Show your artistic talent

Show your artistic talent

I'm hoping to see some of HL folks artistic side. This is not my work but my partners. It's a stained glass mosaic that was almost finished when Cecil the lion was killed. The piece is named in his honor.


Wow, that's beautiful! What talent!


Wow amazing - your partner is talented

That is such an amazing work of art! I would give anything to be able to create something like that... Not only is it aesthetically beautiful, but the fact that it was done in his honor just so lovely. I am a very big animal person, so this piece has true meaning to me. Exquisite.

Thanks all for your kind words. My partner has pretty amazing talent and skills. Every time I think I can't be more impressed they do something else. Some of their skills are; painting houses, carpentry work, masonry, electrical, plumbing, engine repair, can change rotors and brakes, soldering. And of course stained glass. Many more beautiful prices. You get the idea. I always say it seems like if someone has talent they have all the talent!

Anyway, I'm also amazed that no one else on HL has anything they wish to share? Surely there's something beautiful to show whether it be a wonderful hooked rug or a wood carving using a chainsaw. I know I've seen some wonderful photographs on here. Oh well.


Beautiful.

Very nice. I am the most non-artistic person ever. I can't even make a straight line with a ruler.

That is really beautiful.....I can't even draw stick figure people.

I think the most artistic thing I've done is built a waterfall in my backyard

That's not true, Nosila. I've seen some beautiful photographs you've taken.

Re: Show your artistic talent

I agree with Tracy. I've seen beautiful pictures from Nosila and someone with the handle fujitx1 or something like that.

Here's another sample.


Omg that is gorgeous!! Love love love.

Are these made and kept, or are any ever sold?

Re: Show your artistic talent

So far they've only been made to keep or give as a present. Each one is like a child so it's hard to let go of them. I'm so glad that I posted them and getting such positive feedback, my partner doesn't realize how wonderful each piece is! Here's a Tiffany reproduction of Black Eyed Susan lamp. my partner is busy just now for the holidays but may take requests on commission after the new year.


I can see why it would be difficult to part with such beautiful creations. I guess because of the times, I can't help but wonder what your partner's interpretation of our American Flag would look like. I still see it as strong and regal inspite of the storm...

Re: Show your artistic talent

Thanks! Not my creation of course but my partners. I’m disappointed though that no one else has posted their own artistic flair. Just makes it look like I just like bragging about my partner (which I do) but c’mon nobody here has talent? My exe’s mother used to do “hooking”, he he as in rug hooking and had professional photos taken and submitted to magazines. Actually got some posted and won awards.

Kudos to Maryann for her writing talent!


The extent of my creativity is scrapbooking. RAS, your partners stained glass is gorgeous!

You are obviously very talented Eperot...Beautiful job on both the painting and the interior house project. I used to do all sorts of crafting and ceramics and dabbled in some painting as well...now in my senior years I am back to writing both poetry and children's short stories just for my own enjoyment right now...

Here's another angle. The cabinetry and curved trim was a challenge but turned out.

Eperot,
What a beautiful room! I can imagine how peaceful it would feel to sit there and read with a nice cup of tea. What an accomplishment to go from before to after.

Re: Show your artistic talent

Peacefinder- somehow you painted the soul into their eyes, beautiful! My daughter would love that so so much! She has a pug and a jug.

I can't paint or draw, but recently took up weaving. These are some towels I just finished.

Littlelu....the throw is just beautiful!! My Mother used to do a lot of crochetting, tatting and needlepoint and artwork years ago before she passed away. I have a lot of her artistic talents in my home on display to this day and can now look at them every day and remember and appreciate the amount of time and love she put into making these for me..

Love that pattern littlelu! Beautiful, detailed work. I recently joined a fb group for Swedish Weaving but no idea how it's done. So far I've just been admiring all of the beautiful work that people share.

Your towels, hktownie are probably done the same way, just on a smaller scale....one up, two over, one down. lol
