sally's picks - week 12: NON-DOMINANT HAND

What a great week! I can't believe how skilled everyone is with their non-dominant hand. My lines were so wobbly I could barely control them. Isn't it interesting how even though controlling the individual lines is difficult you can still shape a whole picture to look pretty good. In fact more than 'pretty good' in most cases!! Here are my picks to showcase a challenging, but fun week.

leonie's picks - week 11: MOTHER

Mother is an evocative word and our Challenge Wall this week quickly filled with beautiful artwork of varied reflections of maternal love, memories, joy and sadness - whether it be human, animal or pertaining to our Earth. I particularly liked that members portrayed the role of mother not necessarily as always shiny and bright, but at times a daily struggle that so many of us know only too well.

I give you my picks, reflecting ones that called to me in some way, not necessarily the most liked or commented on, but ones that brought back either a memory, a smile or a tear of understanding for me of my mother or of me being a mother. A big hurrah to all mothers out there! Please do visit our Challenge Wall to check out all our amazing Mother themed artwork.
