RE: Some Painting Fun to pass the Rainy Days away... :D
My mother and sisters have participated in a number of wine-and-paint events, and always tend to turn out paintings with their own unique takes on whatever the program intended.
My youngest sister struggles with anxiety and OCD, and that made our trip to MN a bit difficult, especially on the return when we were both also very tired. You have my sympathy!
Haha, yes, it is so cool to see how everyone in the class ends up with a different painting, even though we were all painting the same thing!~
Thanks for the sympathy!
Its been a struggle for sure. You never realize how intense and upsetting anxiety and OCD can be until you or someone you love is plagued by it...
Feel free to steal my candy cane earrings idea if you want an easy project for the kiddos! If you want to use slightly-ireegular seed beads instead, they also work well. I will be leading a library class this Saturday. All you need are some 2" head pins, 4mm red and white beads, ear wires, 6mm jingle bells, and chain nose pliers. With the right coupons and sales you could make a lot for just $20. I don't know whether the ordered pattern would be soothing or extra-frustrating for someone dealing with anxiety and OCD though.
Thanks!!
Ill show my daughter. She loves fancy dangly earrings, and she enjoys making jewelry. For her, I think the pattern would be satisfying. And its not like it is a difficult pattern.
I appreciate you sharing the materials needed, that will make it super easy! :D
Just remember that the head pins are fine for seed beads, but strung beads may not work depending on the source!
Good to know, thanks!!
