So I haven't painted in 15 years, being too busy with cross-stitch and then quilting. Yesterday, I bought some new paints, and started on this figure, which I finished today:
It is a miniature for a table top role playing game (a la Dungeons and Dragons). She is a little gnome cleric of a goddess of healing and the sun, hence the fire in her hand (sun=hot=fire). Anyway, I had a lot of fun painting her... I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed figure painting. Glad I did it, not sure how many more I might do, but this was enough for now.
Going back to quilting now. I made the second block for a bom I'm doing called Pumpkin Patch Lane:
I also cut all the pieces for the third step in the Thimblecreek mystery... I will sew those tomorrow because tonight is my mini-group meeting and I won't have time to sew. Tomorrow we meet again, but it is for our weekly sew-in at the LQS, so I will have all day to work on quilty projects with friends.
It felt good to stretch my creative muscles a little and do something outside my recent wheelhouse. Feels great to know my hands haven't grown too shaky to paint.
