You're right, dearie. I'm not serious...! Breathe, breathe ...I don't even knit ...mind you, I DO crochet. And I've got two big crochet hooks ...why does that sound bad...?
@jannert ,@Lewdog ,@minstrel - That's it. You three have forced me to find pictures of your respective animals and put them all in little inspector suits in Microsoft Paint. And here I was planning on an evening of writing. Maybe I shall come up with a story after I'm done with this.
Actually, no ...more this. @minstrel IS Canadian, after all... earflaps in the wrong place, but I'm creative enough to bypass that little niggle...
Done. At least temporarily - I will need to return to my sartorial splendor when I have to impress someone.
I don't know, I lost it when our resident squirrel, owl, and giraffe decided to play with each other. I've finished Minstrel's art (now to add the Canadian flag). Now to start Jannert's and Lew's art. What I'm doing is taking pictures of a squirrel, owl, and giraffe and using MS Paint to put them in little inspector suits.
Well, I've completed Jannert's and Minstrel's art. @minstrel - Forgive me if I butchered the Canadian flag. I did my best. @jannert - Yes, the white lightening bolt scar is intentional. The Order of the Scottish White Scar is where this owl's from. Still working on Lew's. Did he have to pick an animal that was one of the largest animals on Earth?
Makes it ribbed... for *her* pleasure. That joke is twenty years old now An old woman on a mailing list got drunk one winter evening and when I complained about it being -40F. After I went to be, she wrote that she'd knit me a wiener cozy. The comments went on to argue whether it was a cozy or a snood. So I woke up to an inbox full of drunken old-lady jokes about knitted wiener winter wear. I'd never seen drunken posting before I think that was 1993-94.
Naaaa, I believe anyone can do it. The difference is the time taken to craft it. Any one can sculpture, take a hammer and chisel and whack the cr*p outta the stone, and if your happy keep on whacking. No one else will find your stature desirable but it's yours. But if you take time to see what people like, how to swing the hammer, learn to craft the stone and being careful then you will have a masterpiece. Its not what you do its how well you nurture it. No one is born a writer no less than anyone is born to be a fireman. Patience and willing to learn lifts you onto that pedestal. Even the greats have first drafts that look like a their pen exploded. enjoy writing .
This so much. Anyone can write, draw, sculpt, paint, or play an instrument. If that's what gives you joy, then by all means, keep doing it. If you want to hone your skills so that future personal creative endeavors would be more pleasing, then by God, do it. It's only if you wanted others to see it and make money off of it that it gets difficult. You have to adjust your skills towards what they want, and make what you do stand out more so your work is not just Random Dude's Work #3,023. It is difficult if you plan to make a living off of it. Not everyone wants to turn what they love doing as a hobby into a living, into work and that's just fine. There's no right or wrong answer, it's all about your gut feeling.
@SuperVenom That's exactly what I meant. Anyone can logically do it, there's no constraints (As in my first line in that post, stating there is no starting age) but if everyone could actually do it then everyone would do it.
Okay, I'm tempted ...is this going to be my new avatar? uh ...thinking ...still thinking... I look like The Deacon from "Pogo"...
