The blog is turning into the ‘Kirsten Craft Show’ at the moment (no offence my love, it’s just very you-focused right now!), so I thought I’d better post something. For all those Matt fans. All 4 of you. Whoever you are…
My thumbs breathed a sigh of relief on Saturday - I finally got a new mobile!

I’ve been in a painting kind of mood lately. I’m not sure what has gotten me so inspired lately - probably a combination of things. I’ve been talking to Matt about him making me a website just for my artwork where maybe I could even sell some, although I think that could just be wishful thinking. I really don’t know if any of my stuff is good enough to sell - Matt thinks it is, but he is biased. Feel free to let me know if you think this idea is totally nuts.

This week’s creative prompt is Wallpaper…

Terrified that I would screw it up!
Her living room has lots of shades of olive greens. This is what I came up with:
I had to stand on a chair and hold the camera over my head to take this photo, so it’s not great.
I haven’t shown the painting to Denise yet - I hope she likes it! It’s scary painting for others but so much fun!

This week’s challenge on Inspire Me Thursday is:
I thought this was a very interesting topic! I was a bit too lazy to get my paints out, and my scrapbooking stuff was right next to me, so I made my inkblot using a piece of scrapbooking paper, some blobs of Making Memories paint (the only colour I have is pink!) and some Kindy Glitz. I folded the paper in half, and this is what it looked like:
