Thank you for all the sweet comments on the previous post. I guess we all wish that we can do whatever we want... and certainly in a journal we all can
(send me an email if you try something crazy).It will be pretty silent on this blog for a couple of weeks. Today we are flying all the way from San Francisco to here. It is a place where there are people that know me when I was little, where my feet will remember the streets, where many dreams started and some came true. Hana was a six year old girl when she was there the last time. Now she's returning as a 16-y-old teenager. I think what I'm looking forward the most is to see her reactions to everything and everyone...
As much as I can't wait to be there, I already miss our home. I went around today snapping pictures... This is how the tree in our backyard looks now:
I wonder if it will be in its full glory when we return or will the flowers fall off. 
I don't expect to have time to do any art there, but I wouldn't feel right if I didn't have at least some supplies with me. I thought you'd like to see what I'm taking with me on the plane. Are you familiar with Magay Ohika's (itsybitsyspill) art? I adore her quirky figures and amazing use of color. I treated myself to one of her clutches. It will house my supplies and bring me joy every time I reach for it. Inside will be my little watercolor set, several pencils, conte crayons, a brush and probably some water-soluble pencils or crayons (I can't make up my mind). Oh, and a new journal of course... I couldn't use one many that are lying around... Do you see Sharon's little card? I can't leave without my friend, so I'm taking her card with me. Her new amazing class will start soon.... I will join it when I return.
Look who's else travelling with me:
Another etsy find. Everyone knows how much I love birds, so I think this was made for me.
Isn't that the cutest ring ever? I found it here and fell in love (there is even a coupon code if you are interested - MGMBLOG).

That's it for now. Stay safe, be creative and have fun.

ReplyDeleteZorana,
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful trip. Perhaps you can do some art in the airport or on the plane. Journals are great for that. It sounds like a real journey you'll be taking full of memories and reconnection. Look forward to hearing about it when you return.

PS: Thank you so much for featuring my little bird ring. She will be well travelled.
Hi, Congrats on the upcoming trip. I just know it is going to be grand.
ReplyDeleteDon't know if you have time to order but maybe some other time you may want to check out the Peerless Watercolors. They come in a small tablet form of concentrated dry pigment. I just touch them on the corner with a wet brush, colors are brilliant and wash beautifully. I keep a set in my travel kit as well as water barrel brushes. Also Derwent's Graphitint pencils are great.
Sretan put!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time, it is always such fun to return to our child home.
ReplyDeleteTake photo's for us!

My tummy was queezy all day yesterday as if I was flying high high high. All I could think about was you. Now I realize, I am with you like the last time. I know I'm having fun but I will be so anxious to hear all about your fun time too.

ReplyDeleteIt's always a good thing to bring at least a few art supplies - keeps the artfires burning.
