Inktober and map-calendar finished!!

I did it! I finished Inktober this year, and in one go I also finished my map-calendar :-D

Here are the last ladies of my Inktober-series:

I really enjoyed making this series. I wanted to make a small square book with all of them in it, but I couldn't find any print-on-demand shop that had square books in a small size. So alas, no book, unless I can find something else ...

I did however make my calendar! I haven't put it up for sale yet, because I 'm waiting for my copy. I always order one for myself first, so I can check whether everything is exactly as I want it before I put it in my shop. As soon as I have it and it's ready to sell, I'll give a shout-out!

Here are a few more pages:

I'll show all of the pages that are in there as soon as it's available for sale!

Linking to Paint Party Friday tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing what everybody's been up to.

Ending, of course, with some funnies and thinkies:

missing summer ....

Thanks so much for your visit! It means a lot to me ♥
Hope you're having a great day and, my American friends, don't forget to vote :-)

I'll be back as soon as my calendar is available! Take care ♥ ♥ ♥

Inktober series

Despite expecting that I would only be doing a few ink drawings, I am still going strong!

I draw every day, it's just the words that sometimes take a while longer.

And I don't succeed in posting every day.

But who cares? I'm enjoying making these ladies.

After I've drawn them I search for a quote that fits them well. They all have their own character and carry their own message, so it can sometimes take a while before I find a quote that fits them.

I try to post on Instagram every day. A lot of people are participating.

Who knows, I might even finish this challenge!

I'm already thinking of maybe making a little booklet out of these ....

But first of course I need to finish my calendars. Hopefully by next week I'll have a few more pages done!

That's it for now. Linking to Paint Party Friday tomorrow. In case you haven't had enough yet: here are my weekly funnies and thinkies :-)

:-(

Thanks for visiting! Enjoy your day, and for those in the path of a storm: stay safe! ♥ ♥ ♥

Taking it easy ...

Another inky face and journalpage this week. I still don't have time to start a new painting, but I'm happy I manage at least to do some journaling :-)

Here's my inky weirdo:

I love making these weird faces and then looking for a well-fitting quote to go with them. When I have enough of these, I might make them into a little booklet. Or maybe use them for a calendar :-)

I also made a new journal page. I have a few of these journals that I always use for my leftover paint whenever I'm doing something. So every now and then I go through them and see if something jumps out at me. And in this following page I saw an image of a mother holding a child. And it reminded me of the many many children that are still without their mother or father after being separated at the border in the US, so I painted it and added a quote from "Les Miserables" that I felt fitted the situation quite well. 

And that's it for this week! Well, actually for the rest of the summer, because I've decided to take a break from blogging to spend some more time with my family and outdoors. Take a digital break ;-) I'll be linking this to Paint Party Friday tomorrow, where quite a lot of people seem to be taking a summer break.

Just some funnies and thinkies left. I had to include a whole bunch of Trumps visit to Britain and Belgium (ughh!). I'm not going into this, it's just too much, but jeeezzz, what a disgusting selfish shit he is. Excuse the language ...

Enjoy :-)

- Amen -

I hope all of you are enjoying some lazy free time, getting your batteries charged and your creative juices flowing. Thanks so much for stopping by! I'll be back somewhere in August.

Take care ♥ ♥ ♥
