This week with my own hands I have set up a new group

 on Creative Cafe for anything to do with disability which

you may like to join? And isn’t it handy that we have a lot

 of interesting discussions going on at the moment. Please

don’t be shy and at least give us a helping hand with the

 one where members introduce themselves. And hands

 up if you have thought of buying any of the lovely

things in our Salesrooms lately? That would be a truly 

 handsome thing to do. Finally I have to rush off now

because I have my hands full sending round this comment!

Hi Aileen

Got your cards today. They are great thanks. Glad to hear you will be setting up shop in Salesrooms soon. Will definitely be back for more. Your designs really seem to be cheerful in this bleak winter. Mind you it was quite sunny today down here.

Anyway thanks again
Bye for Now

Hi

Oh thats Ok about the cards. We will want more soon I guess.

Here is my latest weeks group comment anyway...

If you have time read this article
How the Internet Redefined Art
It says the internet has redefined art and is going for the Wow factor and the Novelty value instead of quality works.
I admit when I have been putting round comments on your page I have gone for novelty. The painting elephants, the dancing parrot, the green graffiti. And here is another novelty The Four Seasons Tree from the article above which was voted best art on Digg and had 240000+ views on flicr. The article says this is a dumbing down of art and that its hard to get 'real' art education on the internet. Have a look and see what you think and let me know if you want me to bring around novelty or 'serious' to your page?

Hi

I have put your works up in the main page spotlight slideshow this week for being one of our members with work in the Salesrooms. You do have a lovely selection of cards. Sales are slow at the moment but I think they will increase again for Valentines.

Anyway here is another silly video for you!

I get what you wrote about it starting off in a box and then taking over the home. I need a bigger box already. lols

Got some corrugated paper so might cut shapes out and add piccies or sequins. the choices are pretty endless.

Hope your weekend is going well for you. The sun is out here and feels a bit Springlike.

Bye for now

Hi Aileen

What I have done is got a box, that a present came in and I am have put my arty bits and pieces in there.

I picked up some different ribbons (all on special offer) the other day and today I bought a new pair of scissors as I think they are going to be essential when cutting and shaping things for the cards. My old ones couldn't cut butter. lols

I have some stickers and lettering I picked up at Wilkos pretty cheap and also I have plenty of card, so am going to do some DIY stencils. Just have a play around really. See what comes out.

My friend is coming over next Friday and we are going to have a card making session. Em, my daughter, made all her Christmas cards so she wants to join in with us. Will be a girly day in. And my friend makes great decoupage cards and has offered to show Em and me how to do that.

So it is all quite exciting right now. Can't wait to get started. I might do some playing around, with card, over the weekend...see how things go.

Will let you know if I get inspiration. If I am pleased with any of the results will take some photos and put them up here.

It is really thanks to Creative Cafe and the card making members that I have got the bug. That is one of the great things about being on here, I get to see what other people do and sometimes, have a go myself.

Sharing is a great thing....as long as everyone can have their space, their creativity and that it doesn't become plagiarism. The uniqueness of individual art is what it should be about...and having some fun along the way.

Bye for now...:>)

Hi and hope your 2008 is going well so far.

Oh no I see below you didn't get the last Cafe News. Sorry about that. They are going on the main page from now anyway.
Well I was just wondering if you have seen this?

Hi there, Green Tambourine,

The picture is from a colouring book of Mandalas a friend bought me for Christmas. I find colouring incredibly therapeutic. Wish I could draw things to colour. Maybe I could but they wouldn't look that good. Might give it a try though. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I think this picture is of a window in a French cathedral. Not Notre Dame, although I have coloured one called 'The Rose Window' which was from a window in Notre Dame.


Anyway, maybe that is too much information. Hope haven't bored you silly.

I see you have put up some new piccies. Going to look at them now.

Take care :>)

Featuring

 

 See the Festive and Trees Slideshow

of members work and other tree items

on the main page. Thanks to members

who have made the effort to contribute. 

Read about the Tate Modern and

 the Living Wage campaign. Are they

being modern Scrouges ? 

 I have now taken out quite a few

widgets and some slideshows and

hope the site runs faster. More about this

is in the discussion Internet Connectivity.

 

Thanks to Desik, Tina Donavan, Rebecca,

Green Tambourine Designs,  Margaret Hamilton

 of Slackstitches, Leslie Wilson-Rutterford 

 and Lionel Ross for being the first seven

members to list their work in our Salesrooms.

They  all win either a fairtrade friendship

bracelet or a handmade wooden pen and

there are still 3 more of these prizes

for being in the first 10 to be won

 

I want to wish everyone very Happy Holidays

but also a word of warning that this

can be a difficult time of year for many.

Calls to helplines for all kinds of problems

and depression rise by nearly ten per cent

during the festive season. Creatve Cafe

will be open all over the holidays

 and I hope to put up some quizzes,

 competitions, puzzles, jokes

and so on next week for entertainment.

If you have any contributions

please do add these and make an effort

to communicate with other members.

 

Thanks for all your contributions

to Creative Cafe since we opened

six weeks ago.

 

Bye for Now

Jill
