Instead of taking time away from social media I've attempted to adjust the onslaught of it all. As I would, if I had a child using social media, I've limited my time. My eyes like to rest and my body likes to wake up gently, so mornings are good. I share my blog post between 7-8 am EST and then I take a brief look for birthday's and perhaps a comment on one of the posts from the day before. If it requires more than a thumbs up or a heart, I comment back later in the day, writing a reminder to do so.
So this week would have been the tail end of time away and I'm doing a lot of snuggling with the pup and just streaming stuff and things. I am doing a little art on days when I feel it, including grouting (yay me!) but for now, I'm just mostly resting and enjoying the time.
Here's a few things I've done this week. I grouted the peace sign!
I'm very pleased with how she turned out. On Mosaic Monday, I'll share the link for her through my website. It is available for purchase. She's gorgeous!
I got myself some flowers for my birthday. I need to do that more often. They make me smile.
I did manage to also play with painted papers and doodle on the roll-off papers that I added paint markings to. They are so cool and fun to do on evenings when I don't want to start a new doodle. I shared similar papers on Wednesday. Looks like I'll be building quite a collection for future collage work. Especially if I only use one or two doodles on the page per collage. Wow!
I'm working on something special for the holidays with both my doodles and collage art, separately, but I'm not very far along on the progress at the moment. I'm not even sure it will happen but if it doesn't all come together this year, I'll aim for the end of 2026. A goal or two is great to have!
I can share some doodles I've done recently, waiting for new alcohol ink markers to arrive so I can finish them up. I love them all, but the last one is probably a favorite. It's got kitties in it!
Not a bad week for someone who isn't energized or inspired. I believe the Muse took over a few times. That's always fine with me. I just allow intuition to do it's thing and get out of the way long enough for things to happen. I never overthink things with art. If I don't like it when it's finished, it becomes a part of something else. That's the way I do it, anyway.
Have a good weekend! And come back on Monday to see the new peace sign.
Enjoy the journey.
