Tower at Sunset

Whose a clever girl then ? Lot aof artistic people on here now..so nice to see..and a long time since I went to the top of Blackpool Tower..and don't think I would do it now ! What does ACEO stand for,please ?

Hi Bloomer, sorry should have explained. Art Cards Editions and Originals. Started in America apparently, very collectable as all have to be completely original and of the size stated. Sell for around £2-£5 at present. Have done a few but not to sell just to give it a go really. I haven't been up the tower for a long time either. They have the walk of faith, a glass bit that, if you have the nerve you walk on to, you can see the promenade below. Tooo scary! My nephew took my mum a couple of years ago and she got a certificate for NOT doing it :o)) Are you able to get out, weather here not good??

Brilliant N3tyy, I love making cards but have never been able to draw or paint, you clever thing, so much detail for such a tiny picture.

Thanks Simbad. My sister made me smile she said 'I think the detail of the tower might be a little out', Oooooeerrrr - until I showed her the true size and she was taken aback and apologized! Still makes us laugh when I remind her !!! :o)))))))
I love painting, making crafts and my other passion is cake decorating. However, for a while now gardening has taken over, I love being outdoors, and just seeing something grow that you have planted and then capturing on camera is magic. Give painting a go, especially for your cards such as Christmas, it doesn't matter what it looks like, using water colours or acrylics is easy to change until you are happy and it is your interpretation and special ?

That is very impressive - !!!! lovely work

Thank you Paul nice of you to say :o)

:))))))))))))))))))))))

Lovely:-)

Thanks for explaining,N3..I haven't heard of it before..but as I am not artistic at all..more's the pity..I had no idea ...
very interesting though..:o)

Thanks Sheilar.

You are welcome Bloomer. Actually we are all artistic. Just look at all the lovely photos of our gardens/plants/pets etc. and your fabulous photo's of Casablanca, very arty :o). Think we should all sketch/paint something we like and put on here, we must all have some paints/pencils !? bet we would surprise ourselves let alone everyone else :o))) Glad you had a good time today, drunk in charge of a bus pass, very funny image. :o)))))))))

nice painting N3, you live in same village as me :o)

Thank you. Yes Sanbaz. I live towards the road end. The children went to Staining School, then Baines. Do you live in the village/on the lanes ?? :o)

If you look at it that way,N3,I suppose we are..that's a nice thought..me ,Artistic ?..who would have thought it..in a very broad sense,I think .:o)

N3 i live behind the plough off mill lane, been there about 7 years since meeting my baz, he has lived here years, i lived in bispham before and was born in poulton so i went to hodgson, my brother went to baines, i thought you were there by your photos :o))

We have been here 20 years and looks like we are staying! We lived in Poulton before here, Belmont Ave, off Blackpool Old Road and my mum and daughter live in Bispham, small world. I have Baby Kai again tonight, I'm loving this nana bit, not the title though :o))

wow yes small world, i know Belmont ave, cant see us moving either, house prices arent great at the moment, would love a cottage in the country really but dont think it will happen lol, hope you enjoyed having baby kai :o))

But still artistic Bloomer :o) Prices are rubbish Sanbaz, my neighbour has had her house on the market for 4 years. Had a lovely time with Kai, no sleep mind you, and now have 'man flu' :o))))

Is this the Blackpool Tower you mentioned? Well, done, nice detail for a small painting. I like to make cards too. Being creative is a gift I cherish.
I was in Blackpool when I was a kid. I made myself so sick at the amusements in the chairoplanes. So much so I never went in a fast ride again. The memory is so strong of that time.
