Rolling back into the swing of things with another <a href="http://creativetuesdays.blogspot.co.uk/">Creative Tuesday!</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I might have possibly misinterpreted the theme as the cat in my picture is not black.... so maybe a more philosophical approach could suffice. My cat is dark - mummified and maybe even evil? Ok maybe that's too harsh.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Either way I am up at the crack of dawn drawing cats and videoing my efforts. If you haven't seen already I am now dabbling in some speed drawing. trying new things in each video. They are far from perfect and are mute since I need some research into music and copyright.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to work out next how to take a good video of painting without boring the viewers! What would you like to see me do with this?<br />
<br />
Here's the finished cat painting...</div>

<b>Origami again!!!</b></h3>

<div style="text-align: center;">
On another note I am really throwing myself back into origami. I used to do it and loved it but was very much a solo enjoyment. Now I have a few friends interested we're very keen on working on Christmas decorations! Need more paper already though but I suppose nothing is stopping me from cutting up paper myself... Food for thought!</div>

I am a few days early but I have completed this whole challenge - it has been amazingly challenging! it has introduced pixel art to me (the one subject I was least looking forward to but enjoyed the most!) Has anyone else embarked on this challenge? I reckon I can do it again for next year too.</div>

What a crazy month this has been</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last year I participated in one of the most fun events on <a href="http://www.illustratedatcs.com/index.php">IllustratedATCs</a> - called a Halloween-Athon. I'm sure it's popular elsewhere but here we set aside four days in October to make and trade frantically. Last year I was extremely under prepared. I had to go to work in the early morning which made staying up late to keep up with American trading impossible.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>This year however:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. I took 5 days off work</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. I made about 20 cards beforehand (with the help of #Drawlloween prompts) - check out one of my <a href="http://honekatie.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/art-topic-list-for-halloween-oh-and.html">last posts to see the prompts.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. I drew out lots of outlines to simply paint later.</div>

That didn't stop the calamity, that is my computer suddenly stopped functioning. I had a very panicked 12 hours where I thought some of my images would be lost forever. A massive sigh of relief when a disk clean up (which took 5 hours) got it back.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a rather epic day with a new friend from work, she is all artsy and we had grand plans to do some interesting stuff. I was going to introduce her to Art Trading Cards, make origami things, this strange plastic bead you can melt down and mold which then hardens. Followed by an interesting dinner and cookies (we figured that would appease the Georgie girl).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How did we do?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We made dinner and cookies - hah!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jody and I spent the whole day chatting and I showed my enormous collection of Art Trading Cards I have collected in two years. Georgie wanted plenty of attention and wouldn't go down for her much needed nap.</div>

Clicking a few links and looking around the internet I happened to bump into a very good friend of mine on her blog! And it's rich with posts and ideas which, when I have a bit more time I will start reading through. Her name is Amy Weaver - you can find <a href="http://theweavershand.blogspot.co.uk/">her blog at TheWeaversHand</a>. She has traded some awesome pictures of my daughter, I'm not usually a great fan of collage but the way she uses mixed media is just incredible. Seriously check her out!</div>

Out of the woods and back into blogging. A new effort to blog at least once a week on either Mondays or Wednesdays.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What am I doing currently? A lot! Seriously I have every single toe and finger dipped into projects with one larger project in mind. Though the way to do this is actually to take my hands and feet out and stick them all into one big bucket... Ok now it's sounding weird! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A children's book has been an idea I've had for ages but it isn't just me who says this. People from all over who have seen and received my art have always said I might be pretty good at this. I was never keen because I found the project a bit too large to comprehend. With a little help from time management apps (<a href="http://www.trello.com/">Trello</a> is just wonderful) - I am now attempting to remove myself from small projects and really make a go at this.</div>

One of my other little side projects is aiding small time Youtubers with bits of artwork to help make their profile colourful and attractive. Make way for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpOQVfCRkgbuctKowU7X4RA">Scott Whitehill</a> - he happens to work with me at the local Tesco and aims to make a channel about strange and wonderful challenges. Using some of his challenges has helped with my painting.... <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4JFm9ujUhU">Eating candy vs insects</a> - yummy!!! Go check him out, support is always a great thing! Do you know a Youtuber that needs a little hand in some fun free banner art? Send me a message!</div>

I am really enjoying really surreal art because you can make the stories up afterwards - I do love the idea of cheese trees growing on the moon instead of the moon being made of cheese. So many ideas!!</div>

Another month of the <a href="http://nibblefest.blogspot.co.uk/">NFAC</a> - I'm still pretty new to it but I have learnt that it's best to do all three for the month. I used to find it quite taxing on me creatively but now I'm really organised and have all the topics for the future in my diary. That way when I get a creative hit I can go crazy! Here are my three cards for this month - the topic is "Animals in Hats".</div>

Over at Creative Tuesday the theme this fortnight is "Hot Toast and Jam" - I of course can't ever miss the opportunity to bring out my pair of cute giraffes who obviously seem to like this for breakfast.

