I would like to start a thread for everyone on here who likes to create. I know that a lot of you like to write and draw. Well, not only would I like this to be the place where we link to our stories or pictures, but to discuss the creative process itself.
I also want this to be a place for all types of creations: handcrafts, sewing, woodworking, historical costuming, jewelry-making, smithing/metal-working, toy-making, calligraphy, photography, amateur film-making, acting, ect...(I'm sure you guys can think of some I've left out). I have always been a creative person and I would like to make this thread for like-minded friends.
I thought some topics to discuss could include the writing/designing process, projects we are currently working on, what was it like to be a creative child and how to develop creativity in children, teaching others who would like to learn our craft, our favorite projects that we've made, and more (whatever you guys can think of). Of course this is also the place to post pictures of your projects thoughout their creation and when they are finished. Stories and pictures in progress could also be posted here or linked to if the artist wishes for input or ideas. This could also be the place to go if you are having writer's block (or any artistic block) to talk about your difficulty.
These are just some ideas I have for this thread. Everyone who wants to participate could add anything else they want to discuss. Everyone is welcome, even people who aren't artistic. I think we could also talk about art in general, and eveveryone has an opinion on that! I doubt I am the only artisic person on the board and I hope all of you guys join me for discussion and fun.
