While I'm not very artsy, I do love building things. Here's a gazebo, I designed and built, next to my pool(it's not quite finished here, but I'm not at home, and that's the only pic in my Photobucket account).

And here's a peek, into my artsy side.

Just switch the hair to black and do a face change and you'd have Snooki.

The sleeves are silk chiffon and the camera doesn't really do justice to the fabric, the colours are absolutely glorious.
I like this... Is this your first creation or do you have others?

Don't know if this counts as artsy, craftsy or creative but I recorded a cover of Save Me A Place the other week

Never built a gazebo but built lots of houses - but takes about 9 people to help.

Finished 4 like this, late last year.



Let me know if you want one.

Cool I used to draw...

ALOT when I was younger, so much that my kintergarden teacher had asked my parents to have me 'tested' to see where that 'gift' came from...Which my parent turned down.

In Jr.High I discovered that in craft class I could do leather work very well, designing either coasters, key-chains or belts (With intricate designs using, 'exacto' knives, a rubber mallet and hand-held stamps). That was one craft I had a natural ability to do, and probably could still do it if I felt the urge to do it...Sadly I don't have that urge.

I can also basket weave, ala Cherokee Indian, but I haven't done that in years.

If I were you, start basket-making, drawing, and leather working - if you have a talent, go for it!

I just finished hand sewing my first Teddy bear. He's called Godric and I had the lady mix up the fabric so I could change the colours. It was meant to be all red but I worked it into red and gold because he's Godric the Gryffindor bear. He's also fully jointed and my fingers hurt from using the pliers on the cotterpins haha.

I do do other crafts that aren't Harry Potter related... promise. I'm knitting a cardigan right now.
