Hello fellow Artist and Craftsman, I though we could have a little place to discuss our arts and crafts. We can talk about best practices, new materials we've discover, what techniques work best, sources of inspirations or just about anything you'd like to share about your favorite artistic hobby. Recently, I discovered resist, which is used in watercolors to protect certain areas. It's sort of a gummy substance, you apply it liquid and it dries up, once your painting is dried you can remove it with a rubber eraser and expose the white. This is my first attempt using the resist, I think it went pretty good although the picture I took isn't that great. I was at a meeting a few weeks ago and got so board that I drew this, I think it's some kind of robot:

Love that watercolor you did moiaf - really beautiful work! I doodle a lot like your 'robot' sketch but I'm very rusty on my art skills and was only ever a mediocre artist in school. I should really try to pick it back up for therapy haha.

I should really try to pick it back up for therapy haha. You should try adult coloring books. They are absolutely stunning. I don't use them often because they have a lot of detail and I have very poor eyesight.But you should really give them a try.

@fireandblood - how is your knitting going? Are you still doing it? I am! I should post a picture of my scarf - I love it! But sadly the weather turned shortly after I finished so I haven't had much chance to wear it.

But sadly the weather turned shortly after I finished so I haven't had much chance to wear it. You should definable post a picture. And while you wait for winter to come you can knit yourself a hat or a sweater if you really want to branch out. I bought a class on Craftsy.com to learn how to kit lase. I'm hoping to start it in July.

They really are lovely and supposedly quite therapeutic for 'grown-up' mind zen. I will give it a try!

I am currently trying to do more handlettering. It is so cool to create your own fonts! I also want to try brushlettering.

Are you learning on your own or are you taking a class? I'm just doodling with my usual supplies (sign pens, sharpies and copics), because I don't want to invest in the equipment yet. Mostly during boring classes or when I have some time off between them.

I love the drawings, moiaf ! I've always wanted to be able to draw. Stick figures are about my limit, and I fuck even them up.

moiaf, have you ever thought of using resist on silk? It is the same process. You apply the resist then the dye and finally, you either iron it off with layes of paper or boil it off. It makes very similar results and some amazing fabric. (I'm a textile artist) Here's a few things I've done...these are ice dyed scarves. These are acid dyed

These are acid dyed I've actually never worked with any sort of textile, I'm a bit afraid to do it. These look absolutely gorgeous, a lot the bright colors and I'm also a bit scarf obsesses. Do you work with other kinds of textiles?

I quilt and also paint on cotton. Where are you located in the world? Here's a 'cave painting' I did in textile paints on cotton.

Here's a quilt that I made...I tie dyed the fabric and then cut it for the blocks. My niece carried this one to college with her.
