I have been enjoying colouring with Polychromos pencils this week, I especially liked the soft look of the pencils on kraft cardstock. You do have to be patient and build the layers up slowly, but at the moment it's my favourite relaxation. Do you use pencils? Because the Polychromos are oil based, you don't get that waxy finish that lots of pencils give.
Then there is the sheer frustration of remembering just as you are about to checkout that you need furniture polish.....in real life you would just dash to the cleaning aisle and throw one in your basket. Now I have to navigate through about six different menus to find the stuff. The other thing that I miss is bumping into people you know and having a chat for ten minutes next to the cat food. Somehow an automated message chattily asking me if I have forgotten tea and coffee this week does not give me a warm fuzzy feeling. So I am pretty sure that this online food thing is not going to become a regular part of my life - even though Brian in the mask in the raspberry van seemed like a very nice chap
Your coloring is beautiful! I would like to try using some Polychromos. I didn't know what made them so different until I read your explanation. I think I'll go browsing online and see what I can find. Since last spring I have been getting all the supplies and recipes to make 3 meals every other week. It's a service called Hello Fresh. I get to pick which meals I want delivered from a good-sized selection. They've all been easy to prepare (20-45 min.) and quite tasty. I have really enjoyed trying new recipes, learning new cooking techniques and not having the burden of searching for all the supplies at the grocery store.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has been using Hello Fresh, she really rates them as well. Maybe I need to give them a go
DeleteOh Enfys, that card is so lovely. It doesn't look like you've used pencil at all, but rather you've made a very a professional watercolor painting. Your coloring is that beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAs to ordering groceries online, I've pretty much given you my opinion on that ... and I hadn't even given any thought to navigating through multiple pages needed to make your selections. I am not trying to suggest that there is any thing wrong with that, but Nope, that would not work for me. I fear it would drive me batty. Besides, I know I am overly picky about my grocery selections ... I want to give the bread a little squeeze to check freshness and check expiration dates, and see the marbling and color of the meat I buy, etc., etc., etc. So I'll continue to grab my mask, gloves, and sanitizers, maintain the recommended social distance requirements, and carry on with my in-store shopping. I realize I am taking a bit of a chance, but at least now I have had my proper covid-19 vaccination. Stay safe and healthy my friend ... and keep on creating your beautiful cards, I do love seeing them ... you inspire me. HUGZ, Carolxx
