Ciao mystery poet, you now have 3 votes.


What a delightful read!

I love art projects. I draw and about 20 odds years ago I started to do Pyrography artwork.

For months I hesitated like you but one day I went out and bought the kit and started decorating wooden boxes , frames etc.

I love working in winter.
I do wildlife and flora subjects.

I'm so glad you pressed that button , looking forward to seeing your first piece.

I bought a book on glass etching and there was a chapter on stained glass and lead.

Another art I love is mosaic.

I'm so glad you enjoyed! I've always thought pyrography was fascinating - maybe that should be on my bucket list to learn! I want to try some etching though, I thought it might be pretty to add some of that to my glass work! I'm also a big fan of flora/fauna as inspiration - I think a lot of my stained glass work will have flowers and plants as inspiration. I hope you have an amazing rest of your week, :)
Best,
Videl

pyrography is a bit tiring on the eyes and your hand aches after a 2/3 hour session but I love it.

To do fur and feathers takes time , flowers are less work.

There are so many types of art to choose from , they are all exciting ,so pick one and start ! 😝

Ciao !🍀

Very thoughtful and perfect for the chaotic world we live in. I especially appreciate the last stanza and its gift of self-appreciation. Good luck in the contest and have a great week. Stay well.

I loved your poem. The way you describe taking steps toward a new hobby is inspiring. Overall I found your poem to be a powerful reminder that we can take charge of our lives. We can pursue our passions. It doesn't matter how distant they might seem. I love that. This is a wonderful poem to read!

Hi
This is a good poem that reminds us that sometimes we should try things out of our comfort zone or what we think is our level of artistry or creativity. We need to live our lives to the fullest while we are here.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great day.
Joan
