NO! I hate carving pumpkins and scooping out the yucky mess inside. We did it when the kids were little but not any more. We went to Pumpkin Fest in Port Elgin many years ago. There likely were some carved pumpkins there. I don't remember. What I remember were the massive pumpkins. Some weighed close to 2000 pounds! Crazy!
I like having all the colours. When it comes to art supplies I buy the full range of colours, the biggest set possible. That probably says more about a major personality flaw than it does about being an artist. After all, I don't actually like all the colours! But on that note, I am still working on clearing things out. It is good stuff, too good to go to the thrift store. I have been listing things on Marketplace and making some sales. Yippee, it feels good to get some cash for things I am not using. Maybe, I will learn to stop buying things I won't use!
I like being creative and spending time with creative people! My niece and I were messaging each other earlier today. We were both commenting on how grateful we are that we are creative. Creativity is a balm for the soul.
That yucky mess inside the pumpkin is an issue, lol! That's probably why I don't carve a pumpkin very often anymore either. Enjoy your art supplies - that's what they're for. Just like our quilting fabric stash!
ReplyDeleteMany colouring pens etc come in sets so we can't buy individual colours. So what to do with the colours you don't like? I suggest adding them to your work so the contrast makes the favourite colours stand out - I mean 10% of the boring colours and 90% of the fabulous ones. If there is NO contrast those 90% would not stand out as much.
ReplyDeleteActually, the yukky 'intestine' of the pumpkin is very nutritious so I hope you
used it for soup or puré.
A little extra spending money is always a good thing. I guess I don't dislike the yucky pumpkin innards as much as you. While not the best part of carving jack o'lanterns, I like the end result more so I guess I'll continue to scoop yuck. Lol! How nice to share creativity pauses with your niece. My sister & I do the same.