One of the swaps on ATCs for All that I've joined is Minion
Mash Up which was to find a famous painting and put minions in them. Now I am
an enormous fan of minions and I am thrilled to bits that they get a whole
movie to themselves next year!!! Here are a few that I've done so far. I was
tempted to stick to my ultra vibrant colors but rather experimented with
trying to get the colors close to the original painting as possible. A very
fun endeavor.</div>

I've also been experimenting with different pen thicknesses
with some great results. It helps that I've also acquired a tiny thin brush to
do all the fiddly detailed bits!</div>

I had a great idea once I saw this theme to once again shrink my cute giraffes so that they could go visit some bird houses of there very own. I don't think they found any birds as they've scared them all away. I don't keep a bird house at home but maybe I should, some of them are supremely adorable!!!</div>

It's been ages since I last wrote on my blog and I've decided to come back with some ultra cute elephants in socks (of course).</div>
<div abp="74" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div abp="75" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My first journal for me to fill has arrived. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All the way from Russia from Irina.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Firstly a thank you for the little bag of shells - yay.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now the theme set for this journal is flowers, awesome and quite an easy theme which works well for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I have recently got myself a large amount of stamps and as I've been sorting them to find foreign and British stamps I noticed a lot of bird stamps... Which gave me an idea for my first double page spread.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghCmrwxWQGv2UYa3Ut9b_JeWy2sHjwzOvTV_CmUdbordj3d_vf5IDVB79S2pwZ3qlEE7hNRP1aOlM4tV1ykUBfHWogCfEV1T3SRcIqfbtQCOINumzdSU42Xi_mMv54ALoEN__O7Qzfdr4/s1600/a+(Irina's+2nd+Page).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghCmrwxWQGv2UYa3Ut9b_JeWy2sHjwzOvTV_CmUdbordj3d_vf5IDVB79S2pwZ3qlEE7hNRP1aOlM4tV1ykUBfHWogCfEV1T3SRcIqfbtQCOINumzdSU42Xi_mMv54ALoEN__O7Qzfdr4/s400/a+(Irina's+2nd+Page).jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
All of those birds and houses are tiny cut outs from stamps - I wanted to add a lot more things but I always worry that I'd over do it. So I left it at that. This was my painted page.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So next I had a stab at some more collage and mixed media. I decided to go with my original theme for my journal and let Georgie the Sunflower say hello to Irina!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYnuZps-ornufwdtbrSQl0RFApcoEmAHa3Kfmbrp3Ge_FjMveNhu9cs-4wAIOWvyFZmuSt_396zxOnMdGJHG3gZO9vPgXM4BN0jLsD6DviEaf9dvcqY4EbUSmC0KPfaaJmDsaRXK2xXRU/s1600/ffssff.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYnuZps-ornufwdtbrSQl0RFApcoEmAHa3Kfmbrp3Ge_FjMveNhu9cs-4wAIOWvyFZmuSt_396zxOnMdGJHG3gZO9vPgXM4BN0jLsD6DviEaf9dvcqY4EbUSmC0KPfaaJmDsaRXK2xXRU/s400/ffssff.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvuxr-c5kyRlZr_fsN33wA9gq54Jca57jGoo5juH3efLTQoDJp1IfwKBotohaSmHCmGhAwvK9ywGp5hrDpgwcBIix69_52frs2IFSuAhdMwYBKxK1hKx7QVHXC3b8cZrIpKxhnhWUSm6U/s1600/a+(Irina's+1st+Page).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am really pleased with how this came out, with collage I never have a plan, I just start in one corner and slowly fill the page out. The border was cut from a napkin I received many months ago. I'm glad I could finally use it. I really enjoyed doing this first step of the long journey. I have 3 more journals to see and decorate and look forward to seeing mine come back safe and sound.</div>

I have joined so many different swaps in the last month - where do I begin...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well to link over to <a href="http://creativetuesdays.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Creative Tuesday</a> who's theme is Forest I have a swap that fits in nicely!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got invited to a "People of the Forest" swap - animals were allowed but there had to be one humanoid at least on every card. For some reason I find when it comes to mythical or fantasy based characters I lack greatly in imagination. To achieve all of these I spent ages looking on the internet and seeing what I could try and draw. I came up with the idea of a tree ent - but is that a humanoid or plant??? Hmmm anyhow - the Mushroom Man is my fave.</div>

