Hands! Yikes! Hands are hard! These are an attempt to copy @evalottchen’s drawings of hands—she is SUCH an inspiration to me. If you haven’t yet followed her, run, do now walk to her Instagram feed, and sign up for her totally inspiring newsletter! She is the BOMB!

Today was Creative Sandbox Community Virtual Playday, my birthday celebration edition, and this is what I made. 😊 🖍
20+ participants made art together, shared resources, and cheered each other on. The variety of work created was stunning and inspiring, and I am excited to do it again!
🖍
This is the kind of community we foster inside the Creative Sandbox Community. One of the participants today shared that her gremlins made her think she’s probably not as talented as the members of the Sandbox, but one of the members piped in, “no, no, no—we are supporting each other, including those comparison traps we *all* get caught up in periodically. Of course everyone brings different strengths and is at different points in their creative process/evolution, but it’s more about linking elbows and encouraging each other.”
🖍
I couldn’t have said it better myself. 😊

Big decisions rattling around in my head are making me feel like this tangly knot doodle. All tied up in knots! I’ll get to the other side, but it will take awhile. 🖍

I’m currently in the middle of reassessing my morning routine. I *was* starting off with my shoulder rehab/strength training first thing, which I loved—it got me in a good frame of mind, got my workout out of the way and done, and set me up to meditate next. But… I found that I wasn’t always getting to my art. Sigh…
🖍
Lately I’ve been back to journaling and doodling first thing, which puts me in a great frame of mind mentally… but then I don’t always get to my workout and meditation! Sigh…
🖍
Of course, there is an obvious solution: go to bed at 9pm and get up at 4am! 😂 Yeah, right…
🖍
What’s your morning routine?
🖍
Meanwhile, join me this Saturday, November 17th, for my birthday celebration and Virtual Playday! Watch me make art and share my process, make your own art right alongside me, and ask any questions you might have (about anything at all!) 🖍
