Arts and Crafts - Share Your Talents

[cricrichan]

Thank you all, guys! You're always too kind

Cricrichan you draw very well...have you ever tried to draw a pic of Timothy?...would love to see that!!!

I've never tried, but I've thought about it ... just waiting for the right inspiration

CC, great drawings. It must be awesome to take a blank piece of paper and create something like that. Do you like anime?

Oh yes, I do!!! I've been watching anime and reading manga since I was a child and I like so much drawing anime characters^^ SG, do you like anime either?

CC, love your drawings!

I can't draw anything either! No talents here!

[Victim of Love]

I love doing arts & crafts stuff. I have no artistic talents of my own -- can't draw or paint worth a darn -- but I can follow patterns well so I do a lot knitting, crocheting and needlepoint/cross-stitch work. I make baby afghans, sweaters and caps that I donate to the hospital. Some of them get sold in the gift shop and some are given to newborns of low-income families. Gives me a great deal of satisfaction to know they're going to good use.

My current/new project is a cross-stitch portrait of Timothy, thus my recent inquiry about current pictures of him without a microphone! Mom did one that turned out really awesome and it inspired me to give it a try. I know it will be a challenge - and it's going to take a long time - but I know it will be fun. I think of it as my labor-of-love project!

VOL - we definitely want to see the Timothy cross-stitch when you finish. It does sound like a challange AND a labor of love!

CC - Love your new avatar! Gorgeous!!

that is so great VOL...I want to learn to knit...have made a scarf but nothing more...can't imagine making tiny baby sweaters...so great that you donate them...
and the Timothy pic...I had the idea to do the Expando cover in cross stitch...but didn't know how to go about it...can't wait to see your project...Do you have a computer program that does pictures?

cc - I admire your talent and think your drawings are wonderful. I'm another one that can't even draw a good straight line so I'm in awe of those who have artistic talent.

Now Zelda and VOL - I'm thinking y'all should volunteer to crochet or knit (your choice) an Eagles afghan for each Border member. Our resident artists, cc and Troubadour, can draw the patterns for y'all. Great idea, huh! <ducks and runs>

[WalshFan88]

CC - Nice art!! Nice av too.

Zelda - Cool!

Unfortunately I'm not very talented when it comes to non-musical art. I really have no clue where to begin.

I'm thinking this is a fabulous idea!

VOL, what a nice thing to do for others!

I agree. As Glenn refers to it, a "Hotel California Lap blanket".

[Houston Baby]

I agree. As Glenn refers to it, a "Hotel California Lap blanket".

I had forgot Glenn had said that. I would think it might be somewhat easy to do the cover of Hotel California in cross stitch or needlepoint. I might have to look into that. I haven't had time to do cross stitch in years but working on something like that would get me motivated again.

Thanks VOL!! You have inspired me to check into this! Now I just hope my cross stitch store is still in business!
