to go on? :)

CREATIVE WARM UP

Desk essentials

These are my desk essentials other then the real tools and gadgets. Ginger chai with biscuit, a water bottle, my phone, Burt's Bees lip balm, Clinique body butter (used as hand cream) and flowers :). What are yours?

CREATIVE WARM UP

From my Sketchbook

Creative warm up or simply asking my mind to please keep quite for a bit? Let's not think for a while, if I need to be really impressive, original or unique. Just draw what I see in real life in front of me. Today its my favourite body butter that lives on my desk ;-) 

I am planing to do a bit of mindful sketching everyday by just spending 5 to 10 minutes to draw from 3 dimensional objects. I think this will help me clear my mind before I start working. I will try to post these drawings here on my blog everyday. Hope you will like them :-)

FOOTBALL BIRTHDAY

Football Cake

Personalised Football Invite

I've been incredibly super duper mega  busy last week. We celebrated our 7 year old son's birthday over the weekend.  As always I baked him a cake from scratch. Ok my cakes don't look perfect ;) but they do the job of making my little one extremely excited and I enjoy a ton decorating them and they are yummy too.  I also designed a personalised party invite for him. It was a fun and very sporty birthday party.  Birthday boy and his friends were happy :-)
