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…

Easter egg painting
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…
Mary stone painting
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…
Painting stones
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 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…
Over the hills and far away
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…
Life is a puzzle
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.
