Don't tell me October is almost over ....

Waaah, I'm starting to feel panicky and all stressed out .... I have subscribed for 2 Christmasmarkets this year, one at the end of November and one the second weekend of December. And after making a list with all the things I still need to do I'm feeling quite overwhelmed. Because of course there's also the house, which needs painting and a whole bunch of other things, and after that's finished we still need to move. Move! Pack everything up again! Omg, just thinking about it and about the state our house is in now makes me want to run as far away as possible and hide under a rock.

So what did I do this week? I made sure I finished my first calendar, and I'm in the process of finishing my second one. Why two, you might ask, since I have so much to do already. And I don't really have an answer to that, only that I thought it would be nice to have 2 different calendars this year, and once I have something in my head, I want to do it, even if it means losing sleep over it. I'm a bit weird that way....

Anyway, here's the first one:

This is the cover, with a detail of every page that's in it. It's a 12-month calendar, starting January 2016, and it's available for purchase here. When you go to the link, you can see "preview" underneath the image of the cover, and if you click on that you can see every single page. Here are some that I didn't show yet:

 
You can see the other pages in previous blogposts, here and here.

I'm hoping to finish the second calendar later today. Here are some images that are already finished:

It's a more "muted" calendar :-) These are images of my sketches, with some layering done in Photoshop, and a poem or quote that says something about the month. I like experimenting with layers and I'd like to do more of this in the future.

In between I threw some more layers on my big canvas, but no images are appearing to me yet, so I'll just keep going :-)

That's it for this week. Linking this to Paint Party Friday and to Show you Face. In November there's a special theme going on in Show your Face, "In The Style Of", where you examine your favorite artists and incorporate what they do in your own faces. Should be fun!

Thanks for your visit! Hope you'll have a great day, and a relaxing weekend!

Here's my funny for this week:

 Haha, I sometimes feel like the little one after walking our dog ... ;-)

Hope to see you next week! ♥ ♥ ♥
