Farewell for now

Dearest Friends,

With the new year upon us, it feels time for a change. Over the past year, I have found myself spending more and more time on other social media and hardly any time on Tumblr. It feels strange to be posting to a community that I am not actively engaged in. So, in the spirit of creating space for the new, I am going to archive this page and invite you to come and find me on my Instagram and Facebook pages.

Thank you so much for following me over the past few years here on this Tumblr! Thank you for your encouragement and support. I am wishing you a very happy new year in which all your dreams come true! Divyam xxx

All set up for #ThePaintedDiaries with @diekleineriet ! A year of making art every day with a different theme each month. I bought 4 packs of 3 of these wonderful A5 sketchbooks from @cassart1984 not realising they included two different greys as well as a black sketchbook. I thought it would be fun to start the year with the lighter books and progress to black, finishing the year with a black belt in the martial art of daily art-making! https://www.instagram.com/p/Br-pKGKjLdt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xk044yeulijp

Rituals class - December

Rituals class – December

My solar spread for the December Rituals class was all about celebrating the past year. This month we were playing with a colour-blocking technique. After having been away from home with a teensy weensy art kit, I went crazy with paint, pens, stickers and collage papers! (The stickers are from the latest Flow book for paper lovers.)

I started with the colour blocks of paint and went on from…

My top nine posts from the past year. (Or at least the posts that have received the most likes!) #topnine2018 https://www.instagram.com/p/Br3QBAbD3tT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19qnpgipwzvf

The Stack. Art journals I have worked in over the course of the past year. Some are completed, some stopped halfway, and some are ongoing. It’s been great working with a variety of book sizes, page counts, and paper thicknesses — very much helped by the fact that we have changed journals with each @getmessyartjournal season this year. Once upon a time I did everything in a single A4 Moleskine. Those days are obviously gone! #getmessyartjournal https://www.instagram.com/p/Brxm9P8DT1x/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=55wxm4tr57g1

My solar spread for the December #gmrituals class is all about celebrating the past year. This month we were playing with a colour-blocking technique which I absolutely loved. After having been away from home with a teensy weensy art kit, I went crazy with paint, pens, stickers and collage papers! (The stickers are from the latest Flow book for paper lovers.)

Self-portrait drawn with eyes closed. From my prompt on the @getmessyartjournal site this week. Somehow I have managed to capture what I’m feeling on the inside, better than I would have done with my eyes open! #gmseasonoffreedom https://www.instagram.com/p/BrpcotTjOHZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3d19obk0fmiq

One of the most wonderful things about being on the beach has been feeling my bare feet in the warm sand. Yesterday I put my sneakers on for the journey home and had to take them off at the airport. Too confining!!!! #divyamsdiary #comics #diarycomics #cartoons https://www.instagram.com/p/BrlYrAbnb06/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nce3eqd974zk

Lunch at @sheerrocks took my breath away. Sitting on our own little balcony, looking out at the sea... #divyamsdiary https://www.instagram.com/p/BrZEShCnMsr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9n4o69d6yqjm

Yesterday was our last afternoon on our favourite beach in Barbados. But even though it’s farewell to this beautiful island, we are not going home yet! Today we are flying to Antigua for the next leg of our journey. Who knows what magical beaches we may discover there? #diarycomics #comics #cartoons #divyamsdiary (at Enterprise/Miami Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrPxhxfDeXX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o6vu6yjqp4hw

The moment when we learned that Mullins Beach Bar has closed. This bar was the heart and soul of Mullins Beach for many years. Thank you for the wonderful times. We are sorry to see you go! #divyamsdiary #mullinsbeach #mulllinsbeachbar https://www.instagram.com/p/BrK7niBHi2k/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bjall1qtzi09

This is what breakfast looks like. The banana family is very well represented here! Did you know banana is officially a herb? #divyamsdiary https://www.instagram.com/p/BrIOFoqn5ul/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1aqzo5kt91eq8
