I couldn't find anything that inspired me for this postcard. So I thought oh I will do the Brazilian flag easy, right. Well it proved not to be. I did the flag upside down and then I had to fix it. Then I wrote the words and then they didn't fit, then I had trouble drawing the 27 stars in such a small space, so I painted over it again. Yikes.. I could go on and on but I will not bore you.
Here's a video you will enjoy, yes creativity does take time, this is an great depiction of that idea.
aww you had lots of setbacks but you got there in the end, well done for not giving up. It still looks vibrant and makes it possible for the story to continue.
ReplyDeleteI agree, some weeks will be harder than others. On those weeks I will do what I can and concentrate on the story.
yep sometime the ideas tumble out other times - nada- hey ho, your flag looks great.

Sometimes things don't go smoothly but if you persevere you finally get there. The important thing is to have fun doing it.
ReplyDeleteHope next weeks challenge is easier on you! Must say I really do like your flag! Yay, you made it through another week!!! :)
ReplyDeletegreat card, i went with the flag as well as didn't feel inspired by Brazil, but after looking at everyones cards i'm not sure where i went "wrong"!
ReplyDeleteI concentrated on story this week - not much time to do art - hence the black and white parrot!

ReplyDeletenot sure I would agree that the 4 year old or 4th grade is boring. They always seem to catch one off guard. You card is great and the story is interesting
