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. 🙂

I am in awe of all the artistic people on here...some very beautiful items:-)

I am not arty at all...in fact I am the last person picked to play Pictionary:8}:^O

Wow what a talented and clever bunch you are!

I'm with lurker, I'm not really arty, though I used to dabble in a bit of craft in my younger years.

First up is a heart shaped box that I "painted" the other day to show how the paint pens look on a paper base ... it's made like the coasters I was talking about.  It took about 10 minutes ...  but you can see how bright the colours look in comparison to a lot of other mediums.  

Second is my awful attempt at Edward. :^O :^O :^O

I thought it was Boy George. :^O

Just got back from Officeworks, and here's what's in the basket.

- Desk lamp + flourescent bulb: I had been drawing under a yellow bulb, and that made it difficult to discern colours properly, particularly if the shades are similar. White light should fix that problem.

- 18 colour acrylic paint set

- 6 brush set

- chalk: I want to do some drawings on the road and footpath

- pencil sharpener 

- eraser tips for more precise erasing

Very nice rosie! B-)

soul*art, when are we going to see some of your work? 🙂
