Happy 2014!!!

Greetings, and Happy 2014!!!

My promise to you...

My blogging has gotten off to a rough start( but that's what I get for trying to start at the end of the year). Now that the new year is here, I am ready to start fresh and make a dedicated effort to blog regularly. My promise to you is to create a post every Friday as sort of 'week in review' of what's been happening.

Recapping last year...

In my last post I told you about my attempt at drawing faces, and here is the picture...


I have to admit, I think the eye looks the best. I will probably try more faces in the future.

I also told you about my passion for butterflies. Here are some sketches...


These are from my imagination.



The copy is in colored pencil from a photo, 
and the bottom is more imagination/experimentation.


Finally, I drew what I thought a human with butterfly wings would look like(naked).
I guess she would be a fairy!

This year so far...

I have finished my first painting of the year(started last year of course)! It is up for sale on my etsy shop MandilynJane



I also created a couple black and white altered rolodex cards to angel to a fellow Swap-botter.



What's to come...

I am planning a year of more art! I will create for swaps, for sale, and for personal growth. Which leads me to announce my intention of following Effy Wild and her Book of Days basic(free) program. I will create a new art journal spread each week following her prompts. For more information on the project check out her website Book of Days Basic. I will have photos of my first layout next week. The prompt for this week is to pick a word for the year, and create a page based on it. My word for this year is "MORE" (more art, more money, more fun, more time with loved ones, more exercise, more, more, MORE!!!)

What to do now...

If you liked what you saw hear and want to hear about, and see photos of my art adventures of the coming year, please follow me. If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions let me know. Until next week...
