A new hobby for someone not particularly artistically inclined. I'm good with colors, but can't draw figures to save my life (unless stick figures count). I've discovered watercolor silk painting. I took a class for the initial scarves, and have now been playing around with various techniques and have had 2 paint days with friends.

This is not a particularly expensive hobby. The paints are about $3/jar and go a long way and the silk scarves start at under 3 dollars and go up from there.

Here are the first two (the ones I did in class)-

Those are wonderful! I love how silk really picks up color.
