Hi everyone
I have had this idea for a new thread, not sure how much interest there will be and only one way to find out!
Anyone fancy joining an art club?
I thought we could have a subject each month, take it in turns to choose. Then anyone who wants to can draw, sketch or paint their picture and we can all share our creations. You can interpret it how you like: black & white, colour, abstract, cartoon... no rules.
Im not a great artist but I do enjoy the process of drawing and colouring in. It’s quite therapeutic for me but for ages now I haven’t picked up my sketch pad. I need a bit more impetus and thought this might help.
So, for January the theme is leaves. Or a leaf. Dead or alive, indoors or outdoors. I commit to producing something and posting it up on here before the end of the month. I hope some of you do the same!
Lovely idea. I’ll probably add quilting or photography
We did have a Craft and BC thread / chat but that drifted away
There ae go one I took in Autumn
Life is like a boxing match, defeat is declared not when you fall ..... But when you refuse to stand up again ....... So, I get knocked down but I get up again. x
Good idea Leolady, any medium welcomed! This is a lovely pic. The walking thread has made me much more observant when I am out and about and it’s good to notice something to snap and share.
Moomy I love your leaf! There is something about colouring in...
Yesterday I got out my sketch pad and pencils, which is good progress for me.
Fab-u-loso Idea,...well done...love it....and yes...there IS something about colouring in...love it xxxxooooo!!excited!!xxxxlovely pics already!!
Well,....You MIGHT think this is cheating a little bit.........I HOPE not...but I have been searching for a relevant leaf picture,or piece of art.Well,At Christmas I decoupaged this old diary ...and made it into a story book which my darling great neice and I wrote a few stories in.My ideas will probably not be to everyone’s taste ,so was a bit unsure whether to add on to your thread...However....here is ...a Decoupaged Frog Prince On A Waterlily (grass-y)Leaf!!!!xxx(plus roses and leaves )
Love this Violetsniff. It has made me think about getting back on the Crafts and BC site.
It's so good when we have these skills to take our mind off the awful treatments etc.
xxxxx
Love Edwina xx
