April Journal

Journal update

It's about time...

Scanning al the pages of my journal is not my favourite pastime, I'm afraid... That explains my being so terribly late!
I tried another selfportrait, not quite satisfactory...

My journal

I always forget these abbreviations, so I thought it would be handy to write them down in my journal.

One day...

I will post the right sketches on the right day!

Trying to catch up...

More sketches

This tealabel was too nice to throw away.

Another sketch for the book about "sight", a book with experiments for children.

What I really liked about the work of Alechinsky: you can clearly see his pleasure in drawing and painting, and his work is not pretentious at all.

A portrait of Lucy: her nose is too thick, her lips too big... I'll keep on trying!

Here I look like a ghost, in real life it is not so bad, I hope...

Sketchbook update

I am so much behind on posting my drawing journal! I'll have to catch up this week...

Journal update

Because I was drawing all the time the last few weeks-for my job, not in my journal- I glued a few of my working sketches inbetween the rest.
Otherwise, I would be getting too much behind on my journalling!

A bit of journalling

I'm drowning in my work for the moment, so there is no time for crafting. At least I was able to do a bit of drawing in my journal... Mmm, selfportrait turned out a bit creepy, more of that later in the year!

A strange day!

We had a lot of commotion at our house today, we had a chimney fire!
The firemen (about 15 of them!) arrived 10 minutes after we had called them, and an hour later everything was allright again and we could start to clean the house. But there was no damage, only a lot of dirt from the garden, because everybody was running in and out and removing furniture.

For once, I was really happy with our rainy climate, our thatched roof was too damp to catch fire immediately.

As you can see, it gave me some inspiration for my drawing of today...and no, I didn't make the drawing you see above here, I found it in a little golden book.

Droodles and failures

Oh well, not quite good, but I publish these droodles anyway... It is so hard to draw a cat that is not sleeping! Maybe I will get better in 2008, that is what I want to prove to myself .
