I just spent the last hour leading a Virtual Playday for my Creative Sandbox Community. First, I gessoed a couple of clipboards (which I use for games during my Creative Sandbox Retreats), and then in the last 15 minutes I made this doodle.
🖍
Aaahhhh… such a gift to give ourselves creative sandbox playtime! And such an *essential* gift, because play not only boosts your mood, it also boosts willpower, which means it gives you more PATIENCE and FOCUS, so you’re better able to get all that “worky-work” done, without succumbing to distractions! 🖍
Creative play is not frivolous, it’s necessary. Don’t ever forget it! How are you going to feed yourself with some creative play today?

Day 5: “fee”
Playing with different ways of drawing this concept. Still clumsy at hands, but working on it! .

Abstract morning doodle. I’ve been having a string of insomniac nights. Last night I did not sleep much, and I feel pretty cruddy today. While creating this piece, I forgot how cruddy I felt. 😊
🖍
Maybe I’ll get to take a nap later…

More hands. Starting from the Day 2 prompt of “strength” from this month’s creative challenge inside the Creative Sandbox Community. Fists I’m starting to feel fairly comfortable with (just don’t look at the two in the upper left, okay?) but hands holding pens in writing positions? Gaahhh! It’s as if my eye cannot see those shapes! As if there’s nothing to hold onto. 🖍
I have not given up. I will try again tomorrow or the next day. I simply haven’t figured out the “formula” yet. Eventually I will get it, I’m sure, if I persist. 😊
