Ive decided to start my very own craft blog. Ill post my crochet projects and knitting projects here, but Id also like to post anything else Im working on, my art or writing, and cosplay and any clothes making I might be doing. I like to work with my hands and I like to do just about anything I can. I dont like buying something that I know I can make, and if I say I can make it, then I can :)
I may be posting project patterns that I have found and used so I will add the link to the page where I originally got the project. Im not likely to make any patterns myself in that area.
As for myself, I have many interests and am a child at heart. I love movies, anime, art, music, I love to read mostly fantasy or sci-fi fantasy, although by my husbands influence Ive picked up a history novel now and again. Ive always loved crochet since I was little, but could never understand the patterns, and now Ive devoted time to learning them Im having lots of fun with it. Besides, my sister is going to have a baby and I have lots of opportunity to learn how to make baby things! Especially as the baby is coming in the wintertime and will need warm things.
As for my art, Ive been drawing since I was very young. My mom always tells me how when other kids scribbled, I always colored neatly in the lines. No one ever drove me to draw, infact it was often discouraged of me through my life. But I kept doing it, I was rather driven to keep doing it no matter what. I taught myself to draw as a little girl by tracing out of Garfield comics and Kathy, until I could draw Garfield from memory. It went on from there to drawing freehand but its a difficult process, and advancement was slow. But I kept drawing because I loved it. When I was in high school my art was at a level at which I actually liked it and thought it was pretty good, and still enjoyed drawing constantly. I was into comic books then and could make original pieces based on my favorite characters. Ive always liked characters and always design them, with clothes Ive designed and creatures. Backgrounds are my nemesis. I like to paint and to draw in ink, and every other medium there is. Im more a fan of acrylic painting than of watercolor. I love sculpting and 3-dimensional art. I took many courses in college to further advance myself. Im not a professional artist even now, but its something I love and will always do. Ill be sharing some of my pieces on this blog as time goes on. Until then, I hope you enjoy my blog and my crafts!
