Perhaps the family artistic talent percolated into a different creative form? Now they are both fathers, the portraits they 'snap' of their children are definite keepers. <br />Alison Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07101217971756114754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-17607172763450346632018-10-16T12:40:06.003+11:002018-10-16T12:40:06.003+11:00I can draw a bit... but it requires time and appli...I can draw a bit... but it requires time and application to master (neither of which I have). Unfortunately I am finding my eye sight is now no longer able to manage the fine cross stitch.

My daughter is a photographer, I've learnt so much from her but my photos will never be the same as hers! I have some of her photos hanging on my walls at home. Painting is not my thing, but I love art and looking at it and also hanging it on my walls - such a gift to the world to enjoy. I also love sewing, quilts are amazing but I haven't got the skill or patience to make one. I cross-stitch instead, which I find soothing and something lovely happens when you finally finish - a gift, or another creation for the walls...! I need more walls...! Thankyou girls for sharing. I think we all need to dip into our creative wells at times, and your wonderful creativity shows in not only your hobbies but your wonderful writing. Kudos to you all.Malvinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01643063300200396369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-64777259677228394142018-10-15T19:44:22.784+11:002018-10-15T19:44:22.784+11:00I've never been able to draw but my daughter i...I've never been able to draw but my daughter is good and my father is also very good artist, even if he prefers to make his garden his art these days.Cassandra Samuelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818025453828445251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-22346828118915170512018-10-15T19:43:05.765+11:002018-10-15T19:43:05.765+11:00My mother is a quilter too so I know how much work...My mother is a quilter too so I know how much work goes into them.

All worth it, though, when they turn out so beautifully.

I'm more into cross stitch and tapestry, making pretty pictures in that way because I have no drawing talent.Enisa Hainesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-32108983815873168442018-10-15T13:22:54.013+11:002018-10-15T13:22:54.013+11:00No, yours has just taken a different form!
