A successful day

I was worried about today and teaching my first art class. I am by no means an experienced watercolour artist and still at a very basic level and so teaching a session - which has ended up being two sessions - at my art club was a bit daunting. Today was the day and actually it went really well. It is a very mixed ability group and everyone got something out of it and everyone was very complimentary about it saying they enjoyed it a lot. Phew. I was very worried and now I have done one I am happy to do more.

I have been busily scrapping but most of it is for Alice's wedding album and so I can't share those pages obviously.

 

I did make this though using one of Lisa's sketches at Scrap a Sketch

 

I had a major issue with it for me though. The title was composed of two different length words and it affected my OCD terrible that it wasn't balanced at the top. First world problems eh!

 

 

I am loving the nautical theme though.

 

 

 

 

Today I am thankful for

• my art class going well
• courage

and I end with things found on the internet that are sad reflections and often all too true about modern life ... some are heartbreaking

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This one reminds me of the brilliant brilliant book by Raymon Briggs about the Falklands war called the TinPot Foreign General

 

 

 

 

 

 

I thought they were very sobering
