Six Minutes Of Fame ... #BarAThon

I am taking part in the Blog-A-Rhythm Bar-a-thon challenge. The theme can be anything that requires grit and endurance, but not necessarily fitness related. And there are daily prompts. 

So my theme is simple, it's a blogging marathon about things to do with me in pictures, starting at one and ending at seven. 

Today's prompt is Six Minutes Of Fame

~

For a few years now I have been interested in arts and crafts. Supplies are very expensive so I have been collecting them steadily over the years. So here are six of my art supplies that I enjoy using. 

Watercolour is my favourite medium. I have five sets of watercolour paints, all of course student grade as artist grade are very expensive. For the type of painting I do, student grade is good enough.

I was introduced to Inktense by my friend who is also an artist and paints primarily in acrylics and oil. She was kind enough to lend me her inktense pencils as a trial and I enjoyed using those hence I ordered the inktense blocks. 

I use acrylics for mixed media painting and journalling. Acrylics are not my favourite medium but I do enjoy using them. I have only 1 box of acrylic paints that has lasted a long time so obviously I don't use them as much as my watercolours.

I was intrigued with watersoluble crayons and when the Crayola Portfolio set went on sale at a throwaway price on Amazon, I promptly ordered them. Pleasantly surprised, this is a medium I could grow to love. 

Lately I have started vlogging about my artwork and crafts and I am truly enjoying the vlogging experience. Check out some of my art and craft vlogs -

And where does the prompt fit into all of this? Well, my YouTube stats tell me that I have had 165 views and 164 minutes of watch time. So perhaps I've already had my six minutes of fame!

What is your six minutes of fame? Share in the comments.

Art - my new passion for 2016

At the end of last year I took up watercolour painting and I am loving it.  Art is so relaxing. I was between jobs and thought I would try my hand at it.

So here is my impression of Uluru or Ayer's Rock in Australia. Looks pretty easy to paint, but trust me it is not.

The Aboriginal people believe that Uluru was created at the beginning of time by Spirit people and is hence considered a sacred or spiritual place.

I've never been to Uluru but would  love to visit. Somehow I've always felt it was a place of significance though I don't know what that significance is. Perhaps that will be clear when I get there someday.

This week I went back to work - same place I finished up at in September so I am thrilled to be back there as I love it there.

My son got accepted into the Architecture Master's programme so I am thrilled about that and so proud of my boy.

Been reading Beyond Past Lives by Mira Kelley - an interesting read though some parts of it I did not resonate with. But then that is what books are all about - you take what feels right and discard what doesn't. Her book raised a lot of questions so I guess from that perspective that's good.  Will have to meditate on the answers.

I hope you all had a good week.
