Sometimes I want to do something, keep my hands occupied, but I’m arted out, so I settle down to do a bit of crafting. Art is hard work for me, crafting, like baking, is very relaxing. I made a stack of origami lilies which will end up on a string of LED lights as fairy lights. I got the instructions from the new BBC series, MAKE! Craft Britain where this guy demonstrated a couple of different origami models. Just after I photographed them, Sparta Puss threw them on the floor. Because that’s what cats do.

I'm an artist / printmaker / scribbler. I love drawing and all the geeky stuff associated with printmaking, working in a figurative style. I live in Wales with husband and demented cats. And my real name is Rose Davies :D View more posts
Yup, you got the work quotient of the two activities in the proper order. My college roommate decades ago taught me how to make an origami swan, and wonder of wonders, I still remember!
Oh it’s such good fun. I made a leaping frog, took ages but it was lovely. Then Sparta Puss got her paws on it and it disappeared.
I totally agree with you, art is hard, hard work; craft is for fun!
