Creative thoughts.

When I woke up this morning, I decided to do something a bit creative. I've had so many tests lately, it's felt like I haven't really had a break to do anything fun, creative, or relaxing. I'm a super creative person, so whenever I decide to do something artistic, I can get a little bit carried away. For instance, last Halloween, I spent 3 or 4 hours carving a pumpkin, which included a graveyard scene, a hissing cat, a spooky moon and stars, a haunted house, and an eerie tree. I had a picture to look at, but most of the carving was improvised from the image I had in my head. The end result looked pretty incredible, but I spent quite a bit of time carving a picture into a vegetable that would rot in a couple of weeks!

Another "short" project that I attempted when I was feeling artsy was a painting of a deer for Father's Day. A fun painting afternoon with the girls I was babysitting turned into a week-long, self-commissioned piece for my dad that turned out nice but turned out far different from just an afternoon of playing around with watercolors. Here's the finished product, which can also be seen on my Google Site.

This morning, since I knew I had hours and hours of studying ahead of me, I just had a cup of coffee, listened to a song, looked at crafts on Pinterest, and lit a candle. Here's to the next little art project run wild!
