I love a challenge, particularly one that requires a stretch of creativity. This challenge was no different.

A few weeks ago we had to move out of our house for two weeks while some building work was being finished (that’s a story for another day). We were in a serviced apartment. I had some art supplies with me but only those I could fit into my “I’m not leaving home without them” art supply box. My son decided to give me a challenge. He drew a random circle on my art journal and one on his page and challenged me to a duel … “create something from the circle”.

And so, say hello to “random circle alien girl”. I think she has spunk and, really, who wouldn’t like blue skin paired with stare-into-your-soul green eyes?
