Hi accoustic man,

Thanks for the welcome,

Actually I do a type of weaving that is used for guiter straps, iif you do want an angora one or seriously  (or just cotton) specially made let me know,  ;

 

[Arad-3]

hey Tullio i'm sure we could whip you up something, but you might want to reconcider about having angora for your guitar strap!  A tight weaved cotton would be more appropriate.  if so, Marlb42 is the one for the job!

Hi Arad-3,

I hope its its okay if I jump in here and tell you about my hobbies, they are real important to me.

Since I was about 5 I have been kniiting and crocheting like crazy, I have made lots and lots of sweaters.

Then about eight years ago I decided that there can be too many sweaters so I have been trying many many things, painting, drawing, quilting, jewelery making, bookbinding, etc,etc but none of these have really stuck and I am trying to find one that will.

I also have been teaching myself to weave and I even now spin and dye my own yarn which I started doing about three years ago.

I am trying to find one or two of these things to really focus on, which I have not been able to do so far,  but I do tend to knit no matter what else i am doing like I always have since I was a child.

I just realized this, another BBM connection to my life, yarn...wool...sheep!!!

I wish I could do something like that so i could make my own clothes etc.. my hobby is music - I play in a brass band - which i love but a useful hobby like yours would also be good.

Hi Arad-3,

Those pictures are gorgeous

Thanks Marlb!  I love to paint so I save allot of pictures that interest me. As I really love to paint landscapes.    Also in the last couple years I have gotten really into photography and try to learn from other peoples work!   I have mostly just worked with local musicians making cd covers and posters but would really love to get into it more professionally sometime.

Hi Kelda and Arad-3

First Kelda I do admire people who can play music.  Unfortunately I have no musical talent at all so I do especially do think it is great to be able to play or sing.

I am sure that you could learn to knit or crochet or sew, I would be happy to teach you but I think that we live a little far from each other

I have been doing this stuff since i was really small, in fact I can only imagine how truly goofy and nerdy I was bringing my crocheting to school with me when I was around 11 and 12, at least I am sure that is what the other kids thought of me then.

But it does make me happy to do it, and I do love to wear things that I made.

Arad-3 That is so wonderful that you paint and have actually done some professional things.  I so wish that I went to art school now.  I have tried to paint every so often in addition to all the other stuff, in fact I have a huge collection of art supplies because I have always loved just to have them also since I was little  but it usually end up going back to my yarn.

Actually somehow getting into BBM these past few weeks has really inspired me to do more 'artistic' things instead of just making practical things, (as well as to seriously try to meet people), so I think I will force myself to finally start taking at least a painting class this spring.

Is some of your work posted here, I am sure it is great!!!

Thanks again, I was so glad to see your replies.

Geri, I didn't know you could paint.

That's wonderful!
