art thread?

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. 🙂

Gilly, save your pictures to a folder in your Documents and post the pictures from there. It is much easier than fiddling with PB, and everyone can click on the little arrow to see the real size of the picture, instead of the tiny one from PB. I have PB, but hardly ever use it now since they changed things around. All my pictures are posted from a folder in "My Documents."

Thanks for the nice comments. The cat pic is actually done with coloured pencils, but I think that it would look better in watercolours.

sandy, thanks for sharing some of your pics. Hope to see more of your work. 🙂

joono, that's not bad at all. And the frame is a perfect match for the pic.

Erica, very nice pieces of craft. 

gill, I like the tapestry. 

I think that the Golden Age of arts and crafts(and life in general) was before the advent of TV and the Internet. Kids played outside, and people made things with their hands. In addition to art, I hope to eventually get into woodwork and metalworking and make toys. To create something with my own hands is satisfying.

Anyway, Anzac Day is fast approaching, and I will be working on a watercolour to commemorate.

Thanks Erica, that was very nice of you to say and Moonlight too.

The cards are very good.  My dad's wife makes all her own cards and she lets dad choose one of them to send every time it's one of our birthdays or Christmas.  I don't think she has made any with flowers but she does collect odd bits and pieces to use at some time.

Gill you are very clever even if not so with the camera 😄

I couldn't find my wig to display it ... I am not really happy with it as a finished project, but I've got all sorts of ideas about how to do it differently next time.

However ... IT IS FLOWERS.  

I think everyone else's work is wonderful!!!  WELL DONE.  Congratulations to all.  

This has been fun and I hope someone else will suggest a new project idea for the next couple of weeks.

I like your flowers Katy. Everyone's work is lovely.
