Which means….time for Art!!
School is done and things are finally slowing down for me a bit. That’s good, because the sad truth is that I haven’t had time to do any art in a couple of months, really. And no art makes Silena one grumpy witch. Yep. I admit it. It’s amazing how stress relieving art is. Even when it becomes more of a job, it still has that property! And amazing how not having that really affects my overall mood and stress level.
In any case, finally I’m back at it, in many forms. I’m plotting and planning for a couple of murals this summer- I’ll post on those when they *hopefully* come to fruition.
In the meantime, I’ve been painting a little (also more to come on that), but the main thing for the summer is…pysanky! For me, summertime is the perfect time to stock up and make a ton of pysanky for next year. I’ll be teaching full time next year (yay!), so I want to have quite a few ready to go. Then I can make some when I have the time throughout the year, but without the pressure of having to produce all of my stock while working full time.
I’ve started out with some easies to get me back in the flow – a new series of wildlife eggs that I’m enjoying making…and people really seem to like buying! Naturally, they’re all animals of my area.
As always, I’d love to hear what you think! (And as always, please remember that these eggs are my art and as such, please don’t copy them to sell. If you’re just learning and want to try it out, feel free! And then send me a pic…;~D )
