I love to create, do you?
Hello there everyone, here is my first journal here and I thought I would make it about what I love the most, the urge to create
I have loved to create things for as long as I can remember and am now a harder of hobbies, anyone else? My most visited creative mediums are, drawing/painting, knitting, crochet, sewing and baking. Though I do and have experimented with a lot of mediums as I took fine art in university, I will have to search the dark depths of my computer at a later date to find pics of my old uni work
So now you know a bit about why I am here this is my question to you, do you love to create? If the answer is yes then show me what you do, whether it is one thing or many go for it I want to see it.
ONLY ONE RULE NO +18 IMAGES I would like this to be an all age friendly journal please and thank you.
Anyway here is some pics that I have of what I like to do, these are examples and not everything I have done I will add more in the future

I love to create, do you?
I hardly ever talk about myself, but I am inspired to answer you.HikariDream wrote: ↑18 Jul 2021, 14:50this is my question to you, do you love to create? If the answer is yes then show me what you do, whether it is one thing or many go for it I want to see it.
I have described my being as someone driven to make things, which makes sense since every toy I had growing up was a building toy (legos, knex, erector sets). My mom did that on purpose. She was arts and craftsy herself and I got into a lot of weird shit like basket making that only lasted like two months lol. In the distant past I did do physical art, so in a parallel world I imagine I'd have ended up on the same path as you. But I lost patience for that. I used to do GFX (viewtopic.php?f=65&t=117917), which is artistic in the same way making a collage is artistic, but I lost patience for that too. I guess I still do it once in a blue moon, though it's mostly simpler stuff now. I remember spending 9 hours straight in photoshop back in 2010 or so. Probably never again.
I used to write a lot more, too, but I also lost patience for that. Making art is mentally tiring. I wrote a scifi novel in high school but since then it's only the short story very occasionally. Hmm. I guess I have a link for one or two of those too.
Oh damn, they're in the archive and you have to log in to access that.
Actually most of the things I could show are posts in the archive. Oh well.
No, not oh well. I'm gonna take this opportunity to bring all my archived creations into the main forum. It'll prevent them from being lost if the archives go down.
Look at you, inspiring (or something) enough to make me decided what to do with the first hour of my day.

Anyway, being someone driven to create is still true. I became a software engineer because of it.
Here's something I'm the project lead on:
https://shaappt.cxmflow.com/index.html
Most of my projects aren't public-facing websites, but that's one that is. And actually I hate styling websites. I didn't make it look it like that. My work is making it...work. I like making things work in clever ways. It's probably strange to hear that it's creative, but engineering really is. And unlike making what you'd really call art, it's not mentally tiring to me. I'm always especially excited about making the next neat tool for the other people I work with. I ended up in exactly the right place.

This is amazing and I am glad I inspired you to talk about your crafts. Creativeness comes in all forms not just art, though really I would consider most things that people make with their own hands to be art even, as you said, engineering. I loved looking through your stuff also, I like seeing what others can do especially when it is something I can't do or haven't done, for example if you tried to get me to do engineering or carpentry and I would probably not be very good I know if I put my mind to it I probably could but dyslexic brain says no, love looking at it and watching it but doing is a whole other thing
I am happy I inspired you though, being an inspiration to each other is one of the things that help those creative juices flow, that and general conversation, that is what I hope for this journal
