Epic! So beautiful. Do you get to keep this one for yourself?

I haven’t decided what I’ll do with it yet. I can’t leave anything made of yarn out where our lovely team mascot can reach it. He eats yarn, but not skeins… just actual projects. So I would only be able to have it out when using it. Otherwise it would have to be locked in the closet or put in a tote. I love Monkey, but his pica drives me insane.

@storerboughtcreation – That blanket is incredible. I can’t even image the work that went into it. Crazy! I have heard about cats who chew on stuff. That would be super frustrating and worrisome!
@Lynx – Beautiful artwork. I love the use of the new technique.
@roler – What a high-energy card!

Project Name: 1st attempt at Watercolor
Project Link: Learning to Watercolor #1 2022 Goal
Brief Description: Well, as we can see, I am not that good at watercolor. It alludes me. I love the way it looks, but I am way too controlled when I do art to just relax and let it flow. One goal this year is to keep at it and stop quitting because it is hard. This is attempt #1. Hopefully, many more, improved, pieces will follow.

I have no idea what you mean! How are you not good at watercolor?!?! This looks great. Maybe it’s not what you imagined the final piece to be, but it’s amaze balls.

I agree!
I like it! Snowman themed things are fun because you can keep them out all winter.
I have a diamond art piece to work on. I bought it last year when a couple of my students convinced me to give it a try. I haven’t unwrapped it yet! I need to get some containers to hold the little gems, first.

Mine came with everything I needed… except enough little plastic zippy bags to hold the opened sleeves of gems. I found a plastic storage box at the Dollar Tree that I used to hold the rest in. It worked ok, but not the best. I had a lot of fun, and I’d like to do another soon!

I saw that Harbor Freight has a bin with 25 (I think) snap shut little boxes, so as soon as the weather does not include frozen, slippery roads, I’m heading down to check them out. I probably cold have gone this afternoon, but I had a task to complete and didn’t want to get side-tracked! Monday after work might be safe enough

Prompt: Research Project
Team: Bits and Bobs
Project Name: Drawing/Copic practice
Project Link: N/A
Brief Description: Instead of working on other more pressing things ( 
), I have been spending pretty much all of my free time practicing with my markers. It’s fun and discouraging all at the same time! 
Since I’m deep in the learning phase, and I’ve been doing it 2-4 hours every day, I thought it would make a good research project. I think I’m starting to hone in on what works for me, and what I like for my aesthetic. I don’t really want to share all of these, because I feel embarrassed how some of them turned out, and I also know it’s part of the process, and I’m supposed to suck at it because I haven’t done it before, so I’m just embracing it. Most of them were done using reference photos I found online, and a couple were from my brain (which is my goal for the next phase).

Brief Description: One of the members of my DnD game has a pocket mouse, so I made him a little crocheted mouse. I’ve made this pattern before, and probably will again. He’s so cute! And he stands up (hence shower) on his own.
