Painting fairies

in blog •  6 years ago 

Just a quick post to show you the progress

I started off painting the fairies. I still have some work to do but it is getting late. I am getting tired and my back is killing me. So I had to break for the night. I will finish them up tomorrow and start on the houses.

Fairies look beautiful after painting. I'm sure it would look amazing when you are done with it. Thank you for sharing the progress!

I hope they do. Took me two hours to do what you see.

I should have got you to paint the bus lol.. I love the bright colors... hippie faeries lol

I thought about doing them darker but this is for my grandbabies so happy and bright it is.

Reminds me of back in the day, when everyone who played DnD used to paint their own figurine for their character..

Right that is what it reminded me of. I was so much better back then at painting these small figurines. But I haven't done anything like this in 22+ years. Not since I had my oldest child. But now that I have an empty nest again I am all over doing stuff like this again. I am so bored....

You can never have too many hobbies!!

When it comes to hobbies I might be a little ADHD as I have a lot of things I like to do. Even though some of it I suck at. LOL

I definitely have more hobbies than i have time for.. I used to play guitar a lot more before i had a family; i need to make some time for it again, maybe do a song here and there on Dlive. It's good to get back to the things you Love.. Healthy for you too..

It becomes easier to find the time as they start flying the nest. I never could find much time for the things I liked to do after my kids were born for my own hobbies but now I have found I have a lot of time on my hands so I am looking for ways to occupy my time as I grow my photography business. I hope one day I get to where I am working 40+ hours a week working for clients and not just for the art. Currently I work about 10 hours a week but I want to work more but you always have to start some where and I am on target to my 5 year growth plan so till then I been doing art photography and experimenting with other arts and crafts. I am also about to start listing twice as much on eBay as I had with Diaper Cakes. And am going to liquidate the jewelry I have been selling, I am not passionate about it and I find sorting tedious. I found what kind of diaper cakes sell for me and can replace the income from the jewelry so I am about to convert my focus. See what I said about ADHD lol

Yeah. but it's good to have a plan! My kids are kind of young, and i am kind of old... LOL I'll be 70 by the time they're in there early 20's... So i really have to make the time for things like guitar, etc. etc.
