I decided to start a thread for any arts and crafts you do and want to share. I know I post in others but I just wanted to share how much its helping to calm my mind and would definitly recommend everyone having a go. You don't have to be prefect just happy with your own achievement. Its Daloni that actually gave me this idea for a thread with her wonderful things she makes. So here is our very own girls.
My latest project...
I have done the shading but I think I may add some colour maybe watercolor not totally decided yet.
A tip that was given me, is to look for images online for what you like, landscape, wildlife etc apart from you can get a srep by step guide how to draw or paint, you could also save the image and insert into a word document and you could make it bigger or smaller depending, print onto thin card and cut round it and you have your very own stencil, alot cheaper then buying it and it will help with your confidence because you can draw round to get your basic outline then colour in the detail. Worth a thought.

Well said Ann. There's a lot of interesting articles and discussion on the internet about how arts and crafts and generally doing something creative can be helpful to building esteem and boosting wellbeing. It has social benefits too as GBear has explained. We don't have to be brilliant at what we do, just so long as we enjoy doing it! Looking forward to seeing lots of posts of all types of arts and crafts here! xx
