I know we have many creative people here, and I thought it would be fun to start a thread to disply some of our art. I also want to encourage everyone to express their creative side.

I've been teaching myself to draw using the Mark Kistler's drawing in 3-D books for kids, and I'm THRILLED with my results. I've been working with his books since December. Honestly, if I do this, you can too!

This is the canvas I did over the 4th of July weekend

WOOT! WOOT! WOOT! SARAH! YES!

Okay, I did my dress design that I posted earlier, and then I started seeing all this stuff and my mom gave me all these ideas, so I did another one, that I think is closer to what I'll really be using.

New Dress

The skirt will have 5 layers (that kind of hang lower in the back creating the train), and the bottom two layers are removable for after the ceremony and the pictures. It's going to be a beach wedding, so I don't want it dragging all over the place . Also, I've decided to do a french manicure with the tips done in one of the wedding colors instead of white :bananapowerslide:

Very Cool, Sarah - and great planning for the removable length. You going barefoot? Be sure you get your toes done!

:]

awesome dress marimou! I love it! Are you making it yourself?? Its freaking sexy and awesome just like you will be on your speical day!

The dress will be a joint project with my mom. She made my promdress too .

Of course I'll have my toes done . There's also these things for feet that are kind of a toe ring hooked to an anklet. They make some nice bridal ones. Someone I work with does alot of beadwork, so I'll probably commission her to make me one. Now I just have to decide what to do about the bridesmaids. They are all so different in style that at the very least, I've decided to choose the color(s) and have them help design their dresses to match their styles.

I'm really loving the pictures of all the creativity from everyone! It's so cool.

edited until images fixed!

I do quilting, which I feel is fabric art, but I don't have any photos...will try to get some. I tend to make them and give them away as gifts. I also like to do primitive embroidery and have made and sold embroidered pillows to a couple of local gift shops. Recently I bought some felted wool and did a small garden scene for a friend...want to do one for myself next. I'd love to be able to draw and paint, but I'm hopeless at it.

Sandybwells, I LOVE LOVE your art. I do abstract paintings like this as well. What medium do you use? I work in acrylics and canvas but want to branch out to watercolors?

WOW WOW WOW....I'm so glad this thred was bumped today, I've just gone through all the pages, so much awesome artwork! And the idea of a sexy girl doing laundry painted in the laundry room...genius!

People that know me on here know I am a bit colorful as far as my personality.. I think. I am into a little bit of everything. I paint, draw, sketch (pencil) and am into photography. Here is some of my work. Ecclectic and weird, just like me. I'll post some photos I took of a few people and scenery.. and self portraits in another post.
