Well, the Big Ice Storm is over, although maybe I should say the *storm* is over. The ice will be sticking around for a bit. There's a very slick-looking patch at the bottom of our driveway that I hope doesn't cause any problems....

Post Box Easter Bonnet

Ron Rybs @Ronrybs (21492) • London, England 10 Mar 25

That time of the year, so it is time for a new Post Box Hat. Fairly certainly this one is for Easter. Our sunny spell appears to be over as it is grey, damp and a bit on the chilly, so pretty much an average March over here....

When we went out to get the totes full of Christmas decorations out yesterday to see what we had to work with, I found some wooden cut out stockings and bells leftover from a project the other half did years ago. I decided that...

Caleb Howells @Calebxy (369) 22 May 20

With a bit more free time now that we’re in lockdown, I’ve been working on a new book. And apparently other figures from history worked on amazing creative things while they were unable to go out. Shakespeare is one example,...

April @thislittlepennyearns (68246) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 11 Mar 20

Although this probably wont be that long of a post. I managed to post a picture a minute ago so I figured I would go ahead and try to post a discussion with a picture while I waited for drywall mud to dry. The better half got...

Something for the Grandkids. Can you tell what they are?

The Horse @TheHorse (238349) • Walnut Creek, California 30 Dec 18

OK, it's not my Grandkids, as I don't have any, but they're for my music buddy Michael's Grandkids, who already know me pretty well. Michael, Mark and I are heading down to LA for the Rose Bowl, and we'll be staying at Michael's...

Art Mediums

toothbrushglue @toothbrushglue (106) 11 Oct 18

In your opinion, what art medium is best? Is there a "best" art medium? I think all art mediums are probably equal, but I'm sure there's a majority that prefer one over another. I personally like gouache and watercolor because...

toothbrushglue @toothbrushglue (106) 8 Oct 18

Sadly, I realized a couple days ago that what sells the most isn't graphite/colored pencil still lifes or watercolor illustrations, but oil/acrylic landscapes. I say sadly because I'm really experienced in realism and a pretty...

Art Supplies

toothbrushglue @toothbrushglue (106) 5 Oct 18

I seem to find myself in this predicament all the time: I go to an arts and crafts place like Jo-Ann Fabrics, Michaels, Hobby Lobby, etc, and I want everything there that I absolutely don't need. Just the other day, I saw a tiny...

Our latest hobby.

Pretty_Anne88 @Anne88 (323) • Canlubang, Philippines 22 Apr 18

I don't know how it really started. Last year, my mom and I just got into this Diamond Cross Stitching thing. Sometimes they call it Rhinestone Art. Warning! It is highly addictive. Rhinestone art is similar to cross stitching....

Katt Rocketman @PeachieMew (881) • Cleveland, Ohio 18 Apr 18

Today I learned how to make a pet bed out of an old sweater. I like this idea. When a cat or dog sleeps on it, it's almost like they're being hugged. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wN3z8G_KJeQ

East Coast demand for my coasters is strong. How much would you pay for something like this?

The Horse @TheHorse (238349) • Walnut Creek, California 23 Mar 18

As many of you know, I like to make coasters out of guitar sound holes, sent to my by Martin Guitars, Collings guitars, and (occasionally) other manufacturers of high-end guitars. I've only sold a handful of these things. They...

I have never learned how to do snowflakes in my entire life. I haven't learned a few days ago in my math class for the little kids. So here is my very first snow flake. Not too bad for a first time, right?

Is anyone making money with arts & crafts?

Robert Centauro @ourlot (982) 14 Oct 17

People told me about etsy, but it seems itchy. Don't know if they have much of a market. Have you ever met someone able to earn some amount over a couple of buck with arts and crafts?

When I was up at the Father's Day Grass Valley Bluegrass Festival, I ran into a representative from Santa Cruz Guitars, a manufacturer of elite hand-made guitars in Santa Cruz CA. I asked the representative if she could send me...
