Reflections On 2011 & A Poem for the New Year
Hello Lovelies,
I went through lots and lots of files and images yesterday, some saved from the internet, some snapshots I took myself during the last past year and realized I had actually accomplished a lot, even if my etsy shop may still seem small.
Here are a few quotes i find encouraging this time of year for all who start over, take the leap and leave their day job for a more creative outlet.
After the inspirational quotes (more this pinterest board of mine), also comes a poem. And a lovely one at that.
I also want to share here in this blog more of what inspires me, more of my daily doodles in my art journals and more of actually finished work. Maybe throw in a healthy recipe or two, from time to time?

August, You're a Funny Month that Way!
Hello Lovelies!
Happy Monday and Happy First Day of August!
Today I'll share with you some personal thoughts about this coming month and my feelings, both old and new, towards it. And of course, the reason why they changed over time...
I used to feel and think I utterly dislike August. A bit like January, it's a bland, non-special kind of month. I don't like summer much, as I suffer from the heat and it makes me lazy. The days in August usually feel endless and I long for some "Back To School" time, some action, like new lessons, be it in creative writing, singing or playing the cello!
But instead of submitting myself to my worst instincts this year, i'd like to avoid boredom and sleuth this time and actually start to enjoy August for what it has to offer: sensuality. Peaches are a delight to be enjoyed, the lovely Jane reminded me today.
I live far from the beach but there are plenty of small rivers and creeks to explore and water to dive in. And what about my town swimming pool? I should give it a try!
August is also a great month for walking barefoot in the tall grass, wearing soft linen dresses and DIY jewelry, like the sweet Anna Emilia, catching fireflies and taking long naps before it's too late and we're too busy again.
We have great rainstorms around here, in the South of France, during August, and they're a marvel of Nature.
On the creative front, i've been quite busy lately with new abstract compositions and I'd love to continue on that strand.
Keeping an art journal is fun and I found some great ideas over pinterest to fill in blank pages with dots, stripes and melting colors!
Thanks to the wonderful book, "Simple Abundance: a daybook of comfort and joy", by Sarah Ban Breathnach, I seek the simple affordable everyday pleasures in August, too. My mindset has shifted from the negative to the positive. September will be all the more beautiful for it, i'm pretty sure!
And you? Any month or period of time you dislike during the year? Let me hear about it!

We All Live in a Yellow... Tram!
Hello Lovelies!
I've been thinking (it happens, too). And guess who's gonna ride those beautiful Lisbon yellow trams? Well, me, very soon!
So while I'm away, blogging will slow down. I'll post on Mondays (moodboards) Wednesdays (beautiful butterflies found around the net) and Fridays (interesting links and flickr faves of the week).
I'll keep that slow rythm when I get back from Portugal, since I believe I need to find a balance between blogging (too much) and actually drawing and making art (not enough at the moment).
So what do you say? I think blogging three times a week is fair enough, right? And you'll get more interesting posts when I get more art-related content to share with you!
I also have a couple of projects (secret, hush) up my sleeve. And I want to share them with you, some time soon!
Much Warmth,
Vic from TeaButterfly.
