Amazing what kit is out there these days. I have recently got my first (yes first) smartphone (although had a tablet for a few years now) and the stuff on there is blowing my mind! I even managed to record myself playing my harp and upload it to a ringtone! You'll be glad to know I set my sunflower free last week, although I have since planted 2 more seeds in the CD case, about to blog it..... Thanks for visiting me, sorry the reply is so late, long weekend here in the UK so not much time at the main PC as hubby was home LOL BJ#32BJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14648216296129483315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708807491363992142.post-6889934519183622016-04-29T13:46:01.443+01:002016-04-29T13:46:01.443+01:00Good morning, Soshi.

Lovely paint strokes. I bought an entire set of brushes last year and have yet to give them a go. Eventually. LOL Right now I just want things put away. Your space looks very well organized.<br />Hugs and Creative Blessings!

I've got to put her through her paces again soon. If you are thinking of upgrading your cutter, this is definitely the way to go - the Black Cat Cougar has now been superseded by the Silver Bullet - expensive but well worth the investment because it's streets ahead of any of the competition. I am going to try going over the pale flowers with more yellow acrylic, and to finish I will paint the whole thing with acrylic varnish to seal it all and protect it, as the boxes will be in the garden.<br /><br />ShoshiShoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708807491363992142.post-60655644874220469422016-04-29T09:49:42.783+01:002016-04-29T09:49:42.783+01:00I think your paintings look gorgeous.

I was following your blog when you got her. Black Cat cutters are so nice. I now have a Cricut Explore & Cameo. I am thinking of getting a heavy duty cutter. I have been looking at the BC again. I always recommend them.

He's already ruined one of our armchairs using it as a scratch pole, even though he's got his own. Luckily, it's an old one, destined for the dump, but now we can't buy a new one in fear of him ruining it just the same. Hope Phoebe's condition has been sorted once and for all! It can't be nice to live in constant fear of what might happen.

Something I have admired for years. Is there no end to your talents Shoshi?<br />Lovely to see your room in such a closeup and I just gasped when I saw Sheba had not been used in such a long time. Shows how time flies.<br />Hope you are feeling well at the moment - now don't do too much, remember "rest and play are the orders of the day".<br />Hugs, Neet 3 xxNeethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13279125547309537517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708807491363992142.post-247627400996508812016-04-28T21:55:17.773+01:002016-04-28T21:55:17.773+01:00Your flowers are looking fab, and I'm glad the...Your flowers are looking fab, and I'm glad the idea of adding white worked. I love the red background but I do think a deep green would look very authentic - I'm looking forward to following this art journey you are on!

At one point, I didn't touch my Cameo for years either, but it worked just fine when I got it going, although I had to reinstall the software. Love the name Sheba, which incidentally Oreo's favourite brand of cat food, haha! I bet Phoebe and Beatrice like it too. It smells good enough to put it in your sandwich, LOL! Those are good value brushes - I've got some too! Great idea with the titanium white though it will pale the colours a little. You could also try painting white first and put yellow on top.

I feel it looks like a development of the original art if that makes any sense.<br />I got a scan'n'cut for my birthday to join the cougar and I love it. It was much faster to learn and master but the Cougar still gets some use. I hope you get back into the swing of using Sheba quickly- I always love the flowers you produce on her.

Me, I just want it to be right the first time. Or maybe the second. You sure have a lot of technology! It's good to see Sheba front and center again.
