Micro-art, wellbeing and mindfullness

1/1/2017

0 Comments

 
2016 was a long year, hard work, new specifications, lots of changes & new challenges.

2017 I am going to be spending some more time looking out for me. Mindfullness, work-life balance and wellbeing are certainly going to be a large part of my personal agenda. #teacher5aday has been a big part of seeing what I can do to look after myself.

So my #teacher5aday #pledge #2017 (blog post explaining this is here - thanks to @MartynReah for this.)
  • More time for my art, I am totally self taught and want to spend more time teaching myself.
  • I will expand the jewellery I make and teach myself how to make beaded lanyards so I can ring the changes.
  • I will get at least 2 early nights a week.
  • I will cook more at home and make sure it is healthy.
My first foray into acrylic art. This is 7cm x 7cm and all done with tiny dots. #dotilism
