Welcome to the Community, @RainbowJo. It is nice to meet you. How are you today? I like animals and arts and crafts too. What kind of arts and crafts do you enjoy doing? If we can be of any help to you then please just let us know.

RainbowJo

i draw. colour. use water colour brush pens. clay. cant think lol diamond painting.

today im in a lot of pain. im in a hospital rehab ward after a fall 2 weeks ago that did my back in. so yeah not too much fun really lol.

thank u for the welcome.

here is a biro pen sketch of my late cat lily. she was 18 and a half years young.

Ails

Oh wow, that is a fantastic sketch of Lily! She looks beautiful and 18 and a half is a great age! My cat, Christy, is 6. That sounds like some really interesting drawing/painting that you do. I have never head of diamond painting before. Have you been doing that long? I'm sorry to hear about your fall and that you are in so much pain. I hope you feel better soon and you get home asap.

RainbowJo

thank u. so do i. but its going slowly lol. lily was a rescue cat id had her 5 years that felt like her entire life.

dimond painting is done by sticking round or square plastic resins on a pre printed canvas.

Ails

Glad your pain is easing slowly @RainbowJo. I hope you feel better soon. Lily sounds lovely. My cat is a rescue cat too. I think rescue animals make great pets! Thanks for sharing the images of diamond painting. It looks fab! I think I recognise it now and have seen it before online. It looks very intricate and must take a lot of patience. I hope you enjoy it. I do knitting and like to make cards. Get a lot of enjoyment from it.

RainbowJo

@Ails

ur welcome. the diamond painting is really easy. the repetitiveness is calming.

my sister is a trustee for the pet rescue charity i got my lily from. miss her dearly but i cant have pets any more as the carers wont even hover up cat hair. if i get a guide dog they will be stuffed as they cant say no to that.

Ails

Oh that's good that the diamond painting is easy then and the repetitiveness calming. I may give it a go sometime as always looking for a new craft to do as get bored with cards after a while. Yes, you must miss Lily a lot as pets become such a big part of your family. It's horrible when they go! I have had 2 dogs in the past and I was traumatised when they died. Dreading the day my Christy goes! Hopefully not for a while though! That's terrible that you feel that you can't have any pets because of your carers. Yes, getting a guide dog would be a good thing. They do wonderful work.

RainbowJo

@Ails my sister has a georgous cat i get to love too so not too bad.

i get mine from wish as they r just as good quality but way cheaper. u do have to wait a bit for them to arrive.

Ails

Oh that's lovely @RainbowJo that you get to love your sister's cat too. Cats are awesome! Oh I have never heard of Wish before. I will need to look that up, thanks. It's normally Amazon that I order stuff from. Be worth the wait if they are cheaper.
