Colour really does create joy for me. I am also discovering new mediums to play with . The past couple of weeks I have had so much fun with ink brush pens. They are so lovely to use and just glide onto the page. I only have a limited choice of colours but it is still fun.
The pages seemed a bit flat so I used some gel pens to add some texture with dots and lines etc. Whatever took my fancy.
I am not putting any pressure on myself and have taken a leaf out of my grandsons' book....learning while playing. I am teaching myself how brushes, pencils, pens etc work in different ways. I am learning how colours work or don't work together. For my recent birthday I bought myself some Derwent Inktense pencils I have been eyeing off for some time using some birthday money I was given. This afternoon I tried them out for the first time in my best colouring book after swatching them yesterday.
LOVE THEM!
Hmm, maybe I should have bought a larger set. I bought a set of 24 but it looks like I shall be now buying some single ones lol.
I finally finished another book and think I forgot to mention it last time. I haven't read very much at all this year which is another thing I am trying to get back into.
I hope my new found craft has not deterred you from my blog. I shall get back to some crochet and cross stitch sometime but I can't see myself doing patchwork and quilting anymore.
Whatever craftiness you find, may it bring you pleasure, peace and joy.
