Yes some fantastic patterns, interestingly a couple were based around flowers I had in the garden last year!

I don't know how I missed this but wow, that's lovely and seriously impressive! 

 

The hands will look cool next to each other.

I used to make beaded jewelry but have fallen away from it. I hope to get back into it this fall.

I love rolling paper beads. Haven't made anything with them yet

I had a lovely time reading through this thread - so much talent in this forum!

I've been trying to find something creative to do in my own time - I'm very cerebral so doing something that takes me out of my mind and away from my inner self-criticism is important for me. I've recently joined an orchestra (I play the violin) which is very much focused on having fun, which I've been enjoying. There is something quite powerful about sharing music with others.

 

If anyone has any other suggestions, do let me know!

[Madeleine]

The orchestra sounds lovely,I joined a choir last autumn - I'm not much of a singer (to put it mildly) but it's very inclusive which is just as well!  Our Christmas performances were great, we're now working on summer stuff including Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen) and Adiemus which is very tricky!

 

I also went to a short crochet for beginners workshop with a friend, I did crochet years ago at school so am trying to pick it up again, not going well so far though, trying to master a couple of types of stitch before tackling anything.

 

Good luck with the orchestra!

Here are my first attempts at paint pouring/fluid art etc, sorry about the quality of the photos.

What a beauty! I really love your colors! 🤩

[Madeleine]

Thank you, I've got another kit to do, with different colours,hope to do that one in the garden on Friday, before it starts raining again!

[Hayley]

They’re pretty @Madeleine! The top one’s colours remind me of the seaside and the bottom of sunsets 😄

[Madeleine]

Thank you, I've done a couple more, pics to follow once they're dry, they take forever to dry....I did have them outside drying but it was too windy so I worried they might blow away!

I can't wait to see those photos!

[Madeleine]

Here they are, think I overdid the blue and yellow one by adding a bit more, hence the squiggly lines which sort of zigzag across it.

Oh, I definitely prefer the second painting; it's amazing! But why don't you try working on bigger canvases? 

[Madeleine]

Don't really have the space to do bigger canvasses, just experimenting at the moment.
