| I own a few typewriters... |
 |
| and recently I realize that I've always liked typing |
 |
| In high school I took typing classes first on manual typewriters... |
 |
| and then advanced to electric typewriters |
 |
| I wasn't always the fasted typist but I really did like trying |
 |
| I owned an electric brother typewriter and sadly over the years after many moves it got lost |
 |
| For now I'm happy with my vintage manual typewriters! |
 |
| Typing in a shower just because they could... |
 |
| What almost looks like a glamor photo with a fancy typewriter |
 |
| I'm not certain why this typewriter is so huge but this picture simply cracks me up! |
 |
| This is a still shot of a short video dating back to 1959 of a typing contest |
 |
| This post is about typewriters and a movie named... |
 |
| It's a French film which was released in 2012 It's completely wonderful! |
 |
| If you haven't had a chance to view it check out Netflix it's on there! |
 |
| LOVE everything about this film! The vintage typewriters, cars, clothes! So much fun!! |
 |
 |
| I found this on Pinterest and followed the link to Lil Blue Boo WOW! What a GREAT tutorial! |
 |
| Today's sketches while sitting at my computer desk... |
 |
| Not sure if these were coins, gum balls or bubbles. I guess once I put some colour to them I'll know. |
 |
| Colorful markers are always lots of fun too! |
 |
| I love these water based colors because I can use them with crayons and they blend so well together |
 |
| I also use them as inexpensive water colors! YES, they can be used with water and paint brush! |
 |
| I recycle allot of plastic containers simply for my crafting use and the inside part of a plastic lid works great as a pallet for makers and water... |
 |
| Add a few drops of water and you have instant watercolors! |
 |
| I use them as highlighters too. But mostly I use them on the early stages of art work filling in color and shapes in my art journals and project books. |
 |
| You might think I have these crayons for my kids, but truth is they're my crayons!! |
 |
| I own several Crayola products |
 |
| I use them too... |
 |
| I enjoy using crayons for various reasons |
 |
| Every time I use them I'm reminded of my youth! I don't remember glitter crayons though, back when I was little. I'm sad to say I could not always afford crayons, the Crayola brand as an adult, for my kids 'in classroom school supplies' so I bought RoseArt! they were always so much cheaper (cost) and my daughter reminds me to this day that she hated using RoseArt instead of having good quality Crayola crayons. I must confess I feel very sad & bad about that choice back then. I should maybe have splurged a little!? But I was a struggling single Mum back then those were the days when Enron corrupt trading practices influenced power costs which spiked my electric bill so high (in So. California) that I had to make seriously tough choices when it came to household spending! Shelter, food and transportation costs won out…crayons were not a necessity in my perspective. Presently, I occasionally mail a box of crayola's to my kids accompanied with a coloring book! Yes, my kids are adults now BUT I don't think we ever out grow taking the time to just sit and colour with crayons! Plus somedays my 'parent guilt' just gets to me! |
