Arts and Crafts

[PaintingPintos]

I haven't taken any pictures of my crafts for a LONG time.
But I am proud to say that I am -amazing- at making betta magnets out of polymer clay. I make gnomes, horses, camels, rodents, etc out of polymer clay, too. I sell at craft fairs $$$$$$$$$
I also make Harry Potter-style wands out of branches that I take from trees outside. It takes me about 1/2 hour to whittle down the stick perfectly, another 1/2 hour to sculpt the handle and add details, 20 minutes to bake it, then 10 minutes to paint it. They're beautiful! lol I should take pictures....
Anyway, here are some blah drawings I did in India ink.
Well, the first one was done in regular pen&ink, the rest are in India ink....
Also the last photo is a birdhouse I sanded down, painted, and mounted on a post and a family of wrens were made in there ^___^
But a hawk attacked the house, it got knocked down, so the wrens moved to one of the 2 birdhouses hanging from our roof above the deck. So cute, they're really tame!

My dad works with steel and wood, my mom does the more detailed wood work, painting and sewing. I used to help when I could so now I can do most anything lol. I'm trying to plan out a few more projects but I'm lacking funds for the canvas.

Thank you so much! I was surprised at how easy it was. I'm the one who makes my niece's hairpieces but I usually do very simple "everyday wear" things. These things are just sooo expensive to buy!

Ok so one project I want to do is make a 3 or 4 panel Asian style painting, or something similar too it (maybe something like paper cut outs on scrapbook paper and glued down?). I'e been looking on the webs for a design I like (or is even do-able) but I'm not having much luck. I was wondering if you guys had any ideas as to what or how I should do things

All of your arts are awesome! I couldn't just stop looking at them! I'd love to practice some more. I'm more like pencil and ink person lol.

I thought I' share some of my art/drawings
