Nini's ATC swap- January

The topic for the January ATC was OLD MOVIE VIBES. It took me a bit to decide what to make and then, just one day, the idea came to my mind. Tahh dahh!

The funny thing is that when I was making it I thought about those old films about the I WW and when the other participants of the swap saw it posted on Facebook, they associated it with Casablanca! I love the way people perceive things in such diverse ways.

Book pad thingie

When I was in Slovenia a friend of mine and I spotted a pad that makes reading much more comfortable. We were in a bookshop and they had these nice looking pads, but they were pricey for what they were so my friend suggested making one. Unfortunately, our 'to-do-list' was so long that we didn't make it. So, the other day I finally decided to make one. It's not as sturdy as it was supposed to be, but it does the job :)

#wedrawtheyear challenge - January

#wedrawtheyear challenge

I have taken on yet another challenge. Yay! I feel the need to play with my watercolours a little more so when I saw this Instagram challenge I decided to hop on this one too. The host published the challanges at the beginning of the month so we can do them at any time, still I like the weekly challenge idea so I work on one every week.

Here's January

Week 1: snowflakes 

Week 2: sledding

Week 3: hot chocolate

Week 4: Mittens

Colour me Positive Project- January

Colour Me Positive Challenge

Back in December I decided to engage in a few projects related to watercolours. One of them is called COLOUR ME POSITIVE. The host provides us with a weekly quote and a few hints on the arrangement or the media to use. I decided this Project to be watercolours and pencil only although I might as well pluck up the courage and introduce some other ideas on the way:

So, here's week 1: GRATITUDE

Pencil




Week 2:  BE BRAVE

Week 3: LIVE LIFE
