I've not had it out for some time but I can hear it calling from the cupboard to get out. <br /><br />You have made a very wise decision to change to "YouChoose" Tuesday because "The important things in life aren't things".<br /><br />Thank you for the tip also on shading really helped.<br />Kind regards<br />JacquelineAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07036358914691889171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-80544746104841648872015-08-19T19:50:48.817+01:002015-08-19T19:50:48.817+01:00Please do!

With great humility, and in case it's of any use to anyone else as a "visual demonstration 101" to complement the written ones already given, I've popped a picture on my blog: <a rel="nofollow">http://myworldofcraft.blogspot.com/2015/08/shading-with-spectrum-noir-pencils.html</a>.

Just had my breakfast, thought if I stayed in bed longer it might rest my body so I can have a bit of crafting time later - a go at shading and working out Groovi designs for my brother and his wife's birthday cards. So going to get moving and hopefully I won't feel any more ill than I feel just now. I'm sure you know those days, when you wake up feeling extra ill but not sure what path it's going to take with your body until you actually start doing things. xxBrenda Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17319199253488833078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-51328824945840894672015-08-19T12:36:28.577+01:002015-08-19T12:36:28.577+01:00Brilliant Barbara, I think I do it wrong too, doin...Brilliant Barbara, I think I do it wrong too, doing it in bits you don't get it perfect, so I'm looking forward to a club step by step on it too, Thank you sooooo much xxBrenda Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17319199253488833078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-17040796753005459092015-08-19T12:26:05.025+01:002015-08-19T12:26:05.025+01:00Barbara, I think you and Dave are doing exactly th...Barbara, I think you and Dave are doing exactly the right thing, to be honest I don't know how you fitted everything in a day that you used to. I'm so glad to hear that Dave's on the mend and am sure it will continue.<br /><br />I love your abstract print, you've opened a whole new way to approach art and printing that makes we want to get printing myself. Recently when sorting through Mum's things I found all my A level art work, I was never very confident but now I look at it and think did I really do that ( not being big headed though). This year has been difficult but I've found that it calms me so much to do some art as well as appreciated other peoples. Mum always had a great belief in me and even a few weeks before shed died we talked about it and now she is my reason for spending time on my art as I feel I'm doing it for her.<br /><br />Thankyou so much for your inspiration every day and of course you must do as you please.

I have been much the same working, functioning in "over drive mode" trying to cope with my partner having had a serious ankle injury, and cellulitis. He is such an active man and yet over the last month unable to do anything apart from sitting in the chair with his leg up. On the good point - he will get better. <br /><br />I am so pleased that I have my craft to take my mind off the stress. He is self-employed so thats a problem. But we live in a beautiful log cabin, we have food from the garden, and each other. <br /><br />A this time it makes one realize what is important in life and that is to do what your heart says. <br /><br />So with Gods help and love from friends we Will all recover. A day at a time. <br /><br />Big hugs Pen xPen Sunshinepenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15377395808480318484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-38107361243560724402015-08-19T10:39:13.888+01:002015-08-19T10:39:13.888+01:00Thanks Donna for lovely comment on my blog, just t...Thanks Donna for lovely comment on my blog, just trying to get my head around blogs so value every bit of feedback. Not that it is Barbara's league yet but early days. Glad to hear you are managing to do some crafting too, post us some pictures so we can support you too. How about a CCA blog, where we can all post pictures of our latest efforts (and where we have fallen off the wagon and purchased more goodies). We can use it to also post questions for when we go wrong and need some help.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723615957762128781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-66085174822085871622015-08-19T10:17:20.017+01:002015-08-19T10:17:20.017+01:00Hi Barbara, Good move re the workload cull !

Health is paramount, and if you are not well it affects everything and everyone around you. You are a true inspiration, and the generosity you share is awesome. Even whilst you were frantic with worry about Dave, the Retreats continued. I cannot thank you enough for your time, and I had an amazing time in Crowborough. I am so glad you have taken the decision to change to a monthly You Tube .. whatever you do it will be lovely. Take care both of you and maybe see at Port Sunlight ... but then again if you are still not 100% you could always turn to the rest of the team?

Love today's little piece of art.<br /> In a place with no brayer, no Frescos, few stencils but having the time of my life seeing what I can produce for my raft of Christmas cards (I make for all the family so need at least four different types and variations within those) with your stamps, gelli, Groovi, a few ordinary acrylics and homemade texture paste. <br />So pleased to read Dave is on the mend. <br />Bless you for all you do. ;~}Shelagh Metselaarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06521287880796226910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-47297577768946228712015-08-19T10:03:55.630+01:002015-08-19T10:03:55.630+01:00Hi Barbara, pleased Dave's feeling better.

I think you have made the correct decision about the videos too. As you say there is a wealth of information on your you tube already. It will give us time to practice various techniques anyway. Your health is more important (& Daves) than a video and everyone here will support you both no matter what you decide to do. If you feel that you have to cut out a few days of the blog then that's fine too. Love what you have done today. I love my fresco paints, but haven't tried them on my gelli plate yet so I think this is like a kick up the bum for me to get going - no excuse as I have the " ingredients". Love Alison xx<br />Ps thanks for the explanation about the shading.alimeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17590486915910442414noreply@blogger.com
