Which craft amazes you ?

21 years ago

All of us crafters are alike - we go to a craft fair and see something and we whisper "I can make that ".Right ?

Have you ever come across any craft that has you in awe ?

(How'd they do that ?) I remember one booth had all kinds of containers made out of cement ( I actually think it was hypertufa) and flowers growing out of everything. She had ladies shoes - hats - purses - kid's overalls - men's boots .... every type of container you can think of.Her display was awesome ! Have you come across anything that you remember as being really cool ?

Quilting always catches my eye. Even though I am a quilter, I consider myself to be an amateur. I am in awe of some of the detailed work people do.

Stained glass...so beautiful/intricate/colorful...I am in awe!!
However, I am mostly in awe of people and the bazillions of things that they can THINK of and then ACCOMPLISH!!! I look on here and think how in the world did they DO that!!
And then look at the folks like RedConfetti who can find ANYTHING on the internet, and I do well just doing email!!
You all are phenominally talented!!

I was amazed by a woman at a craft fair who oil painted on large black & white photographs. They were just gorgeous. Each flower petal and leaf had a build up of color on the edges. Every interesting detail was accented with the paint.

I saw this technique demonstrated by Cristin Atria on DIY. This is one of her painted photographs. Check out her website... she uses ceiling tin to frame a lot of her paintings.

People that can design things like this listing on Ebay.
I have been sewing for a long, long time, but am not that creative. I just sew....this gal 'designs'
This is incredible.

That dress is beautiful, but the little model really makes that dress! Jenni, I just sew too, not a designing thread in my body!

Isn't she cute WilliamsburgJane?
To be able to create that dress and have it so perfect for that little girl.
She almost looks like what you would imagine Scarlett looked like as a child.
There is talk on the Ebay Boutique Designers Board that this may well be a record breaking auction.
Gonna be interesting to see what someone is willing to pay for this.

Yes, she is a perfect little model for a "young" Scarlet. I'll have to follow the auction and see what it goes for too. I am a Ebay-a-holic! :o)

I always envy people who can do oil or acrylic paintings.I have watchen them at work,and wish that I were so talented.
I've often thought of taking a course in oils,but have just never gotten around to it.
