Express Your Creativity Week 4

Welcome to Express Your Creativity. You can share paintings, sketches, art journal pages, poetry, photography, fiber arts like knitting and weaving, favorite recipes, organizational and decorating ideas, and more. The only requirement is that it is something that you have created in some way. I hope you will join me here and please pass it on. Please make sure to list your posts url and not your blogs url. This makes it easier for any late comers to find your post. If you are unfamiliar with Mr. Linky, this is how it works. You type in your name in the first box and the url/link to your post, not your blog address about your creative efforts this week. When you return your name will already be populated, you just need to paste in the new posts link.

I have created a blog button for those participating who might want to post this on your blog. You'll find it on the sidebar to your right.

Here is one of the drawings I created this week.





















This is a page in my Strathmore toned tan sketchbook.  First I drew the basket, I didn't get the shape quite right but its still a good representation of the basket I was looking at.  I used sepia Faber-Castel pitt artist pens. Then I added the Owl feather.  Its is the most special feather I have.  It was found in mb backyard the year I had cancer. The great horned owls in my yard were a part of my healing and truly gave me a wonderful gift.  I use it often on altars and just like looking at it because on one hand it is beautiful and the other it is so meaningful to me. I started out with the sepia pens again and then turned to colored pencil.  I love the way it looks on the tan paper.

  4. I love when a symbol from nature presents itself to give some meaning and clarity to what you may need to hear at the given time. I refer to these things quite often. Lovely drawings.
