[Knick]

Hey @Shaz51. Thanks for the introduction. I can see this thread is going to be right up my alley!

[Shaz51]

what arts and crafts do you like @Knick 

@Gazza75  and @Former-Member  have done diamond painting 

[Knick]

@Shaz51 I'm a bower bird. So painting, fabric stuff- felting, sewing, all the wool things. And collage. And pottery lol

I like variety so I pick things up again as they interest me. At the moment I'm all about embroidery and invisible/visible mending.

Embroidery is really medative.

Yesyerday I found a space in my house to work and stuck up everything I had that brought inspiration to craft.  It still brings me joy. 

@Gazza75 @Former-Member what mediums are you using? 

[Knick]

Monica Canilao- installation art 

This is one of my favouite artists. She a also seems to have a bowerbird approach.

Haven't seen the image yet @Faith-and-Hope but had a look at the link and watched the video ...those beads are sooo cool and so easy to make - definitely a project the kids can do (if we ever get them back at school )

I particularly liked the picture frame covered in the beads - that would be a great christmas idea 👍
