Night Shift

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

Hi @Snuchu

How are you going?

I hope that things are hopeful where you are - and that you are able to get to some useful therapy sessions

Do you know how long you will be in hospital?

Whatever happens - I hope that this is helpful for you - and you can take as long as you need to recover

Hi @Former-Member

Glad you like the little frogmouth 😊 I reckon it has real attitude, it rocks !!

I didn't draw it per se, although I do have the skill development to be able to. Recently I discovered a tattoo style called "watercolour tattoos" and I am really taken with them. I am not partial to wearing tattoos myself, although I am happy to have them body-painted on ❣. There is a family friend of ours who is really skilled at body painting and she does very realistic "tattoos".

This little owl is a watercolour tattoo, but it wasn't a frogmouth. I gave it a makeover 😆 adding in the change of beak and the Tawney eye colour amongst the over-painting on my Drawing Desk app. It only exists as a virtual image, unless it gets printed out, of course.

Chatting on the forum is inspiring me to use the virtual drawing app over photographic images, but I can change them completely using the app if I wanted to ...... I might take some of them into real paint and canvas when I get my mojo back. Not feelin' it enough at the moment.

❤️
