Friday Catch Up - 1st May 2026

Doodlewash Art Challenge / Friday FaceOff

I did my own thing rather than follow the prompts

At first I just used pencil then added coloured pencils. It's unusual for me to do a drawing without pen lines.

Photo Challenges

Pull up a Seat, Monday Window, Thursday Doors [and doorways]

This church is now a cafe with outside seating.

The last two were taken through the train window on the way back home

Flower of the Week

There are lots of dandelions around at the moment and I think they are so pretty

Enjoy your weekend. It's been lovely weather today, I hope it continues ......

Yes they are windows in the photo above and no they are not real windows in the photo below. It's a building being renovated and has a cover over it.

The window below is our hotel bedroom which was below the pavement

The tree and seat below are at Riverside Park, Chester-le-Street

All for now, enjoy your week.

This wasn't a prompt, I decided to do my own thing. Quite a lot of the prompts are repeated and I didn't want to to do the same subject again. I'd been watching Big Cats 24/7 which inspired me to do this.

Monday Window, Thursday Doors, Pull up a Seat

In March we spent a couple of days in Edinburgh, It's a nice place if you ever get a chance to go.

Closed as a church in 1952 this church is now Tron Kirk Market for local artists and crafters.

Love this little door and window

Seats in our hotel room, we were upgraded because it was my husband's birthday

Picture Consequences Drawing game which I played with the grandkids [sorry the photo is a bit rubbish] It's played by drawing a section (head, torso, legs), folding the paper, and passing it on

Fairy Houses

I started making this fairy house in January but there were a lot of things I didn't like about it so I never finished it. It is made from DAS clay on top of glass jars and bottles, cardboard, foil etc

Flower of the Week

My son bought me the vase, I think it looks cute with a single daffodil in it. That was in February, it's now got a spider plant in it.

That's all for today, enjoy the coming week.
