What to do With Old Paint Brushes
….I’ve been meaning to write about this for awhile now
Back in February or March I received a request to donate old unwanted paint brushes, spools of thread and old frames to the Women’s Art Association of Canada. A couple of very creative women had come up with an idea of how to use them as decorations for a major fundraiser that ran over 5 days in April.
I managed to attend the first evening and was delighted to see how Janet and Deniz had used the old brushes. Here are a few of their creations.

Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge – Chutes and Ladders
chute1
/SHo͞ot/
noun
-
a sloping channel or slide for conveying things to a lower level.
synonyms: channel, slide, trough, shaft, funnel, conduit; More -
a narrow metal enclosure for holding or restraining livestock, in which an animal may be vaccinated, branded, etc.“cattle tend to be calmer in a chute with solid sides”
Of course I knew what a ladder was but I needed to refresh my memory as to the meaning of ‘chute’.

Random Word Doodle #1
….a lesson from Sketchbook Revival
Discovered a fun app from this lesson called Random Word Doodle. It is described as a creative exercise for the lazy brain. You select one word or a combination of two words, grab a pen and for 10 minutes draw or doodle what comes to mind. You’re encouraged to make mistakes and learn new words. Here is my drawing from Sketchbook Revival lesson. The words were ‘impossible jar’. Here is what I came up with.
Whimsical Buildings
….day 2 of Sketchbook Revival
Tamara Laporte was the guest artist for this assignment. I’d like to try it again but next time I would use watercolours and group the buildings closer together. All my markers were permanent and I couldn’t dilute them with water.
