DIY Crafty Fun & Crafters on the Todooo app!

Actually, what this group excels at, is wholesome, hart-warming craft stories. The senior feline who still takes his duties as quality inspector and emotional support animal very seriously. A teen entrepreneur struggle against bullies while she works magic with her crochet needle. Stories about the husbands who are heroes (and the ones who aren't). Craft projects that work quietly in the background to preserve family memories for future generations. Meet the dog who has his own honor wall. The people who discovered the fire of creativity late in life but wouldn't let go of it again. Who repurpose found objects into accessories. Patients who craft rehabilitation and recovery into their creations. How a doctor uses art to inject warmth into his treatments. How someone rediscovered a lost family treasure in a thrift store. If this group is anything to go by, then Todooo is definitely doing something right with the commerce platform and global community they created for creators and craft fans.

Mixed Media & Mixed Medium Art

A fusion of styles and inspirations. A bright and unexpected explosion of color. Found objects meeting paint and canvas. A few staves of sheet music peeking out from behind the colored folds of an imagined lady. New life growing in the heart of vintage elements. Black and white photographs. Re-purposed buttons. Art becomes so much more dynamic when it moves out of the confines of its framing. A unique energy dances across the pages when multiples blend into one. As I scroll through the creations of group members at Mixed Media & Mixed Medium Art, delight sits frequently on my shoulders, tugging at the corners of my mouth. It is easy to smile, in the presence of so much creativity. So much beauty. Visit often and stay inspired.

Handmade Craft Ideas

If it were possible to squeeze a thousand crafters from all around the world into one space to showcase their work, the result would probably be something similar to this delightful Facebook group The featured posts include a vast variety of styles and disciplines, ranging from gorgeously crafted dog collars, colorful felt slippers and crocheted animals (the real deal, NOT AI!!!) to leather vambraces and even a one-in-a-million stratocaster guitar. There are quirky Christmas decorations, jolly gingerbread men and bespoke gift ideas, as well as custom denim jackets, knitted socks, shawls, jewelry, painted pebbles and even an art project featuring a recycled doll's head. It really is a celebration of creativity and inspiration.

A Gathering of Crones... Reoccupying archetypes of the mature feminine

As a mature woman well on the way to cronedom (or is it cronehood?), I am already enthralled by this Facebook group's name. So naturally, I had to investigate. And I was not disappointed. One of the very first posts, contained a ode to the wonders of feminine solidarity. The community celebrates creativity and wisdom. It's a wonderful, wonderful space. Recognize those little flints of yourself in snapshots, cats, woods and hedges, quotes, artwork and so much more that puts women of a certain age at the heart of the universe, where they undoubtedly belong. Discover the magic that hides inside everyday things. By random chance, my visit coincided with the Wednesday Crones Bazaar Day event.

I AM AN ARTIST

 I really enjoyed visiting the I AM AN ARTIST Facebook group, and many of the images made me even happier. While there are a few works in more unusual media (such as machine embroidery), the majority of the posted art can be described as either drawings or paintings. I found that the standard of work was quite high and there are tips in the comments. Some pieces obviously represents many hours of work, as well as a lifelong dedication to the improvement of the craft and I felt honored to be able to see it. A few works featured personal themes or subjects - such as portraits of pets or family members. When you post, you can reach out to other members to critique your work, but there is a strong emphasis on keeping this a safe space to share art. The group excels at being nurturing and supportive. It's proof positive that art and talent transcends all boundaries. Kudos to creator Liam Constable for fostering such an awesome community.
