Walker- if you consider what you do an art then you belong! I feel that all creative processes are in their own right art.

I also believe it is human nature to be creative, though so many people don't feel connected to their artistic sides and don't feel comfortable doodling or painting or anything else. Spread the word- be confident in yourself and create something! It's great therapy. drinker

Before I went into teaching, I worked as a painter and home decorator, I upholster and restore old furniture,I also make curtains and if it is machinable I do it. As a hobby, I play with Paint Shop Pro, PhotoImpact and make letter stats for Incredimali and Outlook Express. Is this art, I wonder ?

Artiste...create, be.

Words.sketches, painting, music, poetry, heart.

Children, they are my greatest creation....

the rest is outlet....anything, anything I can take from one form, and help it become more of itself I love...sculpting, mosaic, sewing, knitting is a new one, weaving, leadlighting, beading, pottery...

as many diverse recycled and natural materials as possible.

Felting last week, thanks to some generous cashmere and angora goats. laugh

I used to free form embroider, creating a pattern from pictures, when my kids were little...however I am a little too busy headed...and busy bodied at the moment...summer is coming..

Crochet, not yet, I have only learnt the beginnings of knitting over the past few months.

and good morning to you, Bonny flowerforyou

Yes!

I am crochetting a camoflague blanket for my son right now!

I only know the simple stiches (double and single) and I know how to make roses. But I could use some advice!

Id love to make more creative blankets...do you know how to make the popcorn stich or the shell stitch? I hate reading those abbreviated directions!

Well, I never heard these namesfrown frown

It would be easy for me to explain if I knew what it looked like, I'm not good with these names.
