Are you artistic and/or crafty?

Hello,

I am a very crafty person and I was looking to make some MFP friends that have the same passions and hobbies as I do. I love to knit, crochet, weave, spin, to beading and wire wrapping, quilting, painting, photography, novel writing and poetry, macrame, doing a collage or two, some leather work, and toy making. Embroidery, rug hooking and scrapbooking. I have worked with pottery in my earlier years and yearn to start dabbing in it when I can afford it. I love making bracelets that I can wear.

Just hoping to touch bases with other like minded people, who are also working toward changing their life style to be a better, and healthier person.

Feel free to drop me a line by email and/or add me as a friend. I tend to share my artistic ideas and projects on MFP as well as my other health wise adventures.

~Shiloh

    I crocheted for a living for a few years, but sadly burned myself out to the point I hate it now. I studied Fine Arts in college, and still draw and paint occasionally. I can also sew :D Lots of people love me around Halloween costume season... Lol

    Feel free to add!

    I'm a huge fan of sewing, photography, writing, jewelry making, scrap booking.. I went to hs for visual arts but I can't draw for anything anymore lol. Use it or lose it... is a totally true statement.

    I'm very much in to eat and crafting.

    I didn't think I was artsy, until I started to crochet. I wanted to make my daughters pretty headbands, blankets, and booties, so I spent my maternity leave taking care of my newborn and crocheting. Now, I come up with some pretty good crochet ideas, completely surprised myself.

    I'm not very good but have tried my hand at candle making and lotions and potions. I can do a basic form of calligraphy, I did a bit of card and box making and I often make up hampers as Xmas presents. I can bake ok, but my decorating isn't great. I will try various things, but still waiting to find something I'm good at. I recovered and painted my kitchen table and chairs which actually turned out well, but that's about it!

    I make awesome snowmans out of my mashed potatoes. Then I photograph my creation.
