Be Creative 2014: Overwhelmed

I had to take a break from my daily creativity posting, because my day job is just too overwhelming at the moment. It includes working late and on the weekends, and I am just too exhausted to post something every day. As I don’t want this project to be something I have to do, but something fun that I want …

Be Creative 2014: Inspiration by Luke Pearson

Be Creative 2014: More Foxes

Today I went to a new huge art supply store. It is in walking distance from my flat, so I do not have to go to the other end of the city by underground to buy some paint. Yay! I bought a brick of Super Sculpey and made another fox. Super Sculpey is by far the best material I worked …
