Whilst visiting The Range and Hobbycraft i found 'Painting by numbers' and 'Scraperfoils'
I just couldnt resist and bought them.
Completed a mini scraperfoil this morning and had to say bloomin loved it.
It wont replace my love of colouring in though but was nice to mix up my creative stuff.
What do you enjoy to express creativity? |

"I draw, and (not to be a total stereotype) I do complex origami.
origami is certainly different.. i cant even make a swan  "
Ha ha, aw, bless you!
Yeah, at high level it gets a bit technical. There're mathematical algorithms and everything. |

I used to do lots of things unfortunately I don't have the attention span, made cards, Easter colours, pottery, flower arranging.
Bit I adored silk painting got really good at it so I could do find colour limes.
I mainly made cards and scarves for people and I'd make pictures out of them and frame them for people. It used to look beautiful. I've still got most of my paints and stuff must not able to do it now |

I embroider, my favourite is doodle embroidery, sew, crochet, do some patchwork and have started collecting driftwood to make picture frames and "stuff" to hang in the garden. I was once a pretty good calligrapher but arthritis in my hands put paid to that.
I'm currently creating a garden with a corner reserved for herbs too.

I make clothing, costumes, and quilts. (Amongst other things). I also sketch.
I used to do photography as my creative outlet, but then I made that my job and had to find something else to keep my brain ticking over. |

I crochet (have done for a very long time), I have a loft full of wool. I colour in, I make books, button and brooch bouquets, anything with buttons actually.
But my favourite (but also the most expensive) I customise Blythe dolls (you'd probably have to Google them), from start to finish. I completely reroot the hair and give them luscious new locks. I carve their faces, give them new eyes and lashes and customise their little faces.
I can't sit still without having something in my hand.
Next project, steampunking nerf guns  |

Colouring, drawing, origami, I once made a heart ornament thing out of copper wire which I really like and is sitting on my book shelf, I made a cushion for my sister, I used to like those foil things but they're so fiddly, jigsaws (although I think 3ftx1ft is a bit big!, painting, there's probably more but I can't think of much |

Ah i love Jigsaws too.. one of the best bits about having a child is all the messy art stuff we do. |

It's gorgeous! I'm up to 18 books and christ knows how many pens & pencils. Though I'm currently concentrating on Enchanted Forest as my mum's bought me Lost Ocean for Easter, which is by the samr woman. |

Mandy does the painting by numbers. She started with the smaller ones and slowly got better and now does the larger ones. She also colours and has slowly developed some skill when it comes to more freehand art. It's amazing how crafting has really returned to many peoples lives.
I am rubbish at any of it to be honest, but I enjoy writing instead and spend a great deal of time using words as an artform.

I just bought it for my mum for her birthday. She doesn't want to colour it though, she wants to scan the designs and embroider them. |

ah that reminds me of Invictus.. he was a forum regular. He was into that "
I love it, just something to try but my Blythe dolls are a bit dark and goth so thought I'd turn my hand to a slightly different style and put a whole outfit together whilst im at it. |

My mum's bought herself Wild Savannah too. I already had Animal Kingdom but she's bought me Tropical Wonderland too, when Aldi had them in for three quid. Gel pens bleed a bit though which has kind of put me off it |

I tend to use the Scribblicious fine liners from The Works - which are really good but the dark shades bleed into others - and my Marco Raffine pencils which are stunning |

Isn't it amazing. He's got a now one coming out soon but I've pinned loads of his stuff so I also print it and colour it. You can buy giant prints of his too. |

" What do you enjoy to express creativity? "
Oooh where to start!!!
I overflow with creativity lol I express it in various ways, in my Music/Drawing/Painting/photography/sewing/felt work/jewelry/Glass work/wire and welding artwork/terrarium arrangements/etc...
I am kinda addicted to creating something everyday 
But I like it that way.
Have fun with your new arty stuff x  |

I sew, I love it. I have made skirts and dresses. I am going to make roman blinds soon as this should be fairly easy. It's so relaxing sitting at a sewing machine |

"I'm not very arts and crafty. I have all the talent of a rock when it comes to anything like that
Make up is creative and arty "
That's another thing I an into, creating different looks with make up. I can completely change the look of my face with contouring, I love it. |

The most i can manage that is craft related is colouring in...but i don't do it that often. I wish i was creative as I'd love to be able to create my own piece of art. |

Ooh, are scraperfoils still around? I used to absolutely love them when I was younger! When my nan died, she had about 20 of them in her house that I'd done and sent to her as presents. My crafty ability now is pretty much zero, I used to do loads as a child though. |
