Totally loved it. In fact, all his subjects were art subjects with the exception of one computer programming class (we choose all our own subjects in UK, I think it's different in US?). Anyways, he once said that he didn't belive that anyone wasn't artisitc, it was simply about finding a way to express yourself and of letting go of norms. Kinda deep, I know, but it really struck a chord with me. Since then I've tried different things and when I let I find that I enjoy the experience and often appreciate the outcome more. The guy who gave me the advice is now a graphic designer making a bucket of money in his dream job. ;)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01567884062638788962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-59743400135285161362010-04-15T07:15:15.528-05:002010-04-15T07:15:15.528-05:00I used to be pretty good at artsy things.

I can definitely see that in a library area of a perfect house!<br /><br />You are more creative than you give yourself credit for! Your knitting is absolutely beautiful. I wish I could do something creative...I don't even know how to cross stitch! You're cross-stick, crochet, knitting-extraordinaire!<br /><br />And about the scanned pictures? When you showed me those in FEbruary, I loved you just a little more:<br /><br />1) Not only did your drawing look strikingly similar to our nephews.....<br />2)But...you had a "drawering pad" in your purse! I have never thought to do that! <br />3) In addition to your "drawering pad"...you had: a book, knitting materials, and many other purse neccessities......I was waiting for you to pull out a lamp, or perhaps an umbrella. Just as Mary Poppins would! <br /><br />;)Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06854266979976413979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-60153260146368787732010-04-14T19:41:20.787-05:002010-04-14T19:41:20.787-05:00h e double hockey sticks no ha.h e double hockey sticks no ha.The Many Thoughts of a Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12261949837343560602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-78481055107757123642010-04-14T18:35:56.394-05:002010-04-14T18:35:56.394-05:00I cannot draw but I feel that I am artistic.

Maybe there's one in store for you somewhere, somehow.<br /><br />I'm a pretty good balance of creative and geeky. I'm a numbers girl by profession. But, at home? I played the piano for 15 years (will play again one day when we have room for the instrument). I love photography.

I really like it and it looks great on the wall :) I'm sure you could do it. Perhaps a project for when we visit this summer?
