When I said I would blog about doing something creative everyday, I'm not sure I thought things through. I kinda forgot that I would have to document my attempts in a way that ACTUAL people could see. I was feeling tired and lazy today, which I think is evident in my painting. I decided to paint a TINY little flower illustration from a pretty postcard that I bought in the Victoria and Albert Museum. I used acrylics paints as watercolours, and some Inktense pencils for the first time. They are like watercolour pencils, but give an inky effect (shocker!) and can be used on fabric too. This is what I have done so far...ta da!!!
The postcard I took the flower from is on the top-right. Its a print of a watercolour textile design by William Kilburn, which dates circa 1788 - 92.

So. Cute. If that's you being lazy i'd love to see what you'd create when motivated. x hivenn
