Step one complete: Sketching stage

So I’ve sat down, finally this weekend to design the shoe for my latest painting project, thanks to numerous inspirations such as famous Manolo Blahniks… hopefully will get this transmuted to a canvas okay.

Been a pretty hectic weekend, don’t even know why really, and this is the first time I’m doing something which isn’t stressful, sitting down and drawing. Note to myself I must do this more often.

Talk about de-stress, I started meditation class this week at the Sri Chinmoy center, it was pretty good. Though I did find going to a brightly lit room a little daunting at first, I was able to ease myself into concentrated breathing pretty easily. I’m trying not to pose ‘expectations’ on the results of daily meditation as it defeats the purpose of ‘being in the moment’, yet I’m still hoping doing it daily will help calm my mind.

Stay tuned to stage two, I’ll be posting the progress of starting the paint work on the canvas. No idea which palette from my nail polish collection I will use yet on the shoe, hopefully it’s easy enough to paint on the canvas – fingers crossed.
