Where can I attend link.

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

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.
