Crafters: What is your crafting style?

Subject: Crafters: What is your crafting style? Thu Jan 17, 2008 7:52 am

So for those of us who express ourselves with crafts and handmade projects... what is your crafting style? What do you craft? How do you do it? What inspires you?

No matter how serious or casual you are about it, let us know what your crafty passion is and how you go about expressing it. You can chose multiple options in this poll, so let loose and spill the beans.

Eek I need many many more options for this one... forgive me if there's something I couldn't squeeze in here!

...

Me... I cross stitch mostly, and I prefer larger pictures (especially animals and fantasy) rather than scenes or samplers. Other than that I do know some other embroidery stitches as well as dressmaking and knitting, but I don't do it often enough to be very good at it. I potter around with scrapbooking and cardmaking, and although it's something I intend to build up over the years, for now I'm starting slowly. Really slowly. lol.

I am learning how to scrapbook...it is something that I am really new at...but I am enjoying it immensely!

I also crochet, embroidery, and sew...although not as often as I used to...

I love to cook and bake and enjoy canning and gardening too...I am presently learning about herbs...how to grow them, preserve them, and a better understanding of their natural healing properties.

Interesting poll, Rae'ya!! flower

I had to go for scrap booking too. I do cross stitch and knit - I make stuff and like to get really messy (who doesn't love salt dough?!).

However, at the moment, it's scrap booking I'm doing regularly as I'm scrapping my BoS.

Remember you can tick more than one option in these polls guys! So no need to stick to just one. Very Happy

I love to make jewelry. Very Happy

Mostly with wire links and gemstones, but I have done a few things with beading thread, and a few other techinques.

I also really love to work with wood. I'm not all that great with a wood burner yet, but I am getting there little by little. I mostly build though ... my front porch and many other wee projects here and there. Very Happy

Hehehe Asphodel, I'm glad I squeezed the woodworking option in there now! Very Happy

I've just got a wood-burner but I haven't had a chance to start experimenting with it yet. Rolling Eyes

I've messed around with some jewelry making too as my mum and sister were quite serious about it for a while, but I always had other projects on the go. lol. Plus I've got a stack of scrapbooking that is waiting to be done... not enough hours in the day. lmfao

I'm glad you included it too! Very Happy

It is really a lot of fun for me, but thank all that is good for the speed square (without which a 2 x 4 would never be cut straight by me)

We are going to have to post some of our experiments. Very Happy

I love to do wood burning, but have been too scared to move away from what I already know how to do with them Embarassed

I want to learn shading and fine lines. My hands shake pretty bad some days, but I think I can do it ... (just need to get up the courage to try)

Well, now I think I am going to go ahead and try LOL

I'd love to see some of your jewelry!

*HUGS* Rae'ya! There really just aren't enough hours in the day.
