I know i have said it before, but the arts on this thread are brilliant, and the photo's @Colin123 make me feel good anyway - i love nature x

So good to see so many others who are interested in creativity!

Years ago, I trained in dance, but chose to finish and went into childcare. I still absolutely adore dance, but unfortunately with my health this wouldn't be an option anyway.

I particularly enjoy photography and designing. I have an etsy shop for digital prints and have recently created designed a Christmas card. I'll post a couple of things 😊

@scotslad

Absolutely! When I was growing up, we didn't get the Internet until I was at least 13 or 14, so I definitely think that helped with my creativity.

When we did finally get a decent computer and the Internet, I continued that by making graphics of my favourite bands etc.

CountryMimi

@Pandapaws so cute! If you don't mind me asking, what do you use?

I've only got my phone at the moment, bur saving for a laptop or possibly a tablet

Pandapaws

hi @CountryMimi it’s good to see that you’ve found something you enjoy doing. It’s also great that you have your own Etsy shop too! I used my iPad to create my artwork. I use a fantastic app called Procreate 

CountryMimi

Thank you @Pandapaws 🙂

Oh yeah, I'm familiar with Procreate!

Not available on android. But hopefully once I'm a bit more sorted I'll be able to get that laptop or iPad 😊

@scotslad

I've yet to make a success of it 🙈 I've actually just sent a message to family and friends to try and encourage sales.

I agree, it does shock me some of the prices! 

Pandapaws

@scotslad just to clarify that I don’t sell any of my artwork, and I don’t have an Etsy shop as I know I can’t do that due to benefits like you’ve said. I do my art as part of my therapy and also get pleasure from gifting some of my art to friends 

CountryMimi

@scotslad this is amazing!!!

Pandapaws

@scotslad that’s a beautiful owl, I’m sure your mum will love it. With regards to the DWP, I agree with what you said, a lot of the time they like to pick in easy targets.

I’ll try to post a photo of my other disability support dog Scout but she has cancer again so a bit emotional painting her atm we all live together on our houseboat on the river. Yes it gets cold  

What art do you make? Can I see some please? X
