    Right, Strawberry, practice makes perfect. It makes it more fun and interesting for me when looking at what others do. For example, here's a free 15-minute flower sketching tutorial...

    Rachel, here are the other two necklaces I designed for my Christmas collection....

    It's a six-way tie. I love all of them. Mind you, I wouldn't wear any of them myself, as they're not my style. My personal style doesn't factor into what is meant for others.

    Which is your favourite?

    Do you think Scope may be interested in volunteers doing this with their second-hand stores?

    You're welcome, Strawberry, and thank you for your compliment. I fell down the rabbit hole last night watching YouTube shorts on flower sketching. They have some really spectacular videos. It's incredible how just a piece of paper and a charcoal pencil can create so much beauty. Here's one of my faves....

    I really like this one @StarryEyed because it looks like glass and the green is gorgeous. I like how you don't design to suit your taste - that's something I really struggle with! Great question about our shops, do you have one local to you?

    @Strawberry1 your drawing is lovely. I'm so happy to hear that you've decided to start drawing again. We'd love to see your pieces if you're happy to share.

    beautiful jewellery @StarryEyed I used to make jewellery a few years ago as well as wine glass charms, I still have loads of gems and wire etc, I just can’t seem to do it anymore so have taken up digital art instead to keep my creativity alive.

    @SmellyBin those gloves are a gorgeous colour mix, I hope your boyfriend likes them as much as I do

    @Strawberry1 what a fantastic drawing, love the flowers in the vase

    @Rachel_Scope olive green is my favourite green. Great choice! The beads are actually synthetic, but the amber beads are glass. I adore those beads and I'm almost finished them. Boo-hoo! There are no Scope shops near me, as I'm in Spain. I was thinking there may be housebound people in the UK living close to the shops that might be interested in doing this project.

    @Strawberry1 you're welcome 🤗

    @Pandapaws your digital art is so delightful! I'd love to see your jewellery! Pretty, pretty please? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😊

    Did anybody make a New Years resolution to start a new hobby?

    I've been trying to learn how to knit again and have watched countless tutorials on it but not quite there yet..….determined to have least knitted a scarf by the end of the year though!!!

    I did! I've been trying my hand at painting.

    Here's a couple - just experimenting with colours and styles as I'm learning. Still finding it fun and relaxing, no pressure 😊

    Good luck, @Mary_Scope. Maybe you can post your progress here to keep you focused and motivated? You could start, perhaps, by picking the yarn for your scarf and posting it? Or the pattern you pick?

    @Holly_Scope your paints are so dreamy in pattern and vibrant in colours. They look like coloured clouds. 😊
