I’m a “dabbler”. We could have club of dabblers! Dabblers Anonymous? I already feel better about myself. I’ve often said I want to do everything at least once. I’m still working on it. That’s okay…I’m a dabbler!

It’s ok to dabble so instead of being critical of my jumping from one thing to another, I can now begin to enjoy the ‘doing’. Thanks.

I’m a long term dabbler who feels I’m not accomplishing anything of my own. I love and admire the work of so many others and am constantly fearful of thinking I am just copying them even though I know my work will never be an exact copy. But by dabbling and studying the work of others I have discovered a lot about my own creative preferences.

An example is the stitching on leaves. I was lucky to have some flowers delivered with enormous eucalyptus leaves as background. These were a joy to embellish, every time I made a stitch the smell of the eucalyptus was wonderful, and connected me to my family in Australia. Who would think a leaf could do that! A very satisfying dabble.

In my case, PRODUCTION beats PLAY far too often. Thanks for this inspiration to dabble.

Ho sempre avuto molte attenzioni e curiosità sul mondo del cucito ,delle stoffe e dei filati in genere ,ma anche su tutto ciò che mi apriva la mente su mondi completamente diversi. Grazie a tante esperienze lavorative diverse ho imparato a viverle attivamente e trasferirle nella pratica quotidiana.
La professione di insegnante nella scuola dell’infanzia, ha riempito questa carica espressiva e creativa , fornendomi gli input necessari per rendere ogni creazione più elementare possibile e soprattutto per comprendere quanto sia importante in questo mondo super tecnologico ,aiutare il bambino ad una manipolazione diretta di tanti materiali e di strumenti idonei allo sviluppo creativo .
Penso dunque che il vostro corso e le esperienze di vari artisti qui riportati, siano la conferma che la creatività è insita nell’uomo ,come facoltà che vuole essere sviluppata ,incoraggiata e valorizzata ,perché essa diventa un canale di espressione personale e realizza tutto un potenziale intellettivo importantissimo .

When working with certain subject matter, it really helps to have all those options, which are provided by having explored so many techniques and materials. I love to approach my textile projects with an open mind with regards to media and technique. Of course i have my favourites, but that is where personal style naturally starts to evolve.

It was more than 50! Today I found out that I am just a long term dabbler. Without trying some of these crafts or techniques, I would not be making what I am making today. This article made me feel better. I’m not a failure in a lot of things, I am simply learning my own personal visual vocabulary. I will continue to combine ideas, styles and techniques to become the artist I’m meant to be!

Thank you so much for this article!

I have been struggling with a new direction . . . your article lets me off the hook! I just have to start . . . Thank you!
