It's February Already!
Hey Everyone!
How are you all?
I can't believe it is February already! We have lots of ideas and things planned for this month and of course the loved (or dreaded) Valentine's Day 💕 Share you ideas with us too!
So, as a Community shall we just share a few of our loves and WIP (work-in-progress)? What are you creating, what are you doodling or drawing, sketching or painting, colouring or collaging?
I am still learning my water mixable oils, and have finally decided on what my bog canvas will be used for. It takes time to choose but with oil I can change my mind, with my watercolour I neeed to be fixed as it is very difficult to change once started.
Or are you a crochet or knitter?
Let's find out more and remember to share what only the 'Arts and Crafts' Community covers please!

@MistyMagic Currently I've been working on this
It's supposed to be an underwater adventure thing with a train 😅 but it's not been going as well as I'd hoped 😕
@mytwistedsoul
Show me more! Sounds cool :)
@IchooseLife79 They're a little tedious at times and some of the stuff is so small 😅
This the the first one I did it's supposed to be Diagon alley from Harry Potter
This is just a magic shop diarama
@mytwistedsoul Thanks for sharing, is that going to be submerged in water?

I will be working on another 3d pen project this weekend. Looking forward to it. Fighting covid but I will persevere!
@IchooseLife79 Those are fascinating, I looked at a 3D printer and that gave me so many ideas.
And Yayyyy its Friyayyyyyyy
time to make things!

@IchooseLife79 Hope you feel better soon!
@MistyMagic I´m a habitual project hopper, i never finish anything. I have an entire parade of projects that i´m working on and at least 5 of them are in an active status (= i worked on them recently and actively work towards finishing them). I am right now drawing my mom´s friend´s dog as my primary project, but i have a lot of other things going on too.
@sadcat13 I can go shopping with that. It means there is always something to do? And with painting especially it can need time between coats and glazes too.
@MistyMagic nahh I'm just a chronic procrastinator with ADHD so I can't stick to something and it takes a few returns to the thing to get it done
@MistyMagic Am trying to ignore the Valentine's Day hype as much as I can. It's irritating as h*ll. If it's not obvious by now, I'm not a holiday guy in general....I make few exceptions to that. They're a good excuse to kick back & maybe have a couple drinks, but that's the only good thing about them.
@slowdecline48
February 15th, a great day to go candy shopping. hehehe
@slowdecline48 @Sadcat13 and @iChooseLife79 shall we try an art piece then that is called February 15th ? Any suggestions?

@MistyMagic
A broken heart made of candy? Then we could pig out and eat it all!
@MistyMagic i would never finish it 😂
I do have an old sketch that would be perfect for Valentine's, but if I posted it here...it wouldn't last 10 minutes. 😆
@slowdecline48 just call me Jeannie lol
Barbara Eden was so cute on that show...
I only know about it because of reruns. First saw episodes during my teenage years, so of course Jeannie had a starring role in my fantasies for a while 😄
Love everyone's projects, the underwater bus light is so awesome and the little dioramas or whatever they epically are...amazing.
Finished this inspiration board a couple days ago.
They weren't kidding when they said things are a process though. Feel I've been working on this for two lifetimes: Finding magazines, finding time, putting it up, taking it down, putting it away, moving it, hiding it, throwing away all the pictures and starting again, finding different magazines, finding push-pins, not using those push-pins, etc. ad nauseum.
Reminding myself it's a work in progress like life may stave off any imminent aneurisms...
@communicativePond1728
This looks awesome. What does the top right picture say?
@IchooseLife79
Thanks 👍 It says-
"all feelings are valid
(the messy ones too)
(really)"
@MistyMagic I present you, the Christmas tablecloth that I planned to be ready with for Christmas. I'm done by like half of it but oh well 😂
@sadcat13
Awesome! It will be done by this Christmas though. ;)
@sadcat13
Cat, this is indeed a lovely one!
@sadcat13 awesome textile work. An heirloom for sure. Thanks for sharing here 🏆
@sadcat13 Is this needlepoint? It's amazing!
@mytwistedsoul yessss, cross-stitch technique where each point consists of two stitches forming an x 😊 Gonna be a tablecloth once 😊
@sadcat13 It looks so pretty! It will definitely dress up the table at Christmas!
@mytwistedsoul yesss. It will be a gift for my grandma when it is ready and if all goes well should be a series of 4, one for each season 😊
@sadcat13
Oh that's a wonderful idea
@sadcat13 Aww that's so sweet! I bet your grandma will love it! One for each season is such a nice idea too!
@MistyMagic wow I like your painting. It’s so cool
