It has been a while since I uploaded any art to deviantART. I have posted mostly daily on my blog - artwyrd.com - but not here. So, today I thought I'd add some artwork here too.

Colour Me Calm

3 min read
As the book is now listed on Amazon, I guess the cat is out of the bag.

I have done the illustrations for a book called Colour Me Calm which can be found here www.amazon.co.uk/Color-Calm-Te….  I'm still working on the last few coloured illustrations for it, before I turn my hand to the next book, which will be called Colour Me Happy.

  



This is the reason not much art has been uploaded and I've been very quiet here (sorry to those still awaiting a reply and I hope you'll forgive me).

It's all exciting for me and has been helping me through an extended period of illness.  Colour Me Calm and Colour Me Happy are written by an art therapist, Lucy Mucklow, as a way for people to use colouring and patterning as an aid to calm and peace and happiness, which is exactly how art helps me, and now I can help others who don't have the confidence to draw to find the same peace, calm and contentment that I do.

I'd like to thank all of you who've been wonderful in your support and words that have helped me gain the confidence in my art to accept the offers of the editors.  My thanks goes also to deviantART as through displaying my work here, these wonderful people have found my art and liked it enough to approach me to work with them.

It's been a manic couple of months.  The return to work (teaching) after the summer holidays has seriously curtailed time for artistic things.  It's now half term, so a week away from the madness, and I can put pencil, pen, and paints to paper, particularly with a project or two that need to be started and time found to crack on with them now that the contracts have arrived and the first lists of work needed too.

For those who've left a question, comment or a note for me in my teaching-imposed absence, please accept my apologies for my tardiness in replying ... I will get around to them very soon, honest!

As for all of you lovely, wonderful people who have added my work to your favourites - thank you!  I'm so glad you like my work and I appreciate your appreciation greatly :thanks:

Well, 'tis the start of the long summer holiday break for me.  I return to work on 3rd September.  Today I 'celebrate' the start of the hols by a rushed essay writing session for my hypnotherapy course.  After this just two more module days and three case studies to do and to write up as 2000 word essays...

Arty crafty work has been ... kind of slow lately.  I'm often too drained at the end of the day to do much, or dashing around doing things to have time.  It can be a tad frustrating.

However, things are being created ... often for sale on Etsy.

Yes, that's right.  I have some of my arty-wyrdy arty crafty stuff for sale on Etsy - my shop is called Artwyrd (no surprises there!) and I will take custom orders for art or jewellery or other stuff --- just contact me via here or Etsy to arrange it!

And last, but definitely not least ...

A huge THANK YOU to each and every person who has fave'd a piece of my work, or commented on it.   Time hasn't allowed me to personally thank each and every one of you.  However, I must say that I really appreciate your appreciation and it warms the cockles of my heart that people find joy and pleasure in browsing through my gallery.
