hrymfaxeThis week was certainly less productive than the last, since Mr. Faxe managed to transfer his cold to me - there is a gift I would have rather been without! Having seen him going through it, I stayed home from work as soon as I felt my throath getting sore, and it seems I have managed to avoid the coughing at least...
Still, before I fell ill, I managed two smaller workouts, and I washed and oiled my racing bike, because all this salt on the roads is just eating away all the delicate parts.
And today I felt well enough to do a painting in the sketchbook, for the 52 week challenge that I mentioned last week.
So below the cut from the prompt "Rising to a challenge"
The next page in the sketchbook was a bit of a challenge since some of the color from last week had seeped through the page as you can see from below:
The tape is to stop the color I am going to apply from escaping on to the rest of the page. That was not entirely succesful, but I really liked the patterns the color made where it escaped along the edges of the tape.
Here is the final image:
I quite like it. :)
Next week is "retelling of a fairytale" so if you have any ideas for a fairytale I could use, I would love to hear from you!

Date: 2017-01-15 08:07 pm (UTC)The first fairy tale that popped into my head was The Princess and the Pea. For some reason, it always resonated with me (not because I have ever been a delicate little princess--far from it--but I have a sister who could have possibly qualified)!
