It seems that some on this site carry a bit of that creative flair!

    That's great, BSF! :)

    I'll have a dig in my photobucket and see what I can find! :)

    I hope others will post too, as I'd like to see their work too!

    A friend of mine liked this picture of a watercolor in a book - so I painted it for him to put in his house.

    I also write and perform original music - if anyone is interested in giving things a listen.

    BSF,

    Love the work.

    I really, really, really dig traditional Chinese art. I have quite a bit of it hanging on my walls.

    Is this pen/ink?

    Sar,

    What do you make these articles out of? Is it all done by hand? Loom? What's your technique?

    bf, they are all hand knitted (or handmade on my very own basic invented knitting machine!) :)

    One is knitted with washine line (the yellow one), the blue one is Ethernet cable, the small ones are a rubber glove, a j-cloth, a duster, a plastic bag and a sock! The dangly ones are made from altered and reknitted jumpers!

    The one with the phone, the top is knitted from continuous telephone extension wires attached to the phone which has a normal wool knitted cover! (the phone still works through the whole thing!) :)

    Do you like them or just think i'm odd now?! ;)

    No... I don't think you're weird.

    I think it's fun that someone takes something most of us would simply discard and make something totally different out of it!

    The pictures were just kind of small and I couldn't really tell what some of the items were. Have you wore the cover AND taken a call at th same time? :)

    I haven't - sadly! I've had the top on, but the phone idea was a bit of a rush job at the end, as it was supposed to run the internet through it (but then I discovered that Uni used ethernet for it!

    I like to find the items that people disregard or just 'miss', as I feel that they play much more of an important part than any of us care to believe! :)
