alas~ sad my coordination is so gone and the feeling in my hands is so vague that i cannot draw at all. sometimes i can barely sign my name. it's a miracle i can type. i used to enjoy coloring, esp. with water color pencils (where i had some control), but now that is gone too. maybe i need to consider finger paints ?? cheeky

Next exercise, please~ laugh

Sorry to hear about your hands. Finger painting sounds like fun. We used to do that with the kids when they were small. Can you try it and see what you could create? That would be a great coping skill also.

Gustee, you are the miracle, a wonderful miracle smiley

Ever tried to paint with a sponge or just pouring paint - pour paintings.

Sorry about your hands sad

That is an awesome idea. I know at our old house the lady that had it prior did a lot of walls with sponge painting and I really liked her design she did in the living room and bathroom.

@DanaMH you've made me attempt painting after a long while! I usually am in the 'can't' corner, but I 'tried' today cheeky

I don't think I can do that. I was once doodling stick figures when someone walked up and asked "What is that?" I told him it was a stick figure, circle for a head, lines for arms and legs. He said "If you say so." and walked off. Can't even doodle a recognizable stick figure.

@Offmytrack

Doodling can just be drawing circles or lines on a page it doesn't have to be anything at all. Sometimes when I am in a class and board I just start circles to keep me entertained and stay mindful and present with the paper and pen.
