Hi everyone! I enjoy painting mainly with acrylics with an occasional watercolor thrown in. Lately been doing some filet crochet as well.

The filet crochet is a good plot twist. I'm curious how you think about negative space across those two disciplines, one where you're filling it in, one where you're deliberately engineering it. Different processes, but maybe related thinking?

Honestly not quite sure how to answer your question. In thinking about it, I realized I dint really think about it. I just get liat in the zone and it happens. LOL

Hey Sue! 👋 Acrylics and filet crochet is such a good combo, same patience, totally different scale. What pulled you toward the crochet alongside the painting?

Ive always been crafty. Ive crocheted since I was a young child, my mother taught me. Painting started much later in life and honestly it makes my sou feel complete. I guess Im into the fiket crochet because its alsi.making pictures just a different medium.
