Last weekend I had my first Christmasmarket, so I spent the week before putting the finishing touches to everything. Which always takes up much more time than I count on. With a lot of last-minute stress and late nights as a result. But it was fun and I sold quite a bit.
Here are some things I've been making:
A few boxes:
Some wooden hearts with a (Dutch) quote:
A few mixed media branches (these were fun! I'll definitely make some more ☺)
I also got my copies of my 2 calendars and I'm very happy with how the colours came out:
And I got my colouring books from the printer, and sold half of them already :-)
It looks a bit hazy but that's because there's a plastic cover on the outside....
I did only one image per page, so that it's possible to tear them out and frame them.
And lastly I made a whole bunch of new Christmas- and New Years cards. Here are a few of them:
I will put these in my Etsy-shop, along with some more coloring pages.
That's it for this week! Haven't had the chance to work on my big canvas anymore. Still painting in our new house, but it looks as if it's going to be the new year before we can move in. We're experiencing a lot of delays in getting things done, f.i. we don't have any heating at the moment, which is not very comfortable in the middle of winter .... ;-) So we'll just stay with my sister's a bit longer until everything is sorted out.
Linking this as always to Paint Party Friday. I haven't been able to visit your blogs this past week, looking forward to seeing what everyone's been up to!
Thanks for visiting! I wish you a very pleasant day and a relaxing weekend! Here's my funny for this week:
