I crawled around a bit today, trying to hoover under the sofa.

Today the first sketchcrawl of 2010 also took place, so I also did some drawings. I didn’t crawl during the sketching though, not good for the knees…

Drawing of washing up brush.
This morning I drew my washing up brush. It has a compartment for the liquid and when you press the button on the top, the liquid comes out a bit. I bought a bunch of them when I found them, because I quite like them. They feel nice in my hand and comfortable to use.

Drawing of toy mini.
Earlier I drew my toy mini car. When I grow up I want a real mini. Yes, with these colours!

New paintbox.
I found a new paintbox for my watercolours. My previous one, though not really broken, annoyed me. Every time I would toss it around or hold it sideways or upside down, they pans would fall out and everything got messed up.

With this new one, the pans sit firmly between two metal bits, and I have enough space for two small tubes (black and white) and my (water)pensils.

I spent the past ten days without my laptop, very interesting. I had my trusty EEE pc and my phone to fall back on, however, mostly just for the basics. My workflow on my macbook did not fit the EEE (for one, I really missed TextExpander)

I mostly rested, having an RA-flare, and did some decluttering (which I intend to continue). I also worked out a small plan to start a new sleeping-schedule. After trying for months to fit back in the ‘normal world’ I decided to revisit my afternoon naps. Not sure if I feel better, but I like the idea of getting up early, do stuff, then go to have a three or four hour nap in the afternoon and then do things in the evening as well. None of that power-nap stuff, I need solid hours. This way, I hope to spread my energy more evenly and to still participate in the ‘normal world’.

I tried it out today, and though I feel sleepy and tired and slightly confused, I did very much enjoy my afternoon nap. I also made a drawing this morning, during my first wake. Always good :)

Something's growing in my kitchen.I used one of my hemp sproutingbags to store some sweet potatoes. They liked it so much they started to grow.

Despite frequent hand-issues (just pain, it goes away with rest) I’ve managed to do quite a lot of drawing in phases. A few minutes on, an hour off, something like that. It worked out pretty well and I feel really good about the results. I’ve almost finished the four seasons set (always something left to tweak…) and took out bits to create two nice and calm backgrounds:

Float.I’ve had this one in my head for a long time. Even started painting it (with real paint, yes). I don’t know why, but today I had to do something with it, suddenly.

So I did.

And she floats.

Fall.This makes 3 out of 4 seasons, only 1 left. I’ve made them pretty square so far, however, I will tweak some more and make them all into desktop-backgrounds (normal and wide).

My precious drawing book, in which I haven’t drawn for a while.

I love the little fish on the cover, they don’t make it harder to bring the book, I’ve just not had that drawing mood…

I will pack it for my little trip this week. Must Want to draw.

Brushes drawing.Brushes drawing.
I bought Brushes the iPhone app and tried my hand at a few drawings. I have no real clue what I’m doing, but these are my first two.
