Oh so now you mention flowers

I think I just lost the bet

I didn't think you were bringing flowers too..OH wait!! You mean Gene

I believe that anyone that creates is an artist.
It doesn't necessarily have to be done for someone else for it to be art.
As an artist I find it difficult at times to create something specifically for someone else.
I have to feel it to be able to do it.
If they admire it and mention how they would like something like it I find I usually give them that piece.
I record it before hand so I have a record for myself though.

As for what I create the list is terribly long actually.
I write poetry on occasion (I love words and playing with them), paint, draw, crochet, make quilts, build things, use clay and am up to trying almost any medium to create what I see in my head.
I have used non traditional items in my designs such as hay, sand, beans, broken glass, shavings string, wire, fiberglass....another long list.
I would love to create welded metal sculptures at some point.



This is a mixed media design I created on a 5' fiberglass elk.
Paint, broken glass, fiberglass and an adhesive were all used here.
