Entdeckungsreise ins Selbst
Some more of my stones were still waiting for a design, thus I ventured upon making them my focus for today. I really love painting on stones, it gives me so much joy! It’s like being able to turn off my mind, and just be, and follow my hands to create what my soul is…
My son and I went to the store to buy styrofoam eggs. We wanted to paint them for coming Easter. Joyfully, we coated the halves of the Easter eggs with paint. Then, like with the stones, we got stuck as the color wouldn’t dry very fast. Back when working with the stones, my husband had…
And again I am with the stones. I just can’t help it, I love it. Today, though, I decided to follow the lines of the stone. Just painting lines where I see the stone is giving me some to follow. On top was left space for a little face. Later, when I looked at it…
Our stone paint project continues. Today finally all the layering of base paint for our stones had dried, thus we could go on with painting the stones according at our discretion.

I had a lot of liquified paint left from a prior project. I had this idea to simply splash these colors on an acrylic painted frame, and so we did. I invited my son to participate, as this covers the usual playtime, for which I hadn’t have much time nor energy today. He was very happy, and…
Today I had a clear idea of what I could create, which wouldn’t take me too long a time. I took a blank stretcher frame with a white acrylic base, and added many different stripes of tape. Following I prepared 5 different kind of paints, diluted in water, so I could splash them onto the frame…
Mission accomplished! Happily, my son was interested in painting with acrylic and poster paint, so i got a chance to complete my paintings I had started some days ago. I so yearned for making these paintings really special. After all, they are gifts for five different people! Initially, i planned to paint them in a way that they…
Pretty late in the evening at 7 p.m. I began setting up my space for painting – a place I will be able to leave everything untouched, so I can continue where I stopped previously ANYTIME! Today I began doing what I promised to have had done until the end of last year 2015. I…
I am participating in the online course “A Creative Adventure of Self-Discovery” to enhance creativity since end of April 2013, simply in order to get back to my creative life, to learn focusing also on me now and then, to make time for self-care and self-growth. The exercises I need to be doing range from writing, reflecting, to creative tasks such as painting, doodling, collage making etc. Here goes the first one.
