At last I am posting the "surprise" that I had promised to a number of you almost three weeks ago!

This is a tribute to "The Artist in you!" thread as started by firmbeliever, who is a member of this site. Although that thread started as being only about art in the visual sense on flat surfaces, it quickly evolved into including art concerning music, crafts, literary, furniture refinishing/restoration, woodcuts, photography, and that which concerned the theatrical arts. All of those types of art can overlap with and also compliment each other.

Because of the popularity of that thread and quality of various kinds of art that have been posted on it, I thought that it would be fitting to have some kind of index to it. Having something like that would be beneficial to the fine artists who have posted images on it who might want to cite references to what they have already done when helping other persons on other art type threads. I know that it has already happened where an artist who did post images on "The Artist in you!" thread was trying to tell someone where they had posted something on it, but couldn't remember where they had. Having this type of index should help. It would also be beneficial to have an index by subject of that thread. But, that would be something to be made on another thread.

This is still a work in progress, but I figured that I had better post something really soon before I leave for a few days for a three day gig and don't have any access to the Internet. It will still take some time to really complete it. I have already contacted all of those who have contributed images to that thread that this index has been made. Please let me know if what has been described about your art on a particular link could be worded better in some way and/or if a link doesn't work You could let me know in a reply on this thread or in a private message if you think something needs to be changed in some way.

If you would like to still comment on art that you might find on a particular link, please feel free to do so on this thread.

Thank you!

Clough

Thank you for working so hard on this "surprise" Clough. There have been numerous times when I have wanted to share some of the art work on this thread with a friend who was visiting in my home only to go through page after page and not be able to locate the ones I wanted to share. I know this has taken a great deal of your time to do and I appreciate it so much!

I sure miss the little community that had formed on this thread. I miss everyone!

Thanks again for taking your time to put this together!

WOW!
Clough, thank you for all that you have done to make this such a wonderful surprise.

This is indeed the best way to present the Artist thread.:)

Wow Clough awesome! You should prob link my art thread instead of the old artist in you one, has more drawings :) and if we count poems, my Valentines Day poem could go too

I agree, this is awesome, Clough. I've only had a chance to look at a few of the artist's works and they were all wonderful. I look forward to seeing the rest.

Wow Clough awesome! You should prob link my art thread instead of the old artist in you one, has more drawings :) and if we count poems, my Valentines Day poem could go too

It's done! :) Can be changed to how you might like for it to be listed, though!

Wow, jrebel7, I just saw some of your portraits done in pencil and an incredibly beautiful coloured picture of a table painted with flowers... they're superb...

I just sent the following private message to a number of people on this site who might have an interest in what is going on here.



Concerning "The Artist in you!" - Indexed by Artist Thread

Dear AKaeTrue, BiWiccanAndProud, bushg, cal823, chek101, clafairey, CMM_Kaleido, Delow84, erlobenauer, firmbeliever, frangipanis, grammadidi, HistorianChick, jrebel7, kp2171, METERRE, sGt HarDKorE, startover22 and templelane,

This is also being sent to some art enthusiasts above, who may not have posted their works, but have nonetheless been enthused about the thread.

Some of you knew that I have been preparing a "surprise" as a tribute to "The Artist in you!" thread. It is now posted on the following link: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/art/art...st-199144.html (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/art/artist-you-indexed-artist-199144.html) I just wanted you to be aware that the thread has been started.

However, it's not complete, nor perfect and will need some tweaking. It is meant to be a permanent index for that thread. The next index that might be coming concerning it would be a topical index.

If you had posted works and I have described your works and posted a link underneath the description, please, by all means correct me or let me know that you would like to have it described in some different way. I can change things... You could let me know on the thread or in a private message.

Also, please let me know if any links on the thread do not work

I will be gone for the next several days to play a gig in another city and most likely won't have any access to the Internet, just to let you know.

Thank you, kindly!

Clough


I do want to emphasize that I would appreciate it if you would correct me with what I have posted already. Also, firmbeliever and grammadidi, I would appreciate it if if you would let me know how you would like your works on your links described. Your descriptions would do much better justice to what you have posted than my descriptions would. It would be good to keep things in the same, general format though.

Thank you!

Clough very nice job and it makes it so much easier to go back and find art that I want to show someone else.

