Thanks for all the links! Knitting looks complicated. I'm thinking of looking into classes for beginners. I'll have to see how much they cost. For now...I'm working on drawing (I sketched the alarm clock last night...I'm actually not as bad at drawing as I thought...hubby taught me a technique). I'm also gonna do some stencil painting and abstract stuff. I am doing this theme thing for Purim, a Jewish holiday, called "growth". I bought 35 paper bags in hot pink and I'm gonna buy the grass stuff to put at the bottom. Food will also go in the bag...nuts, seeds, fruits, etc. I want to paint flowers and water cans on the outside of the bags. I have flowers in mind and I bought stencils in case the free hand painting doesn't look the way I want. And I plan to search on-line to find watering cans I can use to paint small ones on the bag. I'm really excited about this!
Please keep the suggestions coming! Casey, I haven't gotten to look at the collage links yet...just the knitting ones. I'll keep you posted. Tina...what an AWESOME painting for your wall! I wonder if I could make something so AWESOME?! Ptillen--I can't sing cause my throat hurts! It's part of my fibro symptoms. It's not that someone is telling me I can't sing.....I think it's great you are helping out your fibro friend in choir. You're a gem!
Ok...off to read more in this thread. Thanks so much for all the responses!
