AJ, I did it with coloured pencils - with VERY sharp points ! The birds I learned from my mom. My dad once bought her a very nice painting for the living room - colors perfectly matched the furniture etc, but my mom thought it was a bit boring, so, with a fine black marker, she bravely sketched in some birds, just like mine -- 2 little strokes for each bird. It made all the difference in the world!
snafu, all of it is done with coloured pencils - but stitching would have been a great idea!
Our lives are like a patchwork quilt; a work of art by a Master Designer. Life is made up of joys and sorrows; good times and bad; excitement and the daily grind. The underside of the 'quilt of life' seems to have little or no design, but the finished product is truly a masterpiece, and is the joy of the Creator.
Here is a place for me to share the 'patches' that make up my life. it may not look too great right now -- but I trust the One who is "working all things together for good" in it, will be pleased with the end result!
I am 72 years old. When I was a child, I was told by my art teacher in primary school that I would never be able to draw - so for 60 years I never tried!
Thanks to some great encouragement from my sister, a number of years ago, I actually tried - and discovered that I actually do have a bit of talent.
Art is a work of creation, that we inherited from our Creator. It is in our DNA in one form or another. I don't do as much as I would like to, but I will post my attempts, from time to time.
Over 100 incredible missionary stories from around the world. Read about their lives, their challenges, their joys and heartaches, victories and defeats! You'll laugh, cry, pray --and you may even be changed!
Don't be so hard on yourself, Kaybee! This is not messy! It is very jolly and organized, just like a border ahould be!mwell done!
ReplyDeleteI assume you crayoned it? To get that much crayon detail into a square inch is VERY difficult (see my first attempt this week - I know)
ReplyDeleteThose birds must be absolutely tiny! I love it.
Teachers can really wreck your confidence sometimes. SILLY teacher!
I like the view through the little window, not messy at all. Is the border painted or stitched?
ReplyDeleteThanks rt - appreciate your encouragement!
