Do you have a little pouch in your bag where you put all you bits and pieces? Well, I was looking around for some inspiration because I wanted to make one and I came across this vibrant store. If you happen to stop by and take a look, you will realize how fun Ity, bity bags is! These are some of my favourite items I found at her shop!

I love drawing at Christmas time. I love everything about it. The festive colours, the wreaths, the trees and the decorations. I started designing a card with what I think the real meaning of christmas is on it
 
I used water colour on this. Water colour is fantastic to use! When you stop using it for a while and then start again you realize how much you have missed it! Water colour is probably my favourite thing to work with. What do you think the real meaning of Christmas is? 

Have a merry Monday,

I loved doing lino printing! It was so much fun! Yes, my arm was sore for a bit afterwards but.. it was worth it!! They are so great! You can make as many prints as you want and can re use them over and over again! Here are my three lino prints! 
My cute little giraffe, titled “hello up  there.” Unfortunately, I didn’t put enough ink on this one, so I’m going to try again soon : )
 
You may not know, but this is supposed to be Audrey Hepburn and in her arms is a deer, but it hardly looks like her and the deer in her arms hardly resembles a deer.. But anyway, I think it was a good effort!

I saved the best, till last. This I created with Kimberly, a friend of mine. Its Michael Jackson : )
Stay Magical,

P.S I came across another  really great quote today,
“Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” – G. K. Chesterton

Hey!
Its Saturday today! Hooray!  I love reading quotes, some are very thoughtful, some are not so thoughtful and then there are some that are simply funny. A friend once told me she was going to live by one of her favourite quotes.. and then she managed to forget it.. Hmmm..  Well, here are some I rather like.. 

This may not be a proper quote, BUT never the less you should listen to it by going outside and finding a peaceful tree to sit in.. 

I have always wanted to release balloons in the sky, once I managed to get hold of two colourful balloons  but as we were on the verge of letting them go… they popped.. great.. 

This one is very simple. But important. Follow your dream.

Did anyone else find this funny?  But the message is clear, Its okay to make mistakes!  We learn from them! 

Im sure you laughed! I did!! Yes, sometimes sunglasses do help in the cool department! hehe! 
So there you are, some words of inspiration and ideas..  

Have a WONDERFUL weekend!! 
Claudia
P.S I hopefully should get some of my artwork up soon.. : D
