Day 365 (A year full of creativity)

365 days ago I decided to make a New Years resolution that was different than any other one. One that I would not forget or let go of by the end of the month.
And what a year it turned out to be.
Even through the ups and downs everyday without fail I created something. Sometimes I created more than one, other times one project took more than one day to complete. The goal was to put in the time to make something. That January morning when I woke up at the crack of dawn to make my first creation I never imagined that, that specific decision would have such a drastic and deep effect in my life. And I never thought that out of this experience I would get to meet new friends from all over the world.
As another year is starting I decided to continue creating. This time I am going to allow longer projects to count too so I can work on my Oils that I have neglected :D  The goal will be to have a cohesive  body of work that can be presented to a gallery. Oh.. and make prints of a couple of my paintings :D
I can't thank all of you who followed me, and cheered me on through this process. You made the ride so much more enjoyable and I hope we have even more fun in 2012!
Love,
Venetia

Day 364

Leaving the past behind

With the year ending everyone is focused and what goals were met and what lessons were learned. 2011 was a year filled with challenges for most of the planet. I personally don't want to dwell on that.
I also worked on the lace of the second crochet piece but it is taking time... because it is finer. I really want to have it done before midnight tomorrow. Crossing fingers it will get done.

Day 361

Lace border  being added on crochet piece

Sunrise

Woke up early and caught the sunrise so I tested the new UV lens filter. In the evening I met up with my aunt who showed me how to add the lace to my crochet piece. It takes 3times  going around the whole piece. So I am doing it on the original thicker thread one and then will go to my smaller piece to complete that too. I would love to have both done by the end of the year. Means I should work fast!

Day 360

Rolling in the Deep

I have been very emotional today. Then again I have been very emotional  lately.
In deep waters.

Day 359 Merry Christmas

Christmas Day Sunrise

Museum Sunset

Christmas Day Sunset

Christmas Day was wonderful. Got to spend it with family and sister managed to stay awake a bit longer today but still in pain. Today's painting was inspired by the wonderful sunrise  this morning.One of my gifts was a uv lense for my camera . While testing the camera with the sun and lights I captured the beautiful images above.  I only adjusted the size but didn't touch the color or brightness.
Hope all of you who were celebrating today had a wonderful day.
