Writing has always fascinated me, the reason is that we all have access to the same amount of words and after all there are only so many words. Yet there are so many different combinations to put all these words into that we all have the same opportunity to create a great Story or Poem.

Nothing beats a retro pinup outfit for the ultimate seductive look. Unlike most of the revealing clothes today, the dresses and lingerie from the 1940s and 1950s were both sexy and classy. The clothes showcase the models assets without revealing too much. Wearing a retro pinup outfit is also a great way to get attention. Singer Katy Perrys fabulous retro ensembles made her career even hotter.

What is masking? Well you may ask! Masking is a method of covering certain areas of a painting, so they are, in fact, protected while you apply paint to the other parts. In principal this is a fairly easy way of gaining effects to your work that otherwise seemed not possible.

Sanguine can be a drawing, crayon or chalk. There are various different shades it can actually be. Flesh, or an absolute blood red, or a reddish colour. This medium can be used for drawing. It has oxide in the pigment and the content of it is generally chalk or clay. This is also the main colour in Conte crayons. Red chalk, as a term, is the name of the shade.

Pastels are a strong and also colourful way of painting. The medium itself is dry and because of its powdery surface the light reflects well. So, with pastels, they give out very intense colouring, more so than any other medium.

Living so close to my local beach I was inspired by the shoreline and found that this was something I needed to try. On a daily basis I see people picking up and feeling pebbles, fiddling with them and often putting them in their pockets to take home. To be able to create a picture from them too, can only be a progression.

How interesting and decorative suncatchers really are. They always appear so artistic and, the type that are made with stained glass, seem to be very popular today. In fact, many are made from plastic sheeting. These are relatively easy to make as I am about to describe below. In the main I have found that I have given these out as presents and the receivers have always been delighted with them!

Candle making is pretty easy to do on the whole. I am only surprised that more folks don’t experiment with this bearing in mind that candles are such a accepted item. Not simply do they generate a feeling of warmth and release perhaps healing powers as we find them restful, but they also give us soft and informal atmospheres to slow down by.
