What's in store creatively?



After we take Laura to the airport tomorrow morning (have to leave home at 4 am), Laura will board a domestic flight to GoldCoast and a connecting international flight to Osaka. I decided I needed to take today off from work. I needed to support both Laura (with her last minute preparations) and Bryce (support is always there). I felt bad taking a day off from work, but there is no urgency with work. What doesn't get done today gets done next Monday. Work can wait. On the weekend, we are going to Orange to catch up with Gem. Looking forward to warmer days. Is that possible? So some creativity ahead. Sydney Sketch Club has a busy agenda. Most weekends are taken up with 1 or 2 days. The other En Plein air sketch group meets monthly. And there's always my own creative adgenda. As I sat in the hair dresser's chair last night (she was creative), I looked at an INSIDE OUT mag and was inspired by some designs I saw there. So fortunately, I had my sketch pad in my bag and was able to copy down a few designs. I had bought 3 Japanese design books when in Kyoto, and have hardly used them. I shall get them out and be inspired... today. When Laura and I were in Kinokuniya yesterday, I saw some other really lovely little design books. But you can clutter your life up with too many things. So I won't get those til I have made good use of the books I have. I also bought some 0.28 pen refills yesterday. They draw really beautifully. Bryce is feeling wistful about Laura's departure. He will love their reunion in April next year (Cherry Blossom Time). I will get organised for that.
