Summer time!

So it was finally Summer here last week. I'll spare you pictures of the grey and rainy sky we have here this morning, but it was actually hot enough to sit out in the garden last week - imagine that!

What better time than this to do a little sketching and painting? Weeds may look horrible in the garden, but they make great examples to sketch from:

Challenge!

As you may or may not know, Artjournaling-dot-ning-dot-com has a biweekly 'Challenge!' run by different people. The idea is to get your Art Journaling juices going (again), trying out a technique you may not have thought of, using colours you might not normally use, trying out something new or something you had forgotten about.

At the beginning of the month, it was my turn. And today, I added my second Challenge! If you want to go see it, you need to sign up for the Ning site, and then sign up for the free(!)Challenge! workshop. Yes, you read that right, it is free. But if you like what you see there, there is a donation button to show your appreciation.. *hint, hint*

Please be sure to add your pictures if you've joined in on the fun!
