Misty's Hobby Journal!

@EmbStitcher33 my holiday got cancelled at the last minute so all my preparations went to waste, but hopefully next year I can plan again :) Hope you are well!

So we are having heavy frost and ice here and I left one of my spider plant pots outside and half of it froze, I have brought it inside and trimmed it back but does anyone have any ideas on how to save it?

Listening - One Step At A Time!

@MistyMagic Sorry to intrude. It should be ok and bounce back as long as it didn't freeze the whole way :)

@mytwistedsoul no intrusion at all, it's lovely to have your post here, thanks so much for that, there are a few small leaves that are recovering now too :)

@MistyMagic Hey that's great! I'm glad it's making a come back :) They're pretty resilient plants

Using toned paper instead of plain white?
Have you tried using toned beige or grey paper instead of white?

I just got my first grey-toned sketchbook.

Oh My! It is a treasure!

I am in love and can't figure out why I never got one before!

I opted for a thicker paper so 200gsm and not the 150 I usually have for small sketchbooks and 300 I paint on, it is so smooth and my pencils glide over it with a smile as if they are happy too! So far I have only tried doodles and swatches and blends to see how things will work but I am so pleased with the result.

<~~~~~~~ Happy Misty!

@MistyMagic

Where did you get it. I'm starting a program online to start sketching. I'm doing it mainly to help me make designs for embroidery. I think a gray toned paper would be easier on my eyes. I think I'd like to get a pad of this. So let me know where you found yours. 😊

Share what you're doing if you feel comfortable doing that. Might inspire me. ☺️

I found it at the amazin ! online store , dearcg grey toned sketchbook, and then gecko bur there are many, 200gsm grey toned smooth

So January hits and hobbies have slowed down, but I was lucky to get some new hobby supplies and have been trying them out.

What have you been doing hobby-wise? I have been trying to paint some really interesting orchids of a very delicate pink, very hard to do.

My sketching has improved massively with using the grey toned paper and now I have a whole set of paper burnishers.

@MistyMagic Wow! This is phenomenal!!! ♡

@YourCaringConfidant Thanks for visiting, do you have a hobby, do you paint or draw?

Listening - One Step At A Time!

@MistyMagic I have plenty of hobbies. :) I like making crafts using my cricut. I love to color in my adult coloring books, make cute shadowboxes, journal, play with stickers, etc. I used to draw when I was a kid/teen but do not draw anymore and I have tried painting but it is just for fun with the kids. Lol.

@YourCaringConfidant Sounds to me like you might like to create your own Hobby Journal?

@MistyMagic Oh, what a beautiful painting! I wish I could view it IRL so that I can see it shimmer and shine. Thank you for sharing it with us!

@purplelady568 Yes it does shine a lot especially in the sun as if the daisies love the light lol!
