You can never have enough...

morning ladies   Wow, that was some storm we had in the wee hours and the rain is much appreciated.

What a fab idea, OHH   And why not exaggerate a 'tad' lol. I would tell the kids in my class to just write.  Don't worry about mistakes until it was time to proof read.  Just get the ideas down.  Same principle for you   My handwriting is also turning to custard, and I think it's because I type more rather than write.  I had to fill in a form a while back and the lady said, what lovely handwriting you have 'for a left hander'.  A back handed compliment lol.  I thought my writing was rubbish compared to what it was but oh well...  I've noticed MrK's lovely handwriting is becoming shakier now as well.  They do say use it or lose it.

We need petrol and by chance Gull is having 15cents off today.  Perfect timing as usually I have either filled the car or the $$$ were spent elsewhere.

This wet weather should give me more stitching time   Am having an internal debate about the dragon's scales.  MrK says just pick something and go with it.  My idea of raised satin stitch dots is more labour intensive but will give the dragon more depth but then long and short stitch with laid stich on top is quicker.

Happy crafting

I have always enjoyed writing - as you can tell from my excessive internet posting! But it was university that bedded that in for me when I got involved in co writing articles with some of the staff. I really enjoyed that, not so much from the publishing aspect but from what I learned about form and construction. I have tried fiction, even enrolled in a creative writing programme, but that was a massive failure for a number of reasons. Did discover a love for haiku though, and still play with that from time to time. It's a good way of polishing up the need for brevity! Which is not a strength...

As for the dragon, for me scales beg for stroking, a bit like the patterns my fingers find in my quilts. Texture is important, so I think you are on the right track with layering to add definition.
