Convention time is near!
‘God’s Word Is Truth!’ Convention.
That page has a link to find the one nearest to your location.
All conventions are free of charge and no collections plates or bags will be passed.
Our convention is less than three weeks away! I love the conventions, they are my favorite week of the year!
I need to get the bookmarks photographed. And then I will do a 'brag book'.
Also, someone emailed me about art work and how it can be hard when there is a block to making anything. I figured that what I replied is basic knowledge but not always read by artists, so I fell that I can post that advice for any artist, that is having a hard time working their craft.
If for some reason you feel you have not got a bit of art in your litle finget's finger nail then the advie is also for you.
Here is the reply, pretty much word for word.
It started about my envelope art work
A way to draw when blanking is start
on some scrap paper, a very small sheet, so you have to go to the envelope
quickly. Start drawing anything. Don't worry if it is perfect, you are just
getting juices flowing.
And then grab envelope and start
drawing, make yourself draw in ink, so you cannot erase it.
If you want to time yourself, go for
it, says like 10 minutes, as soon as the bell rings, drop the pen and let
the envelope rest.
Then use that as your first
art project, either keep it, how ever you save your art
work, you want to save, or use it for a swap, not even ai art swap
but when you are sending a just a letter i or a tea bag or a postcard.
I
drew a happy monster farmer the other day. in the background I needed a house
and I drew it crooked, I thought I need to get that straight, then I realized a
lot of art is just like that, crooked houses, farmers that are happy monsters,
and so on. Nothing is rules when it comes to your fingers and hands
and your art work.

hen
you get done, please share with me. And I was one that beat myself up for not
making the perfect line, circle, square and so one. I still get frustrated when
I try to tangle art and I mix a line where it shouldn't be. If you do not
have a boss that says what you need to draw and how to draw it, then the
world of art is endless for you.
the
art others love, because your heart drew it more than the
controlled ind did.
Making yourself do better it good,
but beating yourself up for minor or even major 'mistakes' in your art is not
good. Sometimes those are a way our personality is screaming to get on the
paper. And those are usually
the art others love, because
your heart drew it more than the controlled mind did.
Ok I think I could blab on and on. I
talk more than draw. LOL. My favorite thing to talk about is Jehovah God
and all his love and the ways he shows that lobe and I know my art is because
of that love, he put the love of colors and design in us, no other
creature likes to get reds mixed with purples or lines going this way and
then that way. They may make a beautiful home, but that is totally
ingrained and they have no notion about beauty.
We can see how he knows
art and lines by the way flowers, seashells and the stars form patterns.
Here is some of my paper art.
Two of the bookmarks I drew and one is part crocheted.
The upper one is for a swap. The lower one I made about 18 months ago.
I will find some person that wants it and will change its oil,so to speak, in other words not just trash it.
Here are some of the crocheted ones.
I have to study for the meeting tonight, so my blog writing is done for today.
