273...

9 months people!!! 

seems a little unreal and a slightly nutty too ;)
but here is September


92 faces to go... 
keep on keeping on! 

weekly round up


i prepared some collage backgrounds recently
and i am loving working with many layers again.


 i am still having so much fun with these faces.


sometimes i even wonder what i'm going to do next year when i'm done
with this project ;)


i'm mixing up art tools and mediums like crazy, 
it is keeping me fresh and inquisitive, 
just what i need! 



my way of telling my story i suppose... 


playing...


with the exhibition coming up 
working in the studio has felt more serious lately
 and i miss the playfulness of just exploring and experimenting.


so the other day i gave myself permission to do just that, 
 it was SO delicious! 
and of course some great ideas came out of it... 

permission to play = always very important! 

100 to go

today was a big day...

 265th day of the year, 100 faces to go, 
feels like it's been so big already.
this challenge is teaching me so much! 



snippets of each month

some days are tougher than other
but the learning curve, the showing up, the experience 
make it all worth it. 


onward we go ;)
thank you for being in it with me!  

grounding



last week we went to the Drakensberg mountains for a few days. 



i love living by the ocean but so much water and wind can
sometimes feel wishy washy and ungrounded. 




so getting back into the mountains, 
into the solidity of them 
is both soothing and strengthening. 


and of course it was my mister's birthday,
we got to celebrate, explore and connect
which made it even more special.