Clough, wow, this is so amazing. You took all that time, you are AMAZING!
I have tears in my eyes, I haven't posted any art here (I will) but when I come into the artist in you thread, I feel you all, I see what you have done, I hear the messages, I saw friendships grow through art of many sorts. This is the most wonderful thoughtful gesture!
Clough thank you very much, I now get to see it all! This is just wonderful, thank you!

I am quickly browsing through some of these (and this is awesome we don't have to search for them all now thanks clough) and I have to say I love that John Wayne drawing jrebel, and templelane' cats held by people painting. :)

Please note: grammadidi's section has now been updated! Thank you grammadidi!

I'll "see" you all when I get back from my gig! :)

Have a good time! Thanks again Clough, good work, just really great!

That is really really neat that you took the time to do all that.
As it was I always wondered how in the hey I was going to ever make time to look all through all them!

... You missed mine though :rolleyes: :(
But I don't think I had them all linked to the post

Thank you so much. I am so glad you enjoyed my work. It was really nice of you to let me know. Thanks again! You just made my night. :p

I am quickly browsing through some of these (and this is awesome we dont have to search for them all now thanks clough) and I have to say I love that John Wayne drawing jrebel, and templelane' cats held by people painting. :)

I was happy to get online tonight and read your post. Glad you enjoyed the drawing of John Wayne, a nice surprise as I was reading the posts. Thank you so much! :p

Clough... this is so wonderful... thank you so much for doing this for everyone :)

Comments on this postcal823 (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/members/cal823.html) agrees: clough, you really are awesome, this site would be so much less without people like you.

Awe, that was really sweet, Sean! Thank you! It's so nice to "see" and "hear" you again!

We will be continuing an all-inclusive art thread somewhere. But, it's under construction as to how the framework of it is going to be.

Please remember that "We are one!!"

I'm not done commenting here. Just need to get some sleep...

I have a quick question...
When we post a new picture, do we post it normally or will it go under your list on the first page, or is it just to be a continuation so others can see it? Thanks
Jrebel, you got a beautiful electric flower, I love it. Really cool...
I agree, I can't wait to see what Call is doingin 10 years!

That is really really neat that you took the time to do all that.
as it was I always wondered how in the hey I was going to ever make time to look all through all them!

....You missed mine though :rolleyes: :(
But I don't think I had them all linked to the post

Just to let you know N0help4u, I did find your links on "The Artist in you!" thread, and will be including them in the index.

Thank you for your question, starover22! It wasn't my intention that this thread be a completely new art thread that would be a continuation of some kind for "The Artist in you!" But, just one that would be an index and place for those who wished to continue to comment on the work that was done in "The Artist in you!" thread could continue to do so.

I wish that threads didn't have to be closed after reaching 1,500 posts. But, you know, with an index to the thread, maybe it's possible that exceptions can be made. Don't know about that though...

My goal/plans are to start a thread that will be all-inclusive to various types of artists. But, things still need to be worked out about that.

So many of us have formed a sort of "community" here and it would be good if that community could continue in some way with some sort of central thread/meeting/idea/sharing place. This would not preclude the starting of entirely new threads that are devoted to only specific types of art, or those that would like to share about their art, whatever it is, on an entirely different thread other than a central thread.

I have no problem with people posting duplicate images in different threads. That just adds to the richness and diversity to the threads without people having to do a lot of hunting for what they want because only links might be posted in a thread.

I think that indexes are important for people doing research, and should be centrally located as stickies.

I think that it's important for everyone to feel free to start whatever type of art thread that they would like to in the Art topic area.

I do suppose that on this thread here, that it would be appropriate to post new works, as long as they are related to those that are listed in the index. After all, it is meant to be an index...

This is the way that the fine work that was done on "The Artist in you!" thread could continue.

I do hope that everyone understands where I am going with all of this. It ain't easy to figure it all out!

Sew special are you all, I am so grateful that we are all sewn together :)

N0help4u, your links have how been added to the index.

I don't have any pics of these to share because I used to make these as gifts and give away. I was talking to startover22 about a way to use aluminium cans in another post and I just remembered how I used to use them.

I would take coffee cans or veggie cans and take metal cutters and cut out different shapes. These cutters had ridges in them that would make the metal have ridges in them... so that I did not get cut. For instance I would cut out a large half circle from the bottom of a large can and then from a smaller can I would cut out smaller half circles and then I would paint all of them in the shape of a rainbow and write the letters of the person name on each small cut out and suspend it from the larger one stagering the cutouts. I would stager more than one heart or cloud etc... on the same dangling line or they could be hung straight across on the bottom of the larger piece. **edit I would take a nail and pound through the tin to make a hole to run the thread/wire through.

