Playing With Watercolor

I've been playing around with watercolors lately. I've always avoided watercolors simply because I always felt pressure to be good at it. What? Being good, doing it well, forget it. Just get out there and play right?

So I've been playing and learning new stuff. The goal is to find a class to actually go to where I could go and just get some good instruction.

In the meantime, practice is the key. Play, and making mistakes and just having fun fun.

Zendala Dare #42

Nothing new or interesting happening in my neck of the woods lately. Doha is cloudy today - strange, probably change of season again.

Here is the 42nd installment of the Zendala Dare from the bright owl. Very simple yet time consuming.

Pomegranate Juice

Pomegranates are obviously in season. There are so many in the supermarkets, And the supermarket we regularly visit sells not only the fruit, but the also sell the seeds so you don't have to go through the hassle of taking them out yourself.

My sister and I used to love pomegranates when we were younger. We actually had 2 trees in our back yard. We would camp out under our favorite tree when it was full of pomegranates, break them open and eat them. Talk about pomegranate overdose.

Now pomegranates are suddenly a popular power food, and getting lots of praise. High in anti-oxidants, and good for the body in so many ways. I have now added fresh pomegranate juice to our family's weekly ritual of green juice shots. Which reminds me, time to go make a brew.

Moebius Syndrome Awareness

The Diva threw out the challenge this week for us the use the Moebius Syndrome Awareness logo as a string to tangle.

I had never heard of Moebius Syndrome until I read about her son, Artoo, on her blog.

This is a congenital nerve disorder which affects 1-2 in 1,000,000.

Thank you Laura for sharing your story, and also the time that you take to give us these challenges.
