Those prompts look really interesting and I love your folks. I particularly like in your picture the shadow that they cast

That’s just bad photography! :rofl:

Thanks!

I don’t have a strong opinion but I’d probably have 2 ongoing threads - one for the art journal zooms and one for general paper and mixed media craft along.

Thanks, I agree!

I just discovered that the paper I was gessoing will have unintended paw prints on it. :sweat_smile:

For you more experienced crafting-with-cats folks, is this something the cat can safely clean up in her own grooming if it bothers her (clearly it doesn’t bother her right now), or should I put on the protective gear and attempt to (gently) scrub it off?

I would try to get it off using a washcloth soaked in warm water while it’s still fresh.

I lean toward yearly threads just to keep them from getting unwieldy, but it seems like the prevailing instinct has been to put everything in one thread, and I’m totally fine with that. Because so much of 2021 is in the 2020 thread, I think we should at least combine those two years into one place.

I agree with Jenn about keeping the dedicated art journal Zoom thread.

I like each year in its own thread but agree the covid years can stay together. Cross posting links in the paper craftalong re zoom invites as well as finished work is a nice way to link the two while still keeping them separate.

I agree with these suggestions too. One thread for general mixed media and one for the art journal zooms. I also would like years to have their own thread in general, but combining 2020+2021 does make sense, since they’re already a blur …

@Smmarrt your paper dolls are fantastic - so much character!
