    My Dad is a physics and math geek. I crocheted him a blanket based on the Sierpinski's Carpet fractal pattern.

    I made these ornaments for an artists' market a bit ago. They're traditional good luck charms called zongzi, usually seen at Dragon Boat Festivals. I also made the wire tree to display them.

    Hey, where my artists at?

    I was recently given a beautiful floor loom. A friend of a friend was clearing out old stuff and needed to find a new home for it. Her grandfather had made it for her grandmother - and heir-loom! - but it was just collecting dust on her patio. I cleaned it up, replaced some of the strings, and it works great! I just completed my first project, a scarf to go to the previous owner for the amazing gift she gave me.

    miriandra - I'm totally lacking in the artist department, but love to check in here to see what's happening. The loom is amazing and the scarf is gorgeous.

    I made lampwork beads for the first time ever! They still need some finishing work, but I'm happy with how they look for a beginner.

  • Those are awesome!!!!! Great work and it doesn't look like a beginner's work to me.

    A while back, I was gifted a lovely little floor loom. A friend of mine said, "So, you're making me a rug, right?" She's getting married this weekend, so choosing a gift was easy. The rags are silk I brought back with me from Korea. My cat approves.

    The gallery idea is excellent.

    I’m an architect and an artist, and these are some of my drawings.

    I’ve recently stopped drawing because I developed pneumonia and some health issues that worried me, so I lost the desire to draw for now.
