Welcome to Art Hobby Craft : What Inspires you?
Profile Information
- Tell us here... My main art, hobby, craft is ....
Hi, I started Art Hobby Craft to spread the 'word' about paper clay. Although paper clay has been around for many years, it is still not as widely known about as it deserves to be.
Due to the many questions about other hobbies and crafts that I have received from members, it became clear that there are many people looking for somewhere to learn new hobbies and crafts and Artists and Crafts people wanting share their own artistic knowledge and creative inspiration.
You can do that here. So please don't be shy, get stuck in, write about your arts and crafts, hobbies etc and create your own art blog, add your creative photos here or hobby videos to help others discover something new, or readers to discover YOU and YOUR art, hobby or craft work..
Here to learn new hobbies? You'll find a range of tutorials by members in the art blogs section and useful 'how to' books on sale in the craft shop area - Craft Books, some being written by AHC Members, and lots more for you to find throughout the site.
If you need any help or have a question, please message me here on Art Hobby Craft.
I look forward to getting to know more about you and your art work, craft or hobbies.
enjoy, Diane

Kimberly Michelle Linn said… - I added a picture to my profile of the type of flowers I make. I love the nylon flowers. I also just figured out how to braid wire and make cute rings. I got bored at work and I tinkered with the wire I was using for my nylon flowers and after a while of trial and error made a beautiful ring. I will post a pic soon.

Jason Leitman said… - Thanks so much Diane - It is a pleasure! Your network looks wonderful. Thanks for the Crohn's mention - very much appreciated. I actually started to teach myself graphic design from a program at a half price book store. Creating CDSN there was a need for creating logos and group avatars. I can not draw a stick person to save my life, but I do enjoy working on the computer.
Look forward to connecting with other artists. My really good friend Amanda is an artist. I plan on letting her know about this great community.
Best Wishes,
Jason
