[Nfb-krafters-korner] WelcomeBeth

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

No affence anyone, but I like crafts that are not messy and can go where ever I go.  I take my crafts to work, every day.  Just to day, I took on the chalange, to see if I could knit on the shuddle bus to main campus.  When my husband was with me, a lot of the time, I would work on my plastic canvis in the car.  I think Laurie has said she takes her beading with her.  I can not imagine doing that yet.  To many pieces to keep track of.   
Looking forward to convention and being to show off my work.
A friend at work, helped me start a portfolio of pictures of my work.  I had already started a tactual one.  

Since I will not be here on Friday, I want to start a new question.
This subject came up The Monday before you started on the last dish cloth.  

How do you come up with new ideas or designs?

What started this is, I was telling everyone about a new shower kertin I had gotten.  It is a sea design and each picture is in a frame.  Each frame is not stacked, but like in a zig, zag design.  If you look at one picture and move strait up you are seeing the edges of 2 and a gap where they connect.

I had done a design with just squares, then I added, what I call, criss cross lines, like the lines of graph paper.  So why not make the squares like on the kertin.  I would call them zig, zag squares with seperating lines.  I am also going to do it with out the lines.  Different sized squares need to be used to make this balance out. 

I am also working on making a ripple design.  I thought of that a long time ago, but never took on the chalange.
I got half of one side of an eye glass case done, so far.
Sure is pretty, in royal and periwinkle.

Hi Lynda, it sounds like you do well with the pottery. I've never used a potter's wheel if that's what it's called. I sure would like to try though.
