Painting Again

My hunger to learn and experiment has no end! Maybe I should stick to the things I know and do well and stop wandering around, as Alex told me. But it's no use! I can't help it! I always want to try myself in different things. Maybe I haven't found my "thing" yet, or maybe I don't have ONLY ONE "thing".
My first love has been painting, but I gave it up too soon. I've made some efforts from time to time but nothing too serious. I've never stop sketching and drawing of course, also as a part of my other profession, a part-time art teacher for elementary school. But I was thinking "Anyone can impress a seven-year-old with their drawing skills", so I didn't give me much credit.
Now that will has come back to stay, I think. Lately, I've been watching many videos-tutorials on YouTube about mixed media techniques, collage and stuff and I'M HOOKED! Looks simple and easy and in fact, these aren't things that I haven't already tried in some way. The only thing I lack is the proper supplies, but a visit to the shops will be all that I need.
My latest painting was this one, in which I've tried to make some layers with scraps of paper but since I had only acrylic paints and not the fancy water color pencils and crayons that I've seen in many tutorials the result isn't so transparent. I'm working on it though.
What Do You Think?
Seems that a new adventure has begun! PAINTING!
Let's see how I'll make it with this one too...

Creative Weekend

Hello, hello again! Did you miss me? I'm here once more to share with you my creative weekend.
First of all on Saturday  I've made some cute pendants out of clay.
Then I've painted them with acrylic colors
And finally, I've added them leather string and ribbon so I can hang them.
On Sunday I've attented once more another workshop about school mementoes.
This time we've made a photo frame and decorated a binder.
I haven't finished mine. There are some more details that I'd like to add.
Also my binder. Still needs some details...
And here are the creations of my "classmates".

 It was really fun for once more. I wish there were more of this workshops around here.
So, how was your weekend?



Δημιουργικό Σαββατοκύριακο
Γειά σας, γειά σας και πάλι! Σας έλειψα; Είμαι εδώ γι' ακόμη μια φορά για να μοιραστώ μαζί σας το δημιουργικό μου Σαββατοκύριακο.
Πρώτα απ'όλα το Σάββατο έφτιαξα μερικά χαριτωμένα μενταγιόν από πηλό.
Μετά τα χρωμάτισα με ακρυλικά χρώματα.
Τέλος, πρόσθεσα δερματινό κορδόνι και κορδέλα για να μπορώ να τα κρεμάσω.
Την Κυρικαή ξαναπήγα σε ένα εργαστήριο για σχολικά αναμνηστικά.
Αυτή τη φορά φτιάξαμε μια κορνίζα και διακοσμήσαμε ένα ντοσιέ.
Δεν τελείωσα την δικιά μου. Είναι μερικές λεπτομέρειες ακόμα που θα ήθελα να προσθέσω.
Επίσης το ντοσιέ μου. Χρειάζεται ακόμα μερικές λεπτομέρειες...
Και εδώ είναι μερικές από τις δημιουργίες των "συμμαθητριών μου".
 Γι' ακόμη μια φορά ήταν πολύ διασκεδαστικό. Μακάρι να υπήρχαν περισσότερα εργαστήρια σαν αυτά.
Λοιπον, πώς ήταν το δικό σας Σαββατοκύριακο;

Creative Weekend

Hello again. How are you today? I hope you've had a wonderful weekend. Mine has been really creative and fun. First of all I've added some more details to my Indie Biz Workbook and have started working on the first session.
Despite that, on Sunday I've attented a workshop about Easter Creations. To tell you the truth, I didn't learn something new, but I liked the idea of going somewhere like that and create along with others. It was so much fun and I really enjoyed it. I'm even thinking that I should try teaching something like that one day! After all, I have 5 years experience on teaching crafts to children (I work as a part time teacher in elementary schools for the subject of Art) and I've been crafting all my life. It's the only thing that I feel I'm really good at.Who knows...
So, how was your weekend?




Δημιουργικό Σαββατοκύριακο
Γειά σας και πάλι. Πώς είστε σήμερα; Ελπίζω όλοι να είχατε ένα υπέροχο Σαββατοκύριακο. Το δικό μου ήταν πολύ δημιουργικό και διασκεδαστικό. Πρώτα απ'όλα πρόσθεσα μερικές λεπτομέρειες στο Indie Biz Workbook μου και ξεκίνησα την πρώτη εργασία.
 
Ανεξάρτητα από αυτό, την Κυριακή πήγα σ'ένα εργαστήριο για Πασχαλινές Δημιουργίες. Για να πω την αλήθεια, δεν έμαθα τίποτα καινούριο, αλλά μου άρεσε η ιδέα να πάω σε κάτι τέτοιο και να δημιουργήσω μαζί με άλλους. Είχε πολλή πλάκα και το διασκέδασα πάρα πολύ. Αφού σκέφτομαι ότι θα έπρεπε να διδάξω κι εγώ κάτι τέτοιο κάποια μέρα! Έτσι κι αλλιώς, έχω 5 χρόνια εμπειρία στο να διδάσκω χειροτεχνίες σε παιδάκια (δουλεύω ωρομίσθια σε ολοήμερα δημοτικά σχολεία στο μάθημα των Εικαστικών) και ασχολούμαι με τις χειροτεχνίες όλη μου τη ζωή. Είναι το μόνο πράγμα που νιώθω ότι είμαι καλή. Ποιός ξέρει...
Λοιπόν, πώς περάσατε το Σαββατοκύριακό σας;


Thank You So Much For Your Visit! Come Again Soon!
