Children are on something

When it comes to creativity, many children may be on something.  A child I know took some cardboard from a box and draw on it:

So, it doesn't need much to feed a child creativity.  An upper notch is to give them pencils and paper and they are on to have fun.    When it comes to drawing, it is fun to let them free.  No need to draw shoes brown and follow all the colours that are on clothes too close of reality.  Children should be able to choose the colours they put on the paper.  When it comes to colouring, all is possible.  There are other times to get serious.  Colouring should be fun and without constraint.

New Store, New Purchasse, New Opportunities!

I have decided to go to a new store.  That store had been opened for a long time but I never had the chance to go.  Now, after all this time, I decided to make the time to go there.  Here is what I found and purchased:

I got all this for a good price.  I am also happy to have found rings to do some chainwork.  This is why I took so much of them, in various colours.  I found a few interesting stone cabochon.  Here are the details and close up of what I had purchased:

Re-Hooked to latching hook!

I thought that I had been throught pretty much all the latching hooks kit that interested me.  I have to admit that I was wrong.  I found this kit:

It look cute. It is not a big one but it mean nothing.  The only sure thing: I don't think to have a mix up into the colours of yarns!  It should not take too long to make.  I didn't thought I would do another kit but here it is!  Never say Never!  Now, I have learned that going in a different store, it lead to different discoveries.

Now, I think I won't let the door closed.  I am thinking of searching a little bit harder for other kits to try.  I think it is worth it.  There is more possibilities out there than I thougth!

The art of nice handwriting

Pens and pencils are part of what I have.  I need them quite often.  It is a need because I write a lot.  One kind of pen that I like are those kind:

I got my first one of this kind when I was a teenager.  Since, I have period where I use them and then, I return to more usual pen.  Those pens abofe are more durable. The ink comes in cartridges.  The part that I like less: it is becoming a bit harder, with time, to find the cardridge.  Or I may not looking at the right place.  I don't mind having a brief period to get at ease to use them again.  I just like the writing it is leaving.  It is my handwriting but with those pens, I feel I have a far more elegant writing than with other pens.  In some period of time, I like to feel fancy when I write!

Resin -- Discovery

I like this resin:

I found that the pouch kit is new.  I am curious to test it!  I usually use the bottles ones.
I also found a darker resin kit that I want to try:

I never saw this hue before, so I will have much fun using those resin.  I like making that kind of discovery.  I just have to be careful with the mixing.  Both have to be carefully measure.  If not, it stay sticky or it may not set into form.

I have seen too big for a first try!

I have found a weaving loom that I could use with the fine yarn that I have:

It is a nice package.  I am ready to try it.  Here the set up I made:

 The problem?  I had see too big for a first try.  The first error: I connected the two loom parts together.  The secon error was putting too much yarn on the shuttle.  It is a bit tricky to pass it right at the beginning.  Here is the shaft:

The possitive part: I start to get the knack of it and the rows are stacking up easily even if the yarn is rather fine:

The weaved part is more now. I had stacked a few more row since.  Not easy to weave with a double loon.  I have a bit more difficulties with  the two separators.  I may be missing something here.  The instructions are not specifics for doing the weaving with two looms side by side.  I am leaning anyway.  It is nice to try this loom anyway, even if I saw more than I can chew!

Some purchase and discovery

First, I think I have found an alternative on the thin weaving sticks:

It is a weaving loom.  I did 3 stores and didn't found the thin weaving sticks, so I found the weaving loom instead and I will see if it is worthwile.  I also found darker resin:

I also found clear ones, well for those in a pouch, it is new.  The bottle one isn't new to me:

I bought some forms that I didn't have for fusible beads:

I found a nice cartridge pen:

I will have to buy more cartridge for this pen.  I just love writing with this kind of pen.  At first, it take some time to get use to write with it.  After that, the pen glide so effortlessly!  It feel divine!
