Craft Corner

Craft Corner

A place to chat and share all things crafty!

What's your favourite craft? Is there anything you're working on at the moment? What would you like to create/work on (I have heaps of "one day" project patterns and ideas that I know I will probably never get around to, but it's nice to imagine)? I'd love to hear!

I have absolutely no artistic side to me and stick figures are the extent of my drawing ability, but I really enjoy learning and trying out new crafts. I learnt crochet during a stay in a prevention and recovery centre and it's something I pick up often when I am feeling blue, I need a distraction or I'm just a little bored. I've tried paper crafts too, although I didn't really get far with anything. Sharpies are some of my best friends and when I find my hands need to move I have a collection of smooth rocks that I draw on (different coloured circles) which often relaxes me. Sometimes I dust off the sewing machine and sew as well. I walk around spotlight for a fun outing 😉

Looking forward to hearing from you all 🙂

Re: Craft Corner

I think you would @outlander you’ve done crochet which takes patience, you paint. You might find it a bit basic as you have painting skills, I don’t.

Re: Craft Corner

I love it @CheerBear so much. You are very talented. I don’t think I have snitch patience to go all those dots.

Yours is just so beautiful ❤️

Re: Craft Corner

painting never seems basic lol @Maggie I don't have many skills with painting so maybe it would be a good way to enhance my skills.
painting with cotton buds or pour painting is pretty fun and easy if you wanted to have a go at those or branch out from the dot ones

Re: Craft Corner

Thank you heaps @BlueBay ❤ I am surprised I have the patience to be honest, but I find I kind of get into a zone with it and it happens. Wonder whether you find that too @Maggie? You might be surprised BlueBay 😊

Re: Craft Corner

I’ve seen pics of that @outlander ive also seen Dutch painting a lot like dotting but they have multiple dotters on a piece of wood or cork.

I’m also trying to do a bit of mosaic, thats not going very well. I think a stone is too small to start with.

Re: Craft Corner

How do you start it. From the middle outward? @CheerBear

Re: Craft Corner

Yes @CheerBear and if it doesn’t work, you can wash it off or paint over it. Done pleny of that.

You can also make your own stones. Found that our last night.😮😮😮😁😁😁
