art thread?

[moonlyte]

Hi folks. I've just bought a box of coloured pencils, and will be working on my first drawing soon. I'll post the completed work here. Would love people to post their art here for us to see. Doesn't matter what type of art - drawing, painting, photos/photo manipulation, cake decorating, quilting, poetry, origami, whatever. Let's have some fun and show our creativity. 🙂

wow rosie you have the patience of a saint! 😮

Rosie when did you start that one, just asking, 😄 Hexagons, I did some 1" ones once, don't have the runner anymore.

I love having something to do in the evenings - dont want to be locked away in the sewing room all the time and it's a project I can take with me. 

We travelled from Perth this week on the Indian Pacific and I managed to get a bit done on the train - I find it relaxing.

Would love to see it finished one day - but I am 70 years old now so who knows LOL

And Pepe - believe me - A saint I am NOT

😮 so much beautiful work on here! Pepe, yours are great! I would never have thought of doing that.

Rosie, love your quilts, perfection! and as you know I greatly admire your colour eye, lol

I have made a quilt in a day but usually they are smaller than bed size and not heavily quilted, and yes, 6am til 9pm before it is done.

I started that one in November last year - have put it aside for the spare room and doing a slightly different design (same size hexagons) now - I find it is going together very quickly - I decided I didnt like the yellow in between for my room.   There would be a couple of weeks work in the piece I photographed.

I really find it relaxing and if i see the end result its a bonus!

I HATE quilting LOL.  I love the piecing and putting the colours together but where possible and affordable I send mine to be machine quilted.

The Quilt Police would not like it but I cant be bothered with them !

Well you are zooming along then Rosie, It's a good design/pattern to take along on long trips/holidays or if you have to sit waiting for things.

Wish I had taken in on the cruise 😉

OH was horrified when I said I would take it so I left it behind.  Will definitely not listen to him when we go again in May.

This is one I did a couple of years ago for my daughter's friend.
