Living and Learning: Art: Painting: "Yesterday was a lovely sunny day and we did art at the kitchen table with the front door wide open and sunlight pouring in and the music on ..."

This is what I created.

Some stuff

I started this blog with friendship bracelets :) Mine normally go as soon as I make them, aslthough I have entered some fayre competitions and got prizes for my bracelets. I have my own style thats a bit different from what you see around.

Lately I have been looking at different crafts and I also have been doing beads since I was about 6 years old. I have load sof beads but usually make them for presents and did not take photos of them.

The beading loom looks cool and I want to get one.

I also saw a knitting loom which you can do leg warmers and beanies and stuff on.

I made a cellphone pouch with some knitted rectangeles and joined them with a fimo bead we made.

I make some fimo stuff too. I also make these cool necklaces with ribbon and metal charms and beads and cool hair braid things ;)

I have a cool friendship bracelet book but have not worked with the loom yet so looking at that. I work with a clipboard.

I also have just been given my own sewing machine. I learnt a bit about hand sewing and a bit about embroidery.

We made some mermaids with my moms sewing machine and it was cool. I designed the pattern and we adapted it to make it better. Along the way we learnt some tricks and then they started turning out really nice.

I need to make a lot more posts and I also do loads of art (drawing an painting) and suppose that can go on this blog as well although I have a deviant art account too. I have used this a lot for making cards and stuff. Again did not take photos so will have to get better about that ;)

Arts and crafts are fun things to do in your spare time and especially rainy days ;) they are also great for gifts.
