Crafters’ corner 2021

Lovely pictures. He’s captured the character of the subjects so well.

 

Beautiful drawings @Ashleyc They make you feel like you could walk along the street next to the houses or that you are stood in that boat yard.

 

Thank you for your kind comments.

 

@Ashleyc they're amazing. And @DianneW

 

Thank you

 

I did draw when i was very young but didn't keep it up and my son can as well but he's stopped doing it.

 

Lovely work Ashley. There are certainly some talented members on GC.

 

Hi folks. You all know how much I love my graddaughter Chlooe. So her fine arts really took off. She has had several request to post to the USA. This really puts the price up. Now a blow fom Etzy, or whatever it's called. They have just stung her for £600.00 as their fee in allowing her to promote her craft. Scuse the expletive but. But bloody hell. Chloee is a uni student. So friends. keep a wise eye opento these internet snares.

 

If you enjoy the thought and have a spare moment or two pick up a pad and just say just a pencil and try a little sketching....

 

Thank you but I probably won't I haven't got any paper and where would I put it afterwards if I'm any good at it.

 

A reason I don't paint any more. I crochet all the time but I give the items to Charity and have thought about giving them some of the paintings too. I can get tax receipts as they are Registered Charities.

 

Its not about being any good its about it you fancy having a go sometime and Winter is a good time. I have been playing on and off for years acoustic guitar and I am rubbish but still love the idea and just tuning it up, the sounds are just beautiful..(yeah I know, gotta electronic guitar tuner.)My late Dad was musical, by ear he could tune a washing line.I purchased an old 60's organ from a Charity Shop in his memory, the weight was an issue took four to lift it into our L200 Truck and then we had to negotiate our up in the clouds property..that is where the nice neighbours came in...

 

Exactly Dianne..!!..I ( like most other people ) kid myself I'm Ok( ) at singing along to songs.....now ...I am not a fan of him ...or this song but I kid myself every Christmas that hubs ( and any other poor captured audienced soul who maybe within earshot) really enjoys my rendition of Cliff Richard's ' Misletoe and Wine'.......I have to admit I think it's a masterpiece!!! ,and that's all that counts!

 

Thanks all but in my spare time and when i feel like it i like to make greetings cards but at the moment the table that i do them on, the sun is on it and i can't see properly got cataract in my right eye and my vision gets distorted not bad enough to have it done.

 

Oh, if you have free time, you have to pick up a pencil or pen again....

... don’t be concerned about how it looks for the first few drawings - I found that it took a few weeks for me to get my eye, and hand, back in tune again!
