I quilt and also paint on cotton. Where are you located in the world? Here's a 'cave painting' I did in textile paints on cotton. Wow - this looks amazing. Really great work. I live in Boston, by the way. Here's a quilt that I made...I tie dyed the fabric and then cut it for the blocks. My niece carried this one to college with her. Very nice!

Just for iheartseverus. By the way, pm me your size. (I'll see what I can whip up) This is a discharge print. You place items on cloth...in this case, a $1 thrift store jacket and some botanicals (leaves, stems...etc) You spray it with a bleaching solution and what doesn't get sprayed, remains dark.

This is some of the digital artwork I've created: Very nice! I love digital art! Since you are in the US, you need to get familiar with Dharma Trading and ProChem www.dharmatrading.com/www.prochemicalanddye.com/home.phpProChem is in Fall River. MA...Dharma is in the San Francisco area....I love them both.

I'm so excited reading through this thread! I couldn't wait to start responding but quickly realized I wanted to respond to every single post! Balerion's Whiskers is a wonder (as is iheartseverus with her tile designs and, ahem, the many books she has written on the subject). moiaf , your digital designs are amazing - the Winter is Coming (Jon, right?) and Daenerys are awesome, and I love the designs at the beginning of your post. I've been wanting to start painting again for the last several years, and what finally lit the fire under me was a sort of silly little 61 day challenge a friend told me about. The requirement is to just put something - some doodle ( Zadeth , calling all stick figure geeks!), some collage, some painting or whatever - on an index card and post it (I use Instagram) each and every day for 61 days straight. Believe it or not, it's surprising what you can do with an index card. I did try using watercolor resist, but the rubbing off part of it doesn't work so well on thin index cards. Some of mine have been great practice for me, some purely whimsical, and with one I even, as an impulsive last gesture, stuck on some nearly dead geranium blossoms from some I'd deadheaded and thrown in the trashcan where I was working. Some of my favorites emerged from mistakes which I kept reworking, adding to, covering up, and so it's been a great discovery process. I'll post some at the end, but also wanted to say to Envie , you really should try some of the meditative adult 'coloring' books - I've only done a couple of pages in one my daughter gave me recently, but it was totally transporting. I'll post one of those, too. @fireandblood , it's so good to discover a fellow knitter! I started on an afghan last fall out of some scrap yarn, then kept going out to buy additional yard to 'complement' the scraps, and now have a monster of an afghan that I finally had to put away when the weather got too hot. I'll dig it out again in the fall and would love to see your scarf. OK, my index cards: and the geranium petals: and for Envie

Love that owl izzue! The owl was the spirit animal of my Grandmother and she was as wise as they come. I have a few owl things in memory of her. Funny you mention the meditative coloring as I -just- received one as a belated birthday gift while I was on vacation back home in Ohio. My Aunt also believes I should get my creative juice flowing again! What a great coincidence! I just got home from vacation and haven't had time to start it yet. I know it's weird to say but going home is never a 'relaxing' time for me as we always have to go visiting dozens of relatives I haven't seen in years so I never get much relaxing done and have to take a vacation from vacation when I get back! I shall begin coloring soon!

I admit I am so jealous of people who can do really artistic stuff. I'm terrible. I'm half decent with a camera though. I took this a few months ago. It was taken with a DSLR but only an entry level model with a cheap lens. That is why I'm proud of it.

I put a load of photo's on one of my hard drives. Took a while to find the original image. Image info is Camera Canon EOS 1100D Lens Canon Ultrasonic 70-300mm Shot 1/50 sec. f/16 300 mm ISO 100 It was taken last September. It feels like it wasn't as long ago as that. I don't usually do shots like that. I like taking pictures of bugs and flowers. I don't find them interesting, but they are great for taking pictures.

I don't usually do shots like that. I like taking pictures of bugs and flowers. Me too! I actually work for a website with one of the world's largest databases of plants...and we have a bug database too. You're welcome to contribute if you want to.

I don't tend to get much more impressive than the common house spider and a ladybird. If I get any nice ones I will send them over. I've not been as active with the camera in the last year, but depending on the weather tomorrow I might have a drive out into Derbyshire and see if there is anything interesting for me to snap. The battery for the camera is on charge now.
