Art or doodle

-

Love colour love drawing love a doodle 

Yes you guessed it I love to draw 

I take my hat off if you can draw and paint you are a talented person. I did do some painting my self  do have a love of flowers and so painted quite a few . Everyone has a style and so many brilliant artists I follow a few on Facebook Susie Lidstone her work is beautiful well worth a look   dhttps://www.facebook.com/Susie-Lidstone-158274010855854/  I made a pendant for her with her gorgeous picture of sunflowers amazing . 


When I was younger and lived at home I painted a mural on the wall crazy girl with lots of hair very bright talking 70s flower power that's me .I can remember wanting a Spirograph for Christmas loved it.

I haven't done any painting in a while as I now make sock monkeys that was years ago ! My only claim to fame of being an artist was a picture I sold on my little stall at Botany Bay for £50 did sell others but that's the most I ever got for one . I often wonder if they still have it was a large canvas of sunflowers and a little house in the distance . Think I wanted to live in that house.
Heres the picture ( photo I took at the time ) with some other pictures you can be very cynical of your own work .
Drawings 

I had a short spell of designing cards still make all the tags for my monkeys my logos a doodle that I did on my iPad ( drawing desk app) then I scale to size on my laptop and print can also add names . Did make some Valentine cards with the design valentines just gone this year .

I'm thinking of buying a wacom drawing tablet don't really know a lot about them they connect to your PC and you can create designs but I like the idea .

Funny but I still like to draw even though I don't think I'm good enough did a few back ground pictures when I made bag charms to make them interesting really had great fun ! pics above. Everyone should draw 😊

Have a go at zentangle that's just amazing shapes in shapes I'm in a group on Facebook taking doodling to another level . the adult colouring books love them not that I have time to colour but very therapeutic so if you can't draw get one of these do some colouring in .




The reason I'm telling you this I have been doodling a lot recently putting the pics on Instagram and generally  playing on my iPad even little joes been playing to there's a kids doodle on it fab .
Drawing desk on iPad app

Still haven't quite found my true vocation haha and time going on they say you go backwards may be true I'm still a little girl .
Serously not sure where my creative talents is taking me wish I had done something earlier in life . I have done lots of things like hairdressing when I left school , then worked in shoes for a long time did the window displays .love doing the DIY as you know and of corse making my monkeys lots of other crafty things .
But now thinking maybe something else so may take a few courses your never to old to learn .

Hello Well I had a walk the other day ! I am only a small distance away from where I lived as a girl and my hubby lived just in the next street when we was courting but that’s another story. I had to go to the post office with a parcel bit of a walk not sure they like their jobs as they never look happy, I always thought you greeted customers with a smile well that’s how it was when I worked in a shop but that’s another story. Walking back my leg was aching but had to go to doctors not for my leg they said that it could be osteoporosis just gave me pain killers to go with the high blood presser not good but that’s another story. I decided to walk by where I lived as a girl I remember playing handstands on the wall the houses where quite new when we moved in, my friend Jackie broke her collar bone doing a handstand but that’s another story. No 18 remember it well had my own bedroom lucky me ! Loved art and painted a mural on the wall it was a girls face with crazy hair it’s stil...

But no body wants to lose a case!  But the funny thing is The flight seemed long and the plain was packed, only one other guy got on the coach to the airport and mick noticed his case was very much like his.

They now have them silly machines to read your passport and they wasn’t working very well so took longer.  Then we went straight to pick the cases up! Where wa...
