evening all, I forgot to mention our lotto syndicate won Ā£700 last week so I had a little wndfall of Ā£65, treated myself to some Rembrandt pastels (they were recommended by someone who uses them professionally!) just arrived in the ppost canā€™t wait to give them a whirl :art:

loving the owl Hazel.

Your Robin and crocus print is fab Matt

love the new salt clingfilm style Brenda, very pretty

Very cross looking owl Hazel, I love the way youā€™ve done the feathers.

Well done on the lottery win Max, enjoy your Rembrandt pastels! :smile:

Yes he is Margaret lol itā€™s really hard to get the face right ā€¦ I think heā€™s a bit grumpy he had his face wiped off a couple off times !!!

Well done on the win Max - enjoy your pastels - nice to have a treat :slight_smile:

Morning Everyone what are you up to today?

Whoā€™s got some new art to show?

This thread needs some chat ā€¦

Iā€™ve had a new commission - a associate of hubbies has asked me to paint two of my silhouette style pieces to give as Christmas gifts ā€¦ Iā€™m not painting them today but soon :slight_smile:

Iā€™m off to run some errands and go to the post office, still no sales from folksy sadley !!!

Catch up with you all later

Hazel

This thread does need livening up a bit! Iā€™ll see if I can photograph how Iā€™m doing with my sewing and show you that. Iā€™ve got several on the go at the moment.

Thatā€™s great Margaret and yes we need livening up I think so too :slight_smile:

Iā€™ll show my Rainbow Tree of Life ACEO ā€¦ is bright and colourful thats for sure :smile:

Brenda thatā€™s wonderful, it really does look like itā€™s snowing - thatā€™s not easy to achieve!

Pretty tree Hazel.

Margaret itā€™d be lovely to see your sewing progress.

Weā€™re on half term here so Iā€™m out and about quite a bit. Iā€™m starting to feel like I need to paint something though, not had the paints out since Friday! Iā€™ve been rather headachy the last few days, hope I can shake it off soon, I donā€™t like taking meds but think Iā€™ll have to have something to help get rid.

Meanwhile, Iā€™ve launched a gift ideas pinned post on facebook, do please add any of yours to it here https://www.facebook.com/StephanieGuyFineArt/photos/a.140297826181352.1073741829.139499142927887/295353674009099/?type=1&theater

And Iā€™ve finally got round to taking proper photos of my robins and have listed the first one

Stephie, that is lovelyā€¦the eye is really brilliant tooā€¦
the snow in my scene was just splattered but you have to use white gouache or acrylic or it doesnā€™t show up properlyā€¦
I watched a Joanne Boon Thomas dvd at the weekend ā€¦I love her workā€¦and I nearly fell off my chair when I saw how cruel she was to her paint brushes !!! She almost squashes them into the paper.!! I think I must be far too gentleā€¦lol

Love the snow scene Brenda

Fab robin Stephie and I have the gift idea on FB is nice - I have now commented again thank you :slight_smile:

And Yay Iā€™ve had a folksy sale :slight_smile:
Nothing to do with folksy though, itā€™s a miniaturist via facebook as I promoted my rose this morning and it sold. A lovely lady who helped us with lighting when we originally built my Gallery so that was nice :slight_smile:

Congratulations on the sale, Hazel!
Waving to everyone! :smile:
Iā€™m trying to work on loads of projects at the moment and donā€™t seem to be able to get onto the thread, paint, sew and knit simultaneously, so sorry that I have been absent recently!!
Hereā€™s a new one from me, in a more contemporary styleā€¦

I wish I had loads of stock ready, Brenda! Iā€™m hoping that Iā€™ll have a bit more time next week and will be able to have a few little paintings to list by then. I donā€™t know where the time is going to at the moment! :slight_smile:

This is a very Christmassy thread today! Love the snowy scene Brenda, the robin is fab Stephie and Pam, thatā€™s a very pretty scene.

As promised, hereā€™s how some of my needlework is getting on. Iā€™m not showing my poppy tapestry today, it should be finished soon and Iā€™ll show it then. Hereā€™s my cat, getting some foliage and flowers around his head

Iā€™m also doing a small long stitch piece which fits the Christmassy theme nicely :smile:

Progress on everything is slow with working and doing stuff for the parents, but I do love my stitching!
