Inktober 2023 Complete! ✔️

If you’ve not heard of Inktober, it’s a month long drawing challenge. You’re given the daily prompts and just enjoy, use your imagination at post your drawings on instagram, tagging inktober ❤️ They might share your drawing!

I’ve started it for the last few years, but never finished. But this year I actually have!!!

I’ve also been taking part in Inktober 52 this year. With a new prompt each week of the year, it’s a nice weekly challenge and not so intense as coming up with a new drawing everyday! We’re up to week 44.

Inktober 52 prompt list ❤️ I’ll share my drawings in a few weeks!

I’ve actually finished inktober for a change! There’s a few I’m not fussed with but just glad I finished it all! And tried to do a drawing within a drawing 🎃

Day one was on a separate page as part of Inktober 52 and then the rest of the 30 days fitted nicely onto an a4 spread in my Scribbles That Matter journal.

I decided to do it all on one page this year, partly because I wanted to keep it more manageable, I wanted to do it in my bullet journal and as I was laying it out, I had the idea to try to do the drawing within the drawing. Which definitely kept my interest, and encouraged me to finish it! It also made each individual drawing more challenging, trying to make them part of the bigger drawing.

Please check out Inktober on instagram to see all the incredible artists!!

Day 1 – Dream. Separate because it’s also part of inktober 52 (and I hadn’t quite decided what I was doing yet with the rest of the prompts)

Getting my EPP quilt out again

😱 OMG what have I done.

Seeing all my hexis that I’ve cut out together laid out rather than in a box is pretty intimidating. I’m not sure how many I have, I don’t think I want to know 😱 Just got to embrace the process and accept, this isn’t a quick project.

I’ve been slowly making this since 2020 lockdown, see previous blog for more information. What I’ve completed so far is hanging on my living room wall.

Ignore my stupid face and hair 🫣

I decided to make one of each hexi, as I’d bought some new fabric and hope it’ll go nicely with what I have already.

I was trying to decide how best to approach getting all these backed onto paper with losing the will to live. What I have been doing is making up a few in all the different fabrics and then making a few hexi flowers and starting again, before seeing all the hexi flower together.

This time I’ve decided to just keep a stash of one of the types of ready cut hexis in a box with everything I need to back them. So now I can just whip that out and make a couple as and when I feel like it.

EPP Kit

Seems less intimidating to do it this way, rather than getting the whole lot out each time.

So I’ve got 12 different fabrics now, I like how they all look together 😍 These are the samples I made to make sure they were all ok, and that the new fabrics fitted in with the original fabric I bought 3 years ago 😱

Embrace the slow process.
