Hello. Apologies for my absence, something else cropped up yesterday which took a bit of time up. Anyway, here I am with another good idea for brightening your home up. You might like to copy this.
My very old telephone is looking a bit scruffy, but it is in perfect working order. Seems daft to chuck it out and get a posh new one. Besides, I like the big buttons and it has an amplify facility so I can actually hear what people are saying to me. Hmmmm, what to do? I have cleaned it with a damp cloth, removed all the gunge which accumulates around the buttons, and cleaned the flex. It needs some COLOUR
Here's something I have just found on yoootooob, you might like to have a go at this, it's so easy. All you need is a plain piece of paper and a felt tip pen, or crayon, or pencil. If I can do it you can. Looks quite complicated but it isn't.
Just follow this video. Let me know if you have done it.
Then when you have mastered the basics you could try this and make a picture.
Wow, you're going to be busy then, ha ha.
Thanks for popping in, we'll catch up soon.

I had the same phone as yours but mine gave up the ghost two years ago. Love your colours. Natalie
ReplyDeleteThat phone is looking great !. I tried stickers on my eye-glass cover. It looks better. Tried art journaling before. It is a very good way to keep us busy. I like the mixed media style.
ReplyDeleteI practice this sort of doodling to get the design into my brain so that I can free machine quilt . it really does make a difference with the co-ordination
ReplyDeleteLove the telephone. We all need colour. Great.
ReplyDeleteLove your phone!

ReplyDeleteJust finished watching your 2 video's (and about 5 others showing op art styles) and another new project to try (as if I need any more in my life) so thanks for that ha ha. Love your phone make-over.
ReplyDeleteIt's Jennys Birthday today but she's not well, so we hope to get out tomorrow and see 'the blade'. I read yesterday it's there until mid March, so plenty of time for people to try and get to see it :)
A late Happy Birthday to Jenny. I will get over to Hull at some point to see the blade. Ferens Gallery is opening on Thursday, need to take a look at that as well.
Deletegoing to have a go with the doddle. amazing.
ReplyDeleteLove the new happy colours on your phone:)
ReplyDeletelooks like mussel shells to me :)
ReplyDeleteLove your phone! Please can you let me know what sort of paint you used? I have a plastic frame I would like to paint 🙂
ReplyDeleteHi. It is a small pot (20ml) of Rust-Oleum, quick drying water based multi purpose paint. It dries with a gloss finish. It's in a little glass jar with plastic lid, got it from Homebase I think. It was in the household paint section, but the display was about craft paints.
