My Creative Space


Look, it's Thursday and I have something to post about for my creative space, will wonders never cease ? I'm still re-discovering my water colours, trying a few different things, looking for new effects. I was aiming for a ripple effect this time...I think it worked...sort of. I then decided it would be fun to draw lots of small, thin, lines......um yeah, that was all fun until I started to go cross-eyed. The Coach seems to be rolling his eyes at me a lot lately but I don't mind, it's nice to be doing something again that gave me such pleasure when I was younger.

Thanks again to Kirsty for hosting My Creative Space which encourages me to take some time out and get creative.

  5. Thanks for the encouragement. Next time The Coach rolls his eyes I shall melodramatically holler (in an Eastern European accent for good measure)"You know nothing....nothing".

  26. I love this one! Did you know Boy 1's thing is Dragonflies? Dr Lyn was bestowed a few for Chrissie last year. I think it suits him to a T!

    Dragonfly is the power of light. The dragonfly inhabits two realms: air and water and the influence of both these elements will be felt by Dragonfly people. They will be emotional and passionate during their early years (the influence of water) and more balanced with greater mental clarity and control in as they mature (the influence of air).
