In accordance with a brilliant idea from the higher-ups, I've decided to, from now on, dedicate my personal gallery here to Craftsmanship in order to be a more relevant, and hopefully inspiring, gallery host to you all.
Note, that the first wave of CS items I'm going to submit are older pieces, so please forgive that they may not be all that splendid.
I also felt it may help if you guys knew a bit of my background since so much of my posted work-to-date here has been 2-D conventional and digital work.
Basically, I worked on all kinds of art from age 4 up until my senior year of high school. During that senior year, I took both advanced 2-D and 3-D art. Though I greatly enjoyed 3-D art, I didn't know that I could make much of a career out of it, so in college, I majored in illustration whilst continuing my 3-D studies via various electives there. I worked in a variety of Craftsmanship-type media then - metal sculpture, scratchboard, terra cotta and porcelain work, papercrafting, some book-binding, and even some small-scale model fashion design and creation. Once out of college, I started working at a craft store while building up my freelance illustration/comic work. I eventually became the event coordinator at said craft store and have learned almost more there than I did at college. In addition to teaching all of the children's crafting classes, I also create seasonal displays (like a recent one of pumpkin carving/crafting for halloween) and also host and demonstrate various crafting events involving beading, scrapbooking, yarn craft (still working on actually learning to knit and crochet though!..), floral design, and some cake decorating (though now, the actual cake decorating instructors we have usually take over those..) I am also planning to get back into sculpture soon - though this time, I am working with sculpey (for lack of kiln and non-polymer clay...) though I also hope to get into silver crafting soon as a once-fellow employee at the store taught me how.. it's just a matter of being able to afford the material cost of working in silver.. heheh.
Anyways - there's a bit more information about my experience so you can know your friendly neighborhood Craftsmanship Gallery moderator -does- actually know a thing or two about.. well.. Craftsmanship. : )
*Hugs all!*