If I did not want to put anything I just left the pieces blank and painted them. Sometimes I would use little affirmations, poems etc... on them. It would be a small or large mobile. I would do clouds, birds, flowers, hearts, moons, sun etc... depending on what the person liked.
I used wire, fishing line or metallic threads depending on how I wanted it to turn out. I mostly used arcylic paints and then put a clear finish on them for protection and to make them washable.

I just thought about these and wanted to share... I hope this post makes sense and you can envison my little craft project. ***Clough if this is not the right place to post this I'm sorry, feel free to delete or put in a recycling post or wherever you feel is appropriate.

bushg, have you got a picture, these sound great!
I bet the kids would like to do these, at least my older ones would, they think my crafts are too "kiddie" this would be something nice for them and myself to do together!

No. I wish I did. I used to do arts and crafts and give everything away. I used to do flower arrangements as well. The only things I have left are my bird houses that I painted and my impromtu painting I did on a piece of plywood with house paint and my fingers and a nail and some cheap brushes. I thought it turned out quite well... lol my daughter called it a finger painting. I will see if I can make one of those mobiles and take a pic and have one of my dear children post it. When my children are finished with my paychecks and they have finished college I am going to take an art class... in the mean time I will be happy looking at other peoples art.

Jrebel I just saw your leaf paintings after clough indexed this site and I was awed by them.
Nohelp yours as well they were beautiful , in almost a magical way( poor description) I tried to give them a rep... but wasn't allowed.

A picture would be great!
It also reminds me of a string of christmas lights, with tin cans with holes punched in them to let the light out as pretty as possible. We had them on our deck a long time ago!
They would have been really great with deco or paint... Oh I am going to be very busy this summer. I just had a thought that these are great projects for the fall and winter time, and pull them out for a summer treat. All winter we can get ready for summer BBQ's and summer fun!
Heehee, I hope my kids are on board with me through all of this! I will take pics too after I am done!

Clough
What an awesome job you've done on this , magnificent!!

I have to admit I'm no good at these artist things , I have trouble drawing a stick man :-)

But hey that doesn't mean I can't come here and appreciate how talented some of the people are on here. Some awesome stuff here all of you.

Thank you so much, friend4u178! Much appreciated! You are absolutely correct that even though some might not think that they are very talented at doing art in the visual sense, that they can still appreciate the art that is done by someone else! The way that a person appreciates something can also be an art in, and of itself. I do believe that, somewhere in you is also an artist in you, friend4u..

Please see my drawing on the following link. At least I tried... :o

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/art/tattoo-drawing-195804-2.html

You did a great job Clough I love the new thread! ^.^ Especially how you posted all previously posted work. Well done! So how have you all been? I'm going through problems at home and so had no access to internet for a while now.

Well hello, BiWiccanAndProud! It's so nice to hear from you again! We have been continuing on here in the artist's corner of this site, although things have slowed down some but show promise of gaining momentum because of some new people that have come on board.

Are you okay now?

Not really it's a bunch of family issues and they haven't really be solved but I'm sure they will soon or so I hope...

Well, I'm sorry to hear that you're not totally okay! But, you do know that you have a bunch of friends here who do appreciate what you do, are like-minded and who will also be supportive of you and are here to offer there shoulders to lean on and give you advice that you might want if you want it concerning any issues about which you are having difficulty trying to figure out.

Capech? :)

I just wanted to comment, that I find it really interesting and actually inspiring, that "The Artist in you!" thread as started by firmbeliever, continues to get more and more views every day, even though it has been a thread that has been closed for awhile now! :)

A very special friend I have made on this site made a tag for me to use on my e-mails that says, "LIFE BEATS DOWN AND CRUSHES THE SOUL AND ART REMINDS YOU THAT YOU HAVE ONE - Quote by Stella Adler

"The Artist in You" thread, along with the other wonderful art threads on this site have become a lifeline for me. I have met some wonderful people and been able to view some art work that has so inspired me and lifted my spirits at a time when I was at an all time low because of loss in my life.

The index you made, Clough, has only added a new dimension to that thread! Thank you again so much. I know that had to have taken eons of time. :)

Thanks, Jan! Because there is an obvious interest in the arts, I think that I am getting inspired enough to start "Artist's Central." Not a continuation of something else, but something entirely different!

