What are y'all working on art-wise?

I hope crocheting counts as art.
I recently made a choker for the first time. No pattern, just made it up as I went along. Unfortunately, it looks like it too lol
But now that I know a little more about what I'm doing, I'm going to try again.

Here's my current choker:

What does everyone else think?

I think it looks nice! I used to knit but I grew bored :lol:

I'm currently working on my piano skills :D

Thank you.
I wish I could figure out knitting, but it boggles my brain.

I love the piano! I wish I could read music and play better.
Much success on your endeavors :)

Nice.

I have done some sewing, make some clothes a while back. Got complements on stuff. Did a little macrome--don't even remember how to spell it. Woodwork, metalwork. Nothing fancy. Crafts actually are a demonstration of what one has learned in the art of thinking.

Right now I have been concentrating on audio-book projects. Did a lot along this line because I wanted to used the finished material for critique, audio-book form. To actually demonstrate the art of critique, how one critiques not by opionion but by rules of art--standards. Opinion means nothing, it is the finding and employing rules of art that I have been centered on. This is why I have done plenty of ebooks and audiobooks for critique, but never have done the critique. It is still all in my head, mostly, because I want to be sure of the principles, and be sure I can explain them adequately.

Ultimately, that is what one strives for--end game, that the results of our expressions--every thought and deed, as a sentient being, is the results of our own craft. We craft our own life.

Hope to see more of your projects, GI Jane. ;)

I've been working on my singing, and on my writing. A ways back I was working on drawing, and I'll get back into it, but right now my mindset is perfect for writing music.

:D ahaha, thanks Flash for the smile and encouragement.
I've not worked on any crocheting lately. I've been too busy cleaning, rearranging and spray painting a wall in my office. I think I still have black paint in my nose lol

What do you write, MindWanderer?

Some poetry and some songs. Mostly messing around. I have a thread in "Artist's Corner" that has a few originals... and I'm working on more today too.

Critique is difficult for me to understand as being artistic. It's too ??? structured? But it's not a topic I know a lot about.
I love poetry. I used to write a lot of poems and a few songs. I'll have to check out the Artist's Corner again. It's been a long time since I've visited.

I broke down and made another choker tonight. I tried working with beads and I really like the finished result. Next time, though, I'm going to use non-magnetic beads lol.

Here it is (the pics crappier than usual :( ):
