Happy Wednesday Friends!
They are beautiful! You are so talented.Me- I love needlework, especially counted cross stitch . I love the way you can ' paint ' with thread and achieve some effective results. Its not my job, I usually do it for gifts. At the moment I'm working on a picture for my friends 70th birthday, of his favourite UK costal town. It uses over 80 different shades of thread 🙄
Happy Wednesday to you , too , although it's coming to the end of it here in the UK .
Thank you! ❤️
Needlework is so beautiful! My husband actually knows how to do it quite well haha he use to do it with his mom alot. There is alot of work that goes into it! Very fun! Your coastal project sounds lovely!
It will take me a few months to complete - I'll try to remember to post a picture when it's finished 😁
Yes I bet! I'd love to see it! I was reading your bio, we should chat sometime. My momma has RA and my youngest sister was just diagnosed with it as well. They were doi g bloodwork on me to check for RA since I have some of the same symptoms but my RA factor came back negative.
Your work is amazing merlin.. How nice it is to have a livelihood that youenjoy and are blessed with that talent. Happy Wednesday~
May peace and calm fill your thoughts xx
YAY floofs!! I love all the furry animals ❤️ Excellent job(s)!
I like to stay diversified; reading, writing, carving wood (making miniatures most of the time), embroidery, doodling... I really miss target shooting.
Yay floofs! I love all the animals! Lol those are all awesome outlets! I love reading too! Whatever make you happy! ❤️
oh how cool are u?????
Wow you are very good. I love them.
Right now merlin0413, I’m wearing this site out! Figure if I get noticed help will follow. I like drawing with colors. Learned that in a mental health lockup.
Well wear it away! I love this site, it's truly a blessing to have so many people who truly understand how I'm feeling!
Drawing is a wonderful outlet! Keep doing it!
Will Do, merlin0413, Will Do

Wow! These are great! My outlet since my mom died has been to make her a home. I will post soon.
Hi! Thank you so much!
That's very sweet, whatever works for you I think is great! ❤️ we all need something!
Gardening! It’s like painting with plants. Gets you out of yourself.
bralintly said ....im jumping up and down..!!!!!!!
Hi Gilly! That's lovely! Gardening is a very calming outlet! I do alittle gardening not too much I only recently got good at it. Honest i use to kill everything. Haha
This year I planted alot and it's been going so well! What have you been planting?
I’ve been busy converting my perennial beds to pollinator gardens. I’ve planted agastache, joe pye weed, calamentha and Heliopsis. I’ve got lots of bees so far. Butterflies are late this year. Also put in a half whiskey barrel pond with a few plants for the wildlife. Weeds have been ferocious this year!
Oh wow! That all sounds so lovely!🌷
So I grew some tomatoes... haha
😂🤣
Feel free to share photos if you want too I'd love to see it all! The whiskey barrel pond sounds awesome!
Agreed the weeds are crazy this year!
Here’s the little pond. A beautiful Japanese iris called Angel Mountain is the center.

Brig, thank you for such kind words! Ypu know it's so funny I never thought my art was good at all. I never use to sell it or do it for others but it's one of those things that makes me feel so happy I just decided to take that leap and share it with the world and people love it!
Painting pets is newer to me but I've always wanted to be able to do it. Usually I do landscapes and buildings. I love it all and many other styles of art. ❤️
bear with me- K? im an acuired taste...ive tried for twenty years to get art clubs going... i was v fortunate my first instructor was sooo accepting....some did flowers some made their paints...some made beach scenes glueing sand......
she really was so far ahead of her time....allowing
but lke fellow muscians or coin collectors....we didnt have to be the same....there is no ocrect coin.. or stamp or ice cream as LC was poinint out
styles of art vary from left to right.....depends on artist purpose lke clothes....hiking boots to clogs....which is the right shoe? a: none
it ur paintng.....its the end effect and man....urs is smashing...
ok lke wow ice cream.....not ice milk
or wow pizza or wow music.....
its the effect not has to be such a way.....(artists can do whatver hey want....they get it)
living ur dream is soo cool...ive tried fro 25 years to encourage peopoel to take the risk
i give up....til u......man.....like seeing a person p;lay their dream guitar....goes out in his garage and.......what do u know...living his dream with row row ur boat....
awesome....
most people wont step acriss the line
me too ..i bombed in art til i was 35.....a millino times til i fig the sstem...
unreal
and unreal i get to talk to other artists/muscians.../colaboration
no fun alone.....
man wish i were a billinare...give eah person tengrand to share hei stuff of thei creation
nothing better than goode old fashiond
show and tell..........grade school was spot on.....
keep going!!!!! the class rooom loves!!!! ur work....!!!!!
all real man all real...........we frolm Montana...and we juice sayy ti lake it is.......
smore? go man go....bob is making fishing poles jill has hand made candles....

I feel that brig! I will keep sharing for sure! Thank you for such inspiration too! It really is wonderful to chat with people who get it! ❤️
oh ya arts and crafts wood wookers people who make and are doers.......not nasty crtics...have no time for them..cooks and car enhthsiasts people with passions...so done with the hyper controler clincial peoople ...talk about repressed....fine for thei world i get it...
no me....time
to start the living...not survivng or enduring...i totally done with people who are not encouraging of others....in the learning phases.....encouage participation.....
and are just mean and rejecting or whatver it is....
feeling good because im back with libary peo;ple.....they are the opposite of crow crtics...
ive been doing art for thirty years, construction since i was 15....
my family has never once...asked me to make or do sonething for them....yet ive bilt courses in Hawwaii, the PNW, Salt Lake, Seattle....always having to do it without one speck of help,yet my mother will move mountains and contacts for anyone else ...seen it a millin tmes...rave about this person and call everyone....
imnot a PC guy....iknow what some familes are like and not
i know some familes rave about their kids and the rest like ours...
sooo embarassing to have.....uggh pooor betty has a senstive son....omg poor woman...
have zero time or patience for morons.....however harsh that sounds...they kill peoples efforts and its their pathology not ours....stay away from my friends....
Amazing art work.. I love dance, singing, I have done free verse, poetry
Dancing is a wonderful outlet! I am definately not a poet but I do enjoy it! Haha

That too!
Is it haunted?
I've moved alot and I have checked alot of them out. I've definitely lived in a few haunted places... usually when I walk in I just know. Like it's a feeling.
LC got the ball roling ....this is community colaboration where everybody wins........as LC and others know....there is no correct art or arts or passion....or sport...whatever help;s u want to get up in the morning......have to v want to...v love to....
I envy you very much to be able to live off your art (although I don't diminish all the hard work that this career choice probably demanded from you, networking, etc.) I wish I had made that career choice but I never was courageous enough so I choose a stable yet soul-sucking job
We never know, maybe when I retire I can become an artist like I always wanted. In the meantime I still create as a hobby.
