Today is the last day of Amelia Critchlow's experimental art e-course. I have had such a great time doing it over the last 6 weeks! I couldn't have started from a much lower base, ie thrown out of art classes aged 12, but I have so enjoyed myself and been amazed at what I have managed to produce.

My favourite bit was learning to use acrylics - so much more fun than water colours - particularly when you use your fingers or sponges or virtually anything you can lay your hands on to apply the paint!In this one I used cinamon sticks and stuck them on the picture at the end! It was also great having the Flickr group for feedback, from Amelia and course members. I feel I have learned such a lot.

Have been trying to add the Experimental Art badge to my blog but for some reason its not working - will keep trying. I would really like to personalise the blog design but haven't worked out how to do this yet. Maybe for now it's enough to have got the blog up and running!
