One of my goals for 2022: Crafting – a wonderful tool to keep the creative juices flowing. You’ve seen me post pics of a bit of the needlework I do and the wee garden I keep, but it’s time to expand – force the creative juices to flow in different directions. Don’t get me wrong, writing is my number one creative endeavor and remains number one.
The more crafting I do, the more creative I am, the more I write. This is a fact – for me. What about you?
I found this book, Everyday Watercolor by Jenna Rainy. She says I can learn the basics in 30 days. So, this is my March creative challenge. What will I do on day 31? Not sure. Maybe I’ll burn the evidence of my lack of painting skills.
In the meantime, here’s my latest needlework.

Slowly I turn to the shelf behind me and look at my 22 books about watercolor. My eyes scan the shelves of currently unused art supplies (drawing and w/c): unused paints, brushes, paper, pads, blocks, and sketchbooks. A pall of guilt taps gently on my mind. Deep sigh. Let me know how it goes, Kathrine. 🙂
Whoa, watercolour is an interesting medium, but the research I’ve done has only resulted in exorbitant prices for ONE tube of colour. So I guess I’ll stick to doodling with pen and ink. Visual pursuits are a great addition to the creative life!
