Under mains electricity I don’t notice a problem but when we switch over to the generator to charge the batteries then I do notice a slight flicker that makes me feel nauseaous. Touch wood I don’t have migraines that frequently but certain lights, wallpaper or fabric patterns (such as stripes), sunlight flickering through trees or fences all trigger nausea and giddiness. One day one of our daughters was wearing a lovely new sweater but I had to ask her to cover it up as it was making me feel quite poorly – it all depends on how wide the stripes are!! :)
I was once told that I am possibly borderline epileptic so that makes two of us that are strange :)
Strobe lighting at discos and nightclubs used to have the same effect on me – now that was very awkward when out to impress some young man :)

Yeah I have tried daylight bulbs but so far without sucess :( the two I’ve tried so far both set off migraines within minutes. The bulbs are often only available these days as florecest tubes, the curly ones. DH found one that wasn’t but I got flashing light migraine with that one too. Its a big shame as I agree the light itself is superb to craft by. If you’ve seen my Dreamkuts video, that was filmed under one, before we worked out what was causing the headaches.

It’s good that the new bulbs are energy saving and all that, but for those of us who struggle with the florescent alternatives, by making more & more bulbs only available like this, it leaves us somewhat nowhere. No wonder so many people with epelepsy were stockpiling the other bulbs. Had the same problem with the daylight alternative on the spotlight bulb too :( Perhaps its my funny wiring that causes the dyslexia, I seem to process light strangly. DOH Trust me to be awkward.

Hugs

Billie

Long before I started crafting I would spend ages in any shop that sold writing paper and would spend my pocket money on it – plain or coloured it didn’t much matter. I just loved the feel and texture of paper. Then it went onto pens, pencils and now inks, H2Os – anything with luscious colour and not necessarily to use :)

Billie have you tried the daylight bulbs? They are marvellous for bright light and are also low energy. They cost more than the low energy bulbs but the difference is well worth it. The bulbs give a bright white light and are fabulous for crafting under as you can see the true colour.
I bought two bulbs from ebay – one for my crafting area where I can video, take photos and craft and one for the kitchen where my DH does his watercolour painting.

Hugs and colour :)

Thanks :) Glad you liked it. I must have been a Magpie in an earlier life I can’t resist a bundle of pens, all the pretty colours. I have a few Pro Markers and could get hooked on buying them but I wory about the fumes with the birds so will stick to other kinds. Would love to try the caligraphy markers, have seen them on C&C and they look a lot of fun. I do a bit of calligraphy sometimes. Mainly roundhand :) or my variation of it anyway :) I’m not fessing up to the amount of pens and pencil’s I’ve ‘collected’ over the years, but don’t regret any of them. Its good to have options :)

Maybe this will be a year of trying new creative things :) that would be nice. Videos will be a while yet, we are stuck in dull n wet weather so camera wouldn’t see much! Bring on sunnier weather :)

Hugs n pens

Billie :)

I have some of the Zig writers and Calligraphy pens and even though I have had them for several years they are still going strong so they certainly last well without drying out.
Can I have yet more pens? Have just started exploring Letraset Promarkers and have a ton of pencils, chalks, pens lol I await your videos with anticipation.

Hugs
