Information on Arts

This is a guide to the talent and beauty around us all. This is a doorway into the hidden private world of the artists. Through our search we met potters who helped you feel it, artists who helped you see it, poets who helped you taste it & musicians who helped you hear it. With one voice we thank them all for sharing there own expression of life.

I ASK YOU NOW TO STROLL WITH ME.

I am an Artist who expresses myself in many ways.I am busy at the moment with crochet and would like to teach others this ancient craft. I find it a relaxing and rewarding craft, even do it seems intricket it can be learned. The craft itself can be expensive or inexpensive to take up it is all to do with what you want to achieve. Whether it is a throw over for the bed or an evening dress, a baby bonnett or a cushion cover for that favourite chair. This is one way to relax but I do feel very strongly about using the creative side of our brains. In todays restless world the other skills that I have required such as relationship counsellor, Reiki master and now through using different colours in my crochet has led me on to study colour therapy. All it takes is one step to lead to new steps. It's all up to us as to what we choose to pick up or cast off.
