Fives

If you don't want to do all 5, pick one or two! I'll go first:)

What are your 5 favorite art works? Have you seen them in person? Do you have plans to?
And I mean art in a very broad sense here.

The pyramids-- seen them three times-- worth seeing
The Great Wall of China-- no plans to see it, but would like to
The Taj Mahal-- no plans to see it, but would like to
Anything by Van Gogh-- seen several, worth seeing
Dali's Persistence of Memory-- seen it, but wasn't much more impressed by it in person than I am by it in a picture

What are 5 crafts you couldn't live without? Have you done them? Any good?
Jewelry Making-- yes and yes
Carving-- yes and no and I have the scars to prove it.
Glasswork-- not really, though I've played with frits and enamels, and no
Metalwork-- coldforging and PMC only, decent at simple wirework
Sewing-- yes and not bad

What are 5 crafts you'd like to learn? Have you ever tried them? Will you?
Lampwork-- no, maybe
Mosaics-- no, maybe
Metalwork-- in a very limited fashion, but I'd like to do more, maybe someday
Stained glass-- no, probably not
Weaving-- I had a three minute 'lesson', probably not

What are 5 arts and crafts you've tried that weren't for you?
Needlework
Carving
Calligraphy
Painting
Music

What are 5 things you aim for with your art/craft?
Individuality
Humanity
Wearability
Harmony
Primitivity

Your turn! If you can't do all five just pick one or two!

  5. I'll post it on mine too! I love posts like that when they're all about crafts! I see question/answer posts on social networks like myspace all the time, but when they're on craft blogs, I can't resist re-posting them :-)
