so i’m not exactly artistic. i can’t draw or paint, sculpt or make a mosaic to save my life. i can however, create. i shall give you… a list. i can
knit
crochet
cross stitch
sorta sew
take pictures (i think they’re artistic anyway)
make jewelry ie bracelets, necklaces, earrings
that, then, is how i am artistic. really, everyone is artistic in some way or another. i only bring it up because i have been doing a lot of the afore mentioned lately. i just finished crocheting a pair of slippers. (which are, incidentally, too big). i hemmed a pair of pants tonight. a couple of weeks ago i knit a washcloth. i’ve been taking scads of pictures the past couple of weeks. mostly film (although the first roll i wasn’t really taking any pictures and the canister of film was exposed to light. heck if i know how that happened-i didn’t load the thing). tonight i took some digital pictures though. my sister wanted my to take some of her all dressed up so she could put them on the picture board she’s making for their graduation party.
and i just started crocheting a blanket for my bed. not that i need another. i have three fleece blankets from the store and another that i made. the one i’m crocheting i got the idea from a girl in my english class. she said she was making one and i thought it was be a good idea. mine is going to be sorta of a patchwork. get rid of the random bits of yarn that i don’t have enough of to do anything with.
also… last week i made ten pairs of earrings and a bracelet. how’s that for productive? but don’t think i’m some prude who only makes her jewelry… i have plenty that i’ve paid for as well.
gosh. i make it sound like that’s all i do. it’s not. i do have a life. a job. friends. school. family. i read. i am not solely creative.
anyway… how do you express yourself artistically?
