Hi Julie - I got a small art kit for sketches and was like a big kid - I had to try every pencil and pastel, and even the rubber thingy that's like "Blutak". Had great fun with a Glistening Inkcap. The resulting artwork wasn't good, but the interesting thing is, it's really helped me with the ID of said species. And I felt great benefit form "playing" - a bit like therapy. I don't have the lightness of touch or patience that I think you have. And very little experience. But the keyword is fun :-)
I put the drawing on my Mabon altar (not seriously into witchcraft or anything, but have a little space that I decorate every 6-7 weeks - if nothing else it keeps me in touch with the Earth and the Seasons). The idea of a Halloween drawing/painting is interesting. Do you have any ideas yet?
Take care,
x
PS - sorry about your bout of flu - there is so much around at the mo. Take the Doctor's advice and drink lots of hot drinks and keep warm. I think there's a thread on WAB for home remedies (if you get desperate ;-)

Hi Juliejam. Just to thank you and let you know that I have put your "friend" message on my profile. I'm flattered. (Can't find any "embarrassed" smilie or I would have put one here!). Regards Mike.
Just been browsing some of your fungi pics. You have a marvellous eye for composition. I wish some of my efforts would turn out as good as these. Regards Mike.
Hello Julie - suddenly realised my favourite artist is missing from my friends list - so have remedied that! Also I was aware you hadn't been on for a while and wondered what was up - now I see you are trying to get over shingles - nasty - had it three years ago. You must take care and get plenty rest - I didn't cos the day after it started my dad had his brain haemorrahge, spent a month in hospital and died - and the whole thing has taken its toll on me - so sod the world Julie and look after yourself. xx
