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 🙂

Hi all

@Faith-and-Hope Love the yarn you are using. How clever to be using paint brushes to knit with!

Your cards are beautiful @Jo-anneJoy !

@outlander have you been working on anything you are enjoying at the moment?

I pulled out my dotting tools again (finally) and had a go at a couple of @Maggie inspired stones. It felt really good to be playing with paint again. I will keep going with some more today I think.

Hope everyone working on or playing with something is enjoying it

I so want to live in Shetland....

Your painted stones @CheerBear take me back to when I was a kid and would buy little tins of enamel paint from the hobby store to decorate the shells I collected.

Here's another card I made, it has two names Glistening Cut Surface or Dust from a Distant Sun.

The background is the Bug Nebula or Butterfly Nebula (NGC 6302) for the astronomy/astrology fans. @Owlunar
