Wednesday Museday?

So I didn't make a Tuesday Museday post yesterday... but I'm completely happy about that, because I was actually Doing Stuff instead. Creative stuff.

I finally started painting the matryoshkas.

And you know what? It was lovely. Gorgeous. I remember thinking to myself, "Wow! How ironic that I was putting this off?"

Turns out that painting on the dolls themselves is umpteen times easier and more enjoyable than painting the designs on the damn paper. The wood is so deliciously smooth, the colours are delectable. Yum!

It also turns out that the brush has an intelligence of its own. Seriously, I was worried about how to stick to my wobbly little pencil lines. Screw the pencil lines! The loaded brush has a flow and a smoothness to it that my shaky pencil lines just can't compete with.

So. I"m feeling pretty happy about yesterday's session. I was in a state of flow (bliss!) And the dolls are looking so, so pretty. I could be disappointed that I'm not able to pull a repeat today. But I won't be. Despite an inauspicious morning I've managed to post here. ;)

Oh - an update is called for, I guess! A couple of posts ago I listed my efforts up until Saturday, so here's the rest....

Sunday - Creativity Rehab post (day 10)

Despite the fact that it was Christmas, I managed to post here. I was contemplating giving myself a pass instead, but stuff needed to be said.

So I said it. And it felt good.

Monday - writing (day 11)

I wrote a never-to-be-published blog post. It wasn't terrible, and it didn't say terrible things. It just turned out that by the time I'd finished writing it I didn't need to hit the Publish button. That's all.

Tuesday - Painting matryoshkas (day 12)

That's right, baby. Yeah!

Wednesday - Belated Tuesday Museday post (day 13)

Self explanatory. ;)
