...ooops, forgot to add this but will add it to this post thus distracting from all in the post prior, but hey ho: one more thing... ((you know how the apple fanboy always saves a cool thing for last with a white text on black slide?))
I add this with a mixture of fear and trepidation, as well as a little pride for reasons that will become apparent in a second.
I'm very lucky enough to be married to someone who is a talented artist and creative person. SHe always deflects this, because I can 'draw' in a more conventional sense she always dismisses her artworks as less useful or 'arty' but, as the picture'll prove, wifey's artwork is, often, far better than mone and certainly more popular :( Hence the hesitation in mentioning it. The last time I big upped her work it proved so much more popular than the stuff I was doing I wanted to move to a tent in Wales and forget about it all :)
Anyhow: wifey has been getting more and more into sock characters (take a sock, make a character). (Hence name). She was into amigurumi (sp?) for a while but this seems to have taken over. Pix added show the skills and how cool they look.
They do look very groovy and are some of my favourite things :) as is wifey herself. Now if I could just persuade her that she is an artist...
Hmmm maybe I should have added a sock character to the parcels/quote begging letters... Ah well, too late now.
