Well then...

Some days are so frustrating! yesterday was one of those days... too many little annoying things to mention, and no internet connection. I just kept telling myself "this is nothing, this is nothing."

I decided to dedicate the time to paint and plan projects and better yet, take a video! I had everything settled down, clicked to start and after a few minutes puff! The battery died. And of course I am using the camera that uses a rechargeable battery. Which takes like 3 hours to recharge. ლ(ಠ_ಠლ)  agh!
So I got the other camera, went to get ready for another painting and I cut my finger with something invisible. lol I have no idea what it was! But a chunk of flesh was missing from my index and it hurt a lot! Well then! 
I decided to take a deep breath and do something else.

At night the stars were better aligned I think, because everything went smoother. With a bandaged index I started a new page in my art journal and today I finished it, the video will come soon (hopefully!)

Dream!
Update: Thanks for all your comments! My finger healed after 2 days, just a little red dot now ♥ The video is HERE


I hope your day is beautiful and harmonious.

  26. That's my life with the camera, so much that I only use my phone now and I don't even know where the camera is, only the batteries. We have boxes of bandaids around here (lots of crafty mishaps) so pop by next time you want to do some painting! :)

YOUCH! i just finished your course and loved the intensity of color you use on faces, such as above. i just finished one where i used you as my bravery! i love the face above for exactly that reason. you are a courageous artist and i am so sorry the ethers brought in this invisible knife....but perhaps it was for you to slow down and rest for a bit. it feels like you are there for so many people! i loved your generousity on the video. you seem so kind!!!!! and giving!!!!! i hope you heal quickly. i will send you my gracious thoughts. HPPF. lovies, samara navi
