Work In Progress Frenzy ...

Yesterday was post free

figured you all needed a bit of a break after the week of posts for AEDM

and combined with the Paint Party Friday Featured Artist thingy

I figured there was enough of me out there for a day or two

but post free yesterday didn't mean art free

and I certainly have been busy this morning as well

and despite the fact that I had completely redrawn part of this older drawing 

for the Paint Party Friday thing I had grand plans of painting it in anyway

but of course as you can see by this I didn't get too far

in fact just one little measly layer on top of the other old layers

and just as I lost interest with this

I also lost interest with the other works in progress

instead distraction reigned and all sorts of other work was started

so the pile of work that is in progress continues to grow to staggering proportions...

I started a drawing/ painting of a new tea

Republic of Tea's Cinnamon Plum which is oh so delicious that it had to be painted

not looking at its prettiest at this stage

but it will get there

Then I stupidly decided to try the other new teas

and they needed to be drawn up as well

and one of these drink dispenser thingies

because I am coveting one like mad for Christmas entertaining

think anything will taste pretty special in one of those

not sure I  will ever use the drawing painting on the blog

but it was just one of those I have to try to paint this type deals

and this piece was drawn up for a future post for a series 

that I contribute to called When Artist's Cook 

and though they took a few goes to get how I wanted them

I am now kind of excited to get some paint onto them

as I can see in my brain exactly how I want it to look at the end

but while all this drawing was accumulating across the studio

it meant there were other things being neglected

I had planned on packaging up these cards that I had printed

so I could drop them down to a store that carries my work

But as much as I am thrilled with the printing quality and all that

and let me say they look much crisper in real life but the grey skies

mean my sad photography skills are pushed to the edge of acceptability

but ordinary, slightly cloudy photos aside

I can't for the life of me decide if these are the right groupings for packs

I think some groupings are working quite well

and some, like the one below, are down right dodgy

so maybe I will continue to just sell them separately

less decisions to make that way

which means more painting time

And I do love these little moo mini cards

most of them came out awesomely

if I do say so myself

no clue what I will do with them, but they were just too cute to not have them made up

So there is my summing up of the last two days

lots and lots of work done

and lots and lots to come

which means I will have absolutely no time at all to attend to my domestic duties

which makes me one happy happy artist
