Rodger Pettichord Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 Hi all. I hope you've been following the digital art threads on the Forum. Several of our guys have been sharing digital art they've done, and it is very good. That got me thinking--with the range of education and experience represented here, there must be other well-developed talents among us. And that leads to this week's topic. THIS WEEK'S MEANINGLESS TOPIC: What creative skills or talents have you developed over the years? (I write books) 5
flyingleaf Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 Hmmmm. I do flight simming, but have to admit I do lack the talent to land sometimes. Would it be OK to have a b... now? k 1 4

John Heaton Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 during the discussions on digital Painting - Angelo - a member of the Orbx team - said he used a software named PROCREATION I hadn't heard of the software before - but with 5 kids - and 10 grandchildren - and so far - 9 great Grandchildren - and dozens of paintings I suppose that the talent I had demonstrated best - was PROCREATION - using Digital Hardware - (PC and Brushes - that is !) 6
Rob Abernathy Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 I can make fire with a stick and a string. 2 2
wain71 Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 sadly I don't think I have any creative skills, wife says I can create a mess anywhere (bit harsh), I can run through something in my head but it gets lost in transit to my hands...I do like to cook though and people say what I do cook is very nice, does that count? 2 2

I hated to get that slimy stuff on my hands. On the other hand, I do make FELT HATS. 3 2
Rodger Pettichord Posted March 11, 2023 Author Posted March 11, 2023 Wood carving? Woodworking? Knitting? Musical instrument? Gardening? Smiling? Participating regularly in this thread? 2 2
Rodger Pettichord Posted March 11, 2023 Author Posted March 11, 2023 PS: I don't mean that I can do all the things listed in the post above. I'm just wondering if others do? 2
John York Posted March 11, 2023 Posted March 11, 2023 I used to paint in oils but my wife complained about the smell so I have written and published 6 books instead. Now out of ideas except to irritate Rodger with my correspondence! 1 3 1
Rob Abernathy Posted March 11, 2023 Posted March 11, 2023 Gardening is one of my passions. Here's a pic of part of my backyard. Recreating USA history from the early 1800's is another fun skill. I made most everything in view (clothes, rifle, boxes, chairs, tables, tables, lanterns, etc) 3 3

I can do likewise with flint and steel, but unnecessary because I work in 1830, (A few years later, Rob) and matches were patented in 1817. A bit expensive, but I'm a Hatter, one of the better paying trades, so I can afford it, even if the Mrs. lets the kitchen fire go out entirely! Ken 3 1
