Ahh that's really cute @Francis_theythem How did you learn to do string art?

Grinchy

Hey @Francis_theythem, that looks really good, looks a bit complicated, but very cool

Francis_theythem

@Grinchy Mm I can't really draw much/very well so I like other mediums. I've been trying to find some thing that works for me but everything I tried was too high energy and daunting. String art basically you have an outline and then you stick pins in paper or canvas and tie the string to one pin and wind it round the others. Maybe more complicated than just drawing but it works for me? I don't find it that complicated, just a little fiddly.

@Cher_Scope after I found out about it I read about how to do it and I just tried working it out on my own. Someone telling you exactly what to do kind of disrupts the creation process, I find.

I agree they look really good @bect93 Try not to get too down about your sales, these things can sometimes take time. I especially like the one with the stars

Ooh that’s sooo hard @Tori_Scope!!! I love Burn I know every word to it. Right hand man is pretty awesome. Love the cabinet battles too ??? Why can’t our politics be like that. Ooh and we know is brilliant too. Haha what about you? 

Tori_Scope

Good choices. I can't say I know Hamilton that well, but Satisfied is a classic belter too I think @bect93!

We have an Art Workshop in our village where I go to an Oils class once a week.  My hands and brush control are limited by my MS but helps with a 'loose' 'impressionistic' approach.  I love to go so I can 'zone-out' and just focus on what I love. 

Love your textures. How did you do them?

Tori_Scope

I love the cat @MrCat!
