BOOM!

It's Day 21 of 30 Days of Creativity - and I've not kept up to date with it - until now! Each highlighted word represents each day's theme from 30 - from 10 to 21. It was harder than I thought it would be to write. Bringing heat like a toaster Your words draw pictures in my mind with bright crayons You free my mind like Abe Lincoln And Eureka-ify Albert Einstein -style Your love’s a picnic of treats and assortments Delving deep in your ocean I swim among sea creatures Hipsters unconventional like us Hold superpowers untold My feet never touch the ground when you’re around I’m like a beach ball in the sky – in your air We’ve got a love with platypus -defending proportions People can call this cheese , but I don’t care, I'm overcome with emotion  Get involved with 30 Days of Creativity   xoxo

Today I have decided to creatively deviate and write an actual post :) ) Last weekend something clicked.

The 30DaysofCreativity continue. I sketched Alicia Keys from the 'As I Am' album cover just before the clock struck midnight, so it's rushed. (Time management issues.) In other Alicia Keys related 'news': Unthinkable (I'm Ready) remains my fav AK song of all time. If you're doin' the 30 Days too, I hope it's going well! Let me know how it's going and what you think...

"30 Days of Creativity" 30 Days of Creativity is a social initiative encouraging people to create stuff (anything) every day for 30 days in June. "Your brain is like a muscle. When you exercise it, it gets stronger." (Above - T'is a link you can click on) I love portraiture so this I what I intend to focus on for the month... But portraits aren't just faces so look out... Day three: Well, here's the thing. I started day two, but wasn't happy with the results - here's a snippet of George (of Clooney)'s Eyes... I could have done something else, but I forgot all about it! :) Here's day three's results - Erykah... Happier with this result, but still... On to the next one... The first part of this post was a link, but if you don't scroll on everything like me to see if it's a link or not, type in http://30daysofcreativity.com/ (or go on and start a new habit - it's a link :) )

I've taken a creativity pledge I want to get better at portraits, so gonna try to do one a day in the month of June! #Day1 - Liz Hurley
