So instead I'll share some creativity with you, diversions can sometimes really help, when the going gets tough. Here are some things of current interest Paper Making 3D makes, pop up projects A craft forum Paper Making When I am feeling stressed, I like to watch ASMR videos, as they help me feel calmer. This led me to some new channels and an interest in making paper. I've created a new page, to gather information about it, the page is called; Handmade Paper Making, and you can find it here https://billiescraftroom.wordpress.com/handmade-paper-making-at-home/ 3D Makes Another bunch of videos Im exploring are about making Pop up projects. As a visual learner, I much prefer to watch someone do this, rather than try to figure out written explanations. Found some great videos on You Tube. Here is one by Lindsay the Frugal Crafter, where she shows how to make a sampler book of 14 different kinds of pop ups for books or cards https://youtu.be/Nt550Oa2AEk Pop-Up Tutorial 1 - Introduction – Materials and Basic Theory https://youtu.be/aGJZbNh9Phs this one is by The Pop-Up Channel https://www.youtube.com/@thepop-upchannel4919 Hope to make a page for this topic at some point Craft Forum Having missed the community of a craft forum for a long time, and not being a fan of social media groups, I explored a link found in a crafting magazine and found, Craft World https://craftworld.com/home They are all really friendly and encouraging. So talented, so much inspiration. Glad I treated myself to some craft magazines from Craft Stash, who have frequent special offers on all kinds of things including magazines. https://www.craftstash.co.uk/ If you are blessed with internet access, the video streaming sites are one way to watch craft, when you can't create in person. If you are blessed with a craft stash of products, gathered over the years, this is definately the time to stash dive, with what you have, isn't it. Take care, stay safe and take things five minutes at a time, when they get tricky. May the year ahead, be as kind to you as possible.