Georgie got a goodie bag from an art friend of mine!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all this started out as a standard 2-2 trade.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made these two for her:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
There are four others in this journal swap - each of them will have two double page spreads to do what they'd like with. I have printed out four large pictures of Georgie (one for each) and I'll print out four small pictures. I want to give everybody the opportunity to do something similar to me, however they don't have to be limited. They can do anything - have Georgie go visit animals or discover an inspirational quote. There really is no limit. I can't wait to see this book completed, it will be several months before I get this back but I hope to see some fun results!</div>

I've started a new project alongside <a href="http://victoriakamalovazen.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Victoria</a> and three others. We're going to do a journal pages swap. Now I'm not very confident with this idea since I'm not used to working on pages and using mixed media. There was no theme so I decided to make a theme so that I could have a goal in mind while making it. So first of all I made the pages - had to watch a video on how to bind it together and I don't think I did it very successfully. I suspect I used a thread too thin so it isn't very tight. </div>

I also made a cover - I won't need to send this in the mail but the pages are pretty secure in it, shouldn't cost very much more to send the cover too, so I'll decide later.</div>

So the theme I've chosen is culture and secondly I'm going to make this book for Georgie for when she's old enough NOT to tear it apart! Originally it was so you could showcase your own culture but I've decided not to limit it, since I received some Chinese lettering I'm going to use that on my front cover. I have loads of international stamps and some paper notes I can stick in too...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I may give each person a questionnaire they can choose to fill out or not...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Not sure, has anyone done this before, I'm finding it hard to mix paintings with collage - what do I put in this??? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway - its an early start for me because my wisdom tooth is pushing my other teeth and my jaw throbs... hopefully getting them removed in a few months but that's a long time to wait.</div>

Over at Artist's playroom the theme is Monochrome which once again is very conveneint because I have just done a swap called Strangely Blue. Now the rule wasn't necassarily that everything was blue - just that the main object was blue. However I have never painted something in just one hue and didn't see why the whole thing couldn't be...</div>

And last night I did a Mondrian altered envie! Oh wow I've fallen in love with it and of course I want to give it to the person intended but I will miss it!</div>

Anyone know if an altered envie might sell? I wonder... Would you buy one and what price?</div>

Joined yet another swap (I think I'm signed up to about 8 at the moment) called Schooners, Clippers and Ships that Sail. The host was very specific, no modern boring ships. We want big tall ships with a hundred sails, well you get the gist. Interesting, this is sadly not one of those subjects I can go out and get my own photographs as reference - not sure I've ever seen one of these types of ships, do they still make them (except perhaps for Pirates of the Caribbean)? Great set to do, I did four for the swap and then did two more for Etsy because I think they're a good seller (I hope)!</div>

I am very pleased to announce that I won a competition! Yay - I've not won a competition since I was in school when the best poster would win a bag of chocolates (mmm). So you will have seen this before at <a href="http://honekatie.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/giraffe-and-elephant-in-miniature.html" target="_blank">"Miniature Elephant and Giraffe"</a> but this was entered for the Black and White with a Pop of 1 other Colour. I don't know exactly what I'll win but it'll include some paint themed goodies and possibly some ATC blanks which are always so helpful! Happy days!</div>

Well <a href="http://www.justaddwatersilly.com/search/label/APR" target="_blank">Artist's Playroom</a> poses the question- what makes you mad? Well there are many things that make me mad, such as snoring, mosquitos, yelping dogs and other such things. Today though I thought I'd point out how maddening exercise is! The reason it makes me mad is because you need to run for 2 hours or so to burn off a snickers bar and its simply not fair. I am a very lazy person who sits at home and paints all day long. I get very little exercise and I resent it. I also wish I could be fit but am not really that willing to put any effort into it. Sigh - oh well - also a shout out to <a href="http://illustrationfriday.com/" target="_blank">Illustration Friday</a> - their theme this week is "worn" - I suppose the angry robot is worn out? </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
A few weeks ago my friend wanted me to join an "Everybody Dance" swap - but I declined because the theme didn't really interest me... Later I decided to join because some of the other peoples cards looked great and wanted to get in on it. I was going to paint elephant and giraffe doing some moves, but they're perhaps a bit difficult to draw on an ATC doing the tango!! So I opted for my new Angry Robots... I do love how annoyed they look that they have to dance. What fun these were to do, I think the dancing tango robots are the most popular but I personally love the three flamenco robots.</div>
