M-am tot gandit daca are rost sau nu are rost, daca e bine sau as putea sa... si tot n-am ajuns la o concluzie certa. As avea nevoie de o motivatie care sa nu-mi mai dea 'second thoughts'. Pana la urma o sa fie bine. Mi se pare ca atunci cand un hobby devine ceva mai mult decat un hobby tot farmecul acela de la inceput se pierde, devine monoton si obligatoriu sau necesar. Cand observ ca se intampla asta iau o pauza in care nu fac nimic legat de hobby. De ce? Pentru ca in felul asta o sa mi se faca dor si o sa am mai mult chef si spor cand reiau lucrul, ceea ce recomand si altora. 'Excesele te purifica'. Excesele de timp liber te provoaca sa-ti perfectionezi creativitatea si imaginatia. Asa am inceput desenatul in creion, colajele si pictura. Iata ce a iesit:

Improvizatie de criza - din lipsa de panza, am pictat pe un tricou si l-am cusut pe o bucata de carton. Imaginea rezultata reprezinta o tipa care doarme si este deranjata de lumina prea puternica, cel putin asta am vrut sa reprezinte.
De ce pe un tricou si mai ales pe acesta? Pentru ca se largise destul de mult si nu aveam cum sa il mai port nici prin casa. Imi e drag si are o anumita insemnatate pentru mine, nu am vrut sa il arunc, asa ca l-am transformat in ceva prin care imi voi aduce aminte de momentele in care l-am purtat (click pe imagini pentru marire).

Din categoria tablouri si colaje face parte tabloul de accesorii si prezentare Creatibles pe care il puteti gasi la resedinta domnului Alec Sandor, meditator de chitara. In poza nu este rezultatul final, momentan tabloul este plin de cercei si urmeaza sa fie pozat la locul de cinste, asa ca voi reveni cu imagini actualizate.

I love painting amoung other art activities but I don't seem to have enough time to paint or go to the store and buy some watercolours, so I thought I can make my own watercolours at home. I found this recipe and it sounds interesting:

"These vivid, non-toxic paints can be used wet or allowed to dry and used like regular watercolor paints.

Materials:
- 3 Tbs. baking soda
- 3 Tbs. corn starch
- 3 Tbs. white vinegar
- 1-1/2 tsp. light corn syrup
- food coloring

Steps:
1. Mix vinegar, baking soda, corn starch and corn syrup together in a small bowl.
2. Divide the mixture into several small plastic tubs or jar lids.
3. Add six to eight drops of food coloring to each tub or lid then mix.
4. Use Wacky Watercolors as they are or let them dry into hard cakes of paint. If you use them while they're dry, be sure to wet the paintbrush before painting.

Tips:
- Use paste food coloring if you want especially vivid colors and lots of color choices. Some oil based food coloring will not stir in well, but it will blend perfectly by the time it's dry.
- Take the opportunity to teach little ones about color mixing. We made purple, green and orange and then went a step further to make mixtures like red-violet and blue-green by adding one part of one primary color to two parts of another. Mix all three primary colors to make brown.
- You can make a larger batch and make the paints in an old ice cube tray. Other possible containers are empty watercolor kits and pill boxes (the kind with a compartment for each day of the week).
- The more food coloring you add, the more vivid the paints will be.
- These take a long time to dry! Ours were in small lids and took about 24 hours.
- If you make them in bottlecaps, you can store the dry paints in a plastic baggie or even tie a few of them in a small cloth with a ribbon as a sweet gift."
