Craft Corner

There might be art and craft groups in your area where you can just turn up and pay a nominal fee on the day rather than signing up for a term or anything .... a sort of pay as you go deal .....

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope. Have you volumes of visual diaries done 😊? It is really lovely when you get on that roll. The person who took us shared her work and it was amazing. I’m sure I’ll be so inspired by yours. Can’t wait to see your growth and progressions across different areas. My friend did textile art many years ago and I adored lots of her work too.

Lots of smiles back @CheerBear. Thanks for the encouragement. I’d like to do some more. I really did pull those big girl pants on a few times. 😜

oh and a very talented house mate helped me too. We stayed up the last night to finish it which was really nice. 🤗💜

No-cook Playdough-for-adults Recipe

2 cups plain flour

2 tablespoons oil

1/2 cup salt

2 tablespoons cream of tartar

1 to 1.5 cups boiling water (added a little at a time until consistency is right)

* food colouring (optional)

* few drops glycerine (optional)

* few drops essential oil (optional)

Mix the flour, salt, cream of tartar and oil in a large mixing bowl.

Add food colouring TO the boiling water then into the dry ingredients

Stir continuously until it becomes a sticky, combined dough

Add the glycerine (optional)

Allow it to cool down then take it out of the bowl and knead it vigorously for a couple of minutes until all of the stickiness has gone.

* This is the most important part of the process, so keep at it until it’s the perfect consistency

* If it remains a little sticky then add a touch more flour until just right

Yeah @Teej ... you rock 👍🤗💕

Hi @Teej@CheerBear@Faith-and-Hope@PatchouliRose

I read this interesting article this morning on the mental health benefits of craft and thought I'd drop it in here in case anybody was interested.

Happy crafting ☀️
