Funny Way of Painting
While most people will paint the background first, I will usually paint the main subject first.
The reason behind my doing so is that I haven't the confidence of successfully completing the
painting, especially on the main subject. As such, if I can't paint it right, I will just abandon it
without wasting the paint that has gone into the background. However, so far, I find myself quite
capable of painting, which surprises myself a lot.
I am in the midst of discovering my own capabilities, so as to say. I can't deny that more practice and more courage in doing new things will make myself evolve into a painter of some uniqueness.
Pray God will give me more power as I strongly believe it is Him who has been guiding me along!
I need only believe!

Further to Crocheting with Cloth Strips
It just dorned on me I need not actually use polyester cloth for fear of fraying.
Fraying may be good as it will give another kind of look or texture, just like a furry bag.
Maybe I will try doing one and see what the end result is. I will try to make a psychedelic one,
kind of punky style.
Maybe I will do it in random colours , textures and shapes.....
I suppose there is more versatility in cloth strips....not restricted to the wools, strings or threads available in the market.
If you like soft, cool silky touch, try silk. Wow, I can imagine all the floral kinds, geometric designs , plain sweet ones etc etc
About cutting cloth strips, if you using polyester, it is harder because you can't tear them as in cotton or silk. While cutting , put the cloth all laid out flat and as you cut , look at the strip and not at the wider part of the cloth. Look a little further than the position of the scissors, that way you can be sure of cutting a straighter piece. You have to use a large pair of scissors if you want smoother edges . Otherwise, using a smaller scissors will cause jagged edges to your cloth strip. Even that is okay, because you will produce a special effect to the surface of your bag. It is all part of creativity.
However, choose the size of the needle carefully. A large one will help you finish the work faster but there will be larger holes and a lining is needed.
