It’s wonderful to have had a weekend totally at my own leisure for the first time in ages. No deadlines, duties, chores; only free time to enjoy the sun, the blustering winds (close to storms) and my newly-found interest: illuminated meditation. Gilding my own drawings with gold, silver and bronze imitation leaves could very well turn out to be my ”thing”. Handling (and messing things up with) the crazy thin leaves makes for a person completely oblivious to the surroundings, which is a very liberating experience indeed.
So, here’s my first gilded drawing ever, an imaginary insect. I quite like it.
