Primitive Crafts

20 years ago

A BIG Hello to everyone!
I have not been in here since 98-99.

Are there any prim crafters in here??
I do primitive crafts. I make dolls or anything grungy! It is an aquired taste. My DH thinks I am strange. LOL..

    juju,
    Hey, I just happened to pop in here today to see if there were any primitive crafts posted and here your post is! LOL I used to post on here but it was back in about 2001...so I missed you!

    I love primitive and country crafts. I make a lot for myself to decorate the house and do occasional gifts for others.

    I visit another forum over on Delphi a lot with loads of Primitive and Rustic crafters if you're interested in that, too. But like you, I'm curious if others like the same type of crafts here. I think there is one gal with primitive in her name...

    I do! I do! I must have acquired the taste because I love old and rusted. Gives me warm fuzzies! I don't make anything in particular, just a few things for myself and decorate in country prim as much as DH will let me. :) ~Anj

    I also do primitive fabric crafts.What are your favorites? I know some love sheep, teddy bears, dolls, crows... lately I've been making a lot of bunnies. I agree it can be addicting. I think I will try my hand at some painting next!!

    Jean,
    I'll e-mail you the link. I'm not sure how things are now but you used to not be able to link to other sites that were similar to this one ;).

    Mostly all I do now is primitive. I just love it. Prim and Rustic is a great forum. I used to be on this board too. I paid for membership for the first year. crafty12b

    Sweets i would love to get the delphi site link as well. I do love prim. Im a painter mainly wood but I dabble in other surfaces. I have made some prim stuff for friends and a few pieces for myself. Im holding off Until the summer to make more. We are moving in about 3 weeks so I dont want to start. Im afraid I wont be able to stop :0)

    Hi Andrea...welcome!!
    Here is an example of one of the things I make. Love this table that I saw in Country Sampler and made one for myself. The basic construction is like the one in the magazine, but the finish is entirely different....
