Misty's Hobby Journal!

I also wrote a poem to go with it. I like poetry but not sure if it is a hobby although I used to write a lot!

Oh woww I also do poetry it's my hobby also. Can you post your poetry I will love to read 🌸. I know you will do just great like your painting it's amazing 🌸🙌

@NoneTheWiser Thanks so much, but I am really just learning and fascinated by the effects some techniques that watercolor can achieve.

So Are you going to start a Hobby Journal then?

@NoneTheWiser ooooh sketching, now that is something I am working on. I find that when I am still thinking about work I can't read, but I can sketch and it is actually something that can be learnt!

What did you sketch?

@MistyMagic

Beautiful!!!

I really like your art! 👌

this is the next project I want to paint but it is so hard to paint such a pale color in watercolor, and its very hard to paint such a dark background too, so a real challenge!

@MistyMagic You got thissss❤

@MistyMagic

What about being brave and changing mediums? Go for it! You got this! Oil on canvas could achieve your desired results with rich color. 😊 Also, what about creating it out of clay and then painting your 3D creation? It could turn out beautifully? If so, you could purchase a glass cloche' to cover it with and proudly display it in your home.

@SparkyGizmo Thanks for the ideas, I have used acrylics that easily take this task but the beauty is watercolor and the way the pigment moves. Would love to see you start a Hobby Journal here and share with us?

@MistyMagic

Wow! Thank you for the invitation! That was very kind of you to include me 😊❤️ I just bookmarked this page with the link you provided above to try to figure out how to do it. I'll definitely think about it!

Some of my hobbies are interior design, cooking, organization for the home (lots of tips and tricks for that/life "hacks"). I also enjoy finding pieces of furniture, history.....transforming them, elevating them, re- purposing them, etc. to create unique show pieces for the home that could also have a dual purpose for organizing. I also like music, most people do. Nothing earth shattering about that one, lol.

Again, thank you for the invitation. *high fives* 😊 and *hugs* ❤️

@SparkyGizmo Let me know if you want any help? I could always start one for you, and link it so you can find it? or go through how to?

@MistyMagic

❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for offering to help me! I must say, navigating the forum area isn't my forte', even though I love being here and responding, supporting, interacting, connecting, etc. I love feeling a sense of community, community building and relationship building in this area of the platform as well as all of the others. If I can simply be helpful to others then I'm happy. 😊

I haven't quite mastered this area and likely may not ever do so. Having said that, I could use all of the help I can get, that's for sure! lol😊 Maybe it's something I can work on in the future.

I guess I'll first reach inside myself and really think about if what I would have to offer would be of an value to others?

*high fives* 😊 and *hugs* ❤️

@MistyMagic

Definitely looks like you are challenging yourself, I hope you will enjoy the process as much as the product!

@MistyMagic

That's a pretty flower, Misty. Your post kind of reminds me of a certain scene in season 3 episode 8 of "Never Have I Ever" where Margot, the art tutor, tells Ben to give meaning to his art, to express himself through the fruit that was in front of him (a pear) and to connect emotionally with it.

you can do it Misty!! maybe paint the back first and let it completely dry....

@EmbStitcher33 yes maybe I will use masking gum over the flower first and then paint the background

@MistyMagic

@MistyMagic

Yay! Thank you for sharing this here! If a pictures worth a thousand words, I wonder if it's fair to say a poem paints a thousand pictures.

@MistyMagic

I love your poem about daisies...made me think of the black eyed susans that we had growing here this summer season. Same thing would apply as daisies. Thank you so much for posting...very meaningful, appropriately symbolic.

It's beautiful! 😍

@Helpingheart23 Thank-you! It's a WIP, work in progress lol, I am up to 5 glazes now!

@MistyMagic

You've got the Fall colors well represented. I like how you've got the Sun still shining in.

The leaf on the bottom with more green is like the leaf is trying to hang on to summer a little bit longer.

Very nice Misty.

@MistyMagic

Wow. This is so amazing. The colours are so luminescent. So eye catching. It's just how I always think, and want to remember, autumn leaves. Thank you.

You, and a few other posters here are inspiring me to think about picking up art again.

@MistyMagic

How's it going? Any new pictures?

Looking forward to seeing what you post next. 😊

Well, I am getting ready for winter now. The garden is dropping leaves and wilting stems and needs a lot of clearing away. But the leaves I allow to mellow down into a mulch that I will hopefully use next year. The local wild flock of Canadian geese have flown away and what a sight they were all in a brilliant Vee and the noise was crazy, I wish them luck on their long journey. Maybe someone on here will have the geese for a warmer time.

Plans for a new greenhouse too! With raised beds so I don't have to bend down and so the plants get the best light too.

Lots more time for things like:-

Knitting WIP- a new bobble hat to cover my ears lol!

Sketching - I am practicing with matt graphite pencils

Watercolor - I am running out of paper!

What about all of you?

@MistyMagic

I saw you're taking a holiday. I hope you can take your hobbies with you. I'm working on holiday stitch outs and some others that are just plain fun to stitch. I'll have some new ones up on my thread in a few days or so.

Hope you have a good rest. You deserve it. Thank you for all you do here on 7Cups. 😊
