I feel most inspired by nature, I feel, or just one of those times there's some thoughts following an observation or an experience in life, and art is always a good way to express!💛

Hi, Butterfly,
If I have a feeling that I need to let out, I turn to art to express it.
For me, it's most tiny little things and they change from time to time. At the moment, I draw every butterfly I see as a human character.
But mostly I get inspired by people I see on the street or nature.
I really like doing watercolours,and for inspiration I turn to pinterest and some pages on other social media.i love painting flowers and just scrolling through art pages makes me inspired to do it.
I literally Google something, and pick from there😅🙊😬

Sometimes I craft out of necessity. One time, I knitted dresses for my child’s dolls so I wouldn’t have to buy any 😜
That's amazing, I've done something similar for my nieces😅😊

Cool! I like that it doesn’t take as much time as it would a life-size clothings, but I don’t like that it can stretch so much that it can look like holes. I wonder if crocheting is better.
I crochet, it really depends on the type of stitch, yarn quality and needle-thread compatibility and finally the wear and tear. I've crocheted mini gowns, capes and skirts for dolls, as well as life size jackets and ponchos, from what I've seen and know the project really withstands the great trial its put through (if you know what I mean 😜) without much visible holes.
I've tried knitting as well, just the basic purl but my hands started aching real bad and have paused for now, but i really fell in love with the lovely fabric texture😍
I'd say give crochet a shot if you're open to the idea 😉
@YourListener00
Wow, that’s really awesome how much you can do with crocheting- I might give it a try 😀

I've always loved spending time on art and crafts projects. I gain inspiration from day to day life and am most creative when it comes to gifting something to someone, this idea inspires me to find, make and get lost crafting the perfect gift.
@SoulfullyAButterfly I like to paint outdoor scenes. Usually I imagine that I am creating a world where there is no pain or loneliness or problems, and all of the people I think of that could live there are happy. I'm a loving creator, I just wish I could be part of that world.

What a beautiful thought. Have you made you like a serene garden for just the purpose of using it as a Mindfulness garden with all the things you like in it?
@SoulfullyAButterfly I tend to get most in movies, series, music and games. Whether it's original or not, they give you ideas on how to start and complete your craft.
Everything, from scenery, media, and other artists.
