Profile Information
- Tell us here... My main art, hobby, craft is ....
- Update coming Soon.
I love pencil drawing, exploring with acrylic paint & abstract, as well as experimenting with paper clay. I also enjoy trying out new (to me) crafts.
Hi,and welcome to Art Hobby Crafts Creative Network, where you can write about your arts and crafts, hobbies etc and create your own art blog, add your creative photos here or hobby videos to help others discover something new, or readers to discover YOU and YOUR art, hobby or craft work..
Here to learn new hobbies? You'll find a range of tutorials by members in the art blogs section and useful 'how to' books on sale in the craft shop area - Craft Books, some being written by AHC Members, and lots more for you to find throughout the site.
If you need any help or have a question, please message me here on Art Hobby Craft.
I started Art Hobby Craft to spread the 'word' about paper clay. Although paper clay has been around for many years, it is still not as widely known about as it deserves to be.
Due to the many questions about other hobbies and crafts that I have received from members, it became clear that there are many people looking for somewhere to learn new hobbies and crafts and Artists and Crafts people wanting share their own artistic knowledge and creative inspiration.
I look forward to getting to know more about you and your art work, craft or hobbies.
enjoy, Diane
