I didn't like the way she told me to do something in just three words, with no explanation. If someone gives me an order, I do the opposite. A polite, 'I think you might find this interesting', would have been better. <br /><br />Yes, I do edit comments and delete them. Too many are going off topic. I spend many hours on carefully constructing my posts, trying to achieve the correct terminology while trying to keep it simple. It irks me when people twist things around to suit their own agenda. This is not a forum. When a reader sends a comment they are speaking to me. When I write a blog post I am speaking to everyone.

If you did mean me, then I was making a joke that had I been the one to make it popular, then it would be my books, pens, equipment and me giving tutorials on the craft channel, presenting my products. Only a few weeks ago someone was doing just that on Create and Craft and promoting their products whilst teaching those who hadn't thought of it, how to do it. I was joking that people make money when the public become involved in the latest trend, just look at those who draw those intricate pictures for adult colouring books. Also, I have just noticed that you have edited my other comment, as is your right. However, the way it ends misses the point that I was making about everybody being creative and getting their own enjoyment from it, regardless of what others think or say. I was trying to give encouragement to people out there by saying you don't have to be brilliant to create art and get enjoyment and satisfaction from your efforts. Is it possible that my use of the word "you" was taken personally to mean yourself when I actually meant it to mean you the people out there? I hope you didn't take it that way Ilona. Gosh, I was being encouraging to all, sorry if it gave the wrong impression. Assuming that's why you edited it.Jeannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-4391467937500193092017-12-21T00:59:36.724+00:002017-12-21T00:59:36.724+00:00Very nice, Ilona!

It described it as a New Art Form. So much for that description, I was doing doodles like that in the margins of my roughbook at Grammar school in the 1960's. I also did it in art lessons as animals and people's faces! Clearly a child well in advance of her time! Just think, I could have been rich had I marketed the idea. Ha ha!

Seems a waste of time, too many other things to do. They even sell things just like your first picture, to fill in the squares etc. There are many talented amateurs out there who create lovely work in various mediums.

Someone gave me an adult colouring book a couple of years ago, I haven't touched it. It's not the same as making up your own patterns and shapes. I saw a video the other day about painting flowers, she put splodges of paint on the paper first, then drew the outline in after. It looked nice but very blotchy. Maybe that's the way to do it now.
