On May 28th, 2016 I became seventy years old. Gone are the sixties and the 1960's and the fab four,when I was a young Mum and danced with my kids to Beatles "When You're sixty-four" All long gone.
And yet I am more creative now than I have ever been. I paint, I blog, I write and publish, I create video books.
For me, the internet and all the technology has begun too late. I would have loved it in my heyday, when I was fit and capable of energised delivery.
But I do not despare, I keep going and my latest masterpiece is below. I used the book "Paint on Paper." which I borrowed from the library after I had facilitated my writing group.
The Writing Group at the library is another story. We are a collection of would be authors and there is some keen talent. the proceeds go to little embellishments to the library that they can't afford because of cuts. I am a Friend of Taunton Library and fund raise to help keep these facilities going.
Anyway I borrowed the book and had fun with many layers of textured paint.
The only one that didn't work was the leaves on paper left in the sunshine, any tips? Then because I am a stitcher, see my craft blog, I then stitched into the paper. When I held it up to the light, I noticed that the stitching has caused an intricate pattern that lets the light through. I may make a lampshade. I will try ot buy a lamp from a charity shop and replay it with my masterpiece. Oh and yes I sprayed gold paint through a lace doily, sorry Nanna.
This time next week I shall post again. Seventy is the new forty!
