Here are some things I have done, I am a little skittish, but open to suggestions. Wish I could get to another meet, but I am kinda doubtful as it looks so far.
That was my husband's bike tank & fender I did last year. I found the design, then dissected it to do something simple. This is my "swirlie" practice, which has not been going so good lately! Those swirlies are tough! OK, this one is NOT what I wanted it to turn out like, & it looks like a tangled mess of lines! It was a panel for my brother, & yes, "Bobbie is a christian", & I do not usually swear, nor do artwork with swear words in it, but this is as bad I get, & only for him!
I guess the reason I posted this yucky one is because I want to show that I seem to be able to DO the lines & curves, I just do not know WHAT to do with them all the time!
Also, I seem to do alright if I stick to what I know I can do best at the time.

Seriously, those bike parts turned out nice. Good effort on the Ford sign, too.
Keep practicing!

I was scared to check this when I came home! I think you guys are way too nice, but I am thankful anyways!
John, I would LOVE to swap panles with you! I am just tickled pink! My goodness, that is so exciting! But what are you talking about, folding a card? Doing an aluminum one would be fun & easy to send, just wrap it in cardboard!

I'm glad to see that you are still at it! My fave is the Ford panel. I have to paint a tractor nose (?) tomorrow that says "Stanley". (it's the tractor's nickname!) and I also have a slate to paint for Mother's Day, gotta put an old house on it. Yesterday I finished the backstop for a hole-in-one goofy golf machine, it had food painted on it...no problemo there. I just can't seem to get into the stripes like you do. I wish I could. Come see me sometime! Love....Jill