Oh, my gosh! The post count for people viewing "The Artist in you!" thread is now at 21,072 as of this writing! That means an increase of about 1,000 in the past week or so. Darn good and popular thread! Thread is not dead, obviously!

Wow! Since my last post here and as of the writing, "The Artist in you!" thread has increased from 21,072 views to 25,714! Not bad for a thread that has now been "closed" for a number of months! :)

By the way, this post is my "official" 10,000th post on this site! I wanted it to be on some thread that has great meaning to me! I know, a little quirky... :D

"CONGRATULATIONS" for reaching so many people and giving them great advice and much needed assistance! Thank you for welcoming so many new posters to this site and always making me feel an integral part of something so incredibly far reaching! Great job Clough! :p

At last I am posting the "surprise" that I had promised to a number of you almost three weeks ago!

This is a tribute to "The Artist in you!" thread as started by firmbeliever, who is a member of this site. Although that thread started out as being only about art in the visual sense on flat surfaces, it quickly evolved into including art concerning music, crafts, literary, furniture refinishing/restoration, woodcuts, photography, and that which concerned the theatrical arts. All of those types of art can overlap with and also compliment each other.

Because of the popularity of that thread and quality of various kinds of art that have been posted on it, I thought that it would be fitting to have some kind of index to it. Having something like that would be beneficial to the fine artists who have posted images on it who might want to cite references to what they have already done when helping other persons on other art type threads. I know that it has already happened where an artist who did post images on "The Artist in you!" thread was trying to tell someone where they had posted something on it, but couldn't remember where they had. Having this type of index should help. It would also be beneficial to have an index by subject of that thread. But, that would be something to be made on another thread.

This is still a work in progress, but I figured that I had better post something really soon before I leave for a few days for a three day gig and don't have any access to the Internet. It will still take some time to really complete it. I have already contacted all of those who have contributed images to that thread that this index has been made. Please let me know if what has been described about your art on a particular link could be worded better in some way and/or if a link doesn't work You could let me know in a reply on this thread or in a private message if you think something needs to be changed in some way.

If you would like to still comment on art that you might find on a particular link, please feel free to do so on this thread.

Thank you!

Clough
I also agree.
This site is aceptable to my people.
That being so I aprove.

Thank you, yadiexxkrazy1! I'm glad that what you find here is something that you like!

CAL... you have too many private messages in your PM box;) I was going to just say a little hello, but that is what it said. Hope to see you at some point when I have more time. I would love to know what is happening with you lately;) Se you later my friend...

I've also been wondering what has been up with Cal! I have been worried about him!

i'mmmmmmmmmmmm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccccckkkk ^.^ ello everyone i missed you tehe

WELCOME BACK, BiWi!! We've been kind of split up artistically around here, but hopefully it won't be like that much longer!

We can hope ^.^

Since fall is aproaching I am SURE this place will pick up;) Nice to see you BiWiccan

Heya all, sorry I've been gone so long. Is there a new art thread up?

Nope, it just seems as though no one has had anything to share all summer;)
I do know Jrebel has done a few things;)

COLOURlovers :: Login (http://www.colourlovers.com/login)... I found this,& loved it.Hope you do too :).

Well I for one am glad you're back!

Hi, Clough. This week is too busy to be here.

In terms of the art, I think I am too young to comment, and I like to enjoy and admire it.

It's surprising that I got a comic book of Jimmy from my friend.

I always love his comic books very much, but I never buy any one. Because I think the beautifull comic book is suggested to be admired, not to be got.

Hi, ArielXu!

Some other time then to discuss things about art and music and learning Chinese!

Just as a reference for others here, ArielXu and I had a good conversation on the following thread.

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/personal-growth/if-am-not-so-easy-get-along-275846.html

Hi, Clough, long time no conversation, hawhaw.

Call me Ariel just OK, and my family name is Xu, tsu or tsui.

Thank you for your attention to my questions and answers.

Your welcome, Ariel!

Ariel is a pretty name! Not much time for me right now here as I need to get back to work on a project for someone who's coming over today to see the progress that I've made on it.

Was just stopping in here for a brief while...

Later...

Here's a link to one of my latest artworks, it's a set of 3 canvases

Hi, Sean!

I would really like to be able to view your video or what you've posted there, Sean! Unfortunately, I'm on a dial-up connection and it's really hard for me to do that.

Hopefully, there will be a forum in this topic area where all who are gifted in whatever types of arts can display their works and discuss them and what it is concerning the art that they produce.

To my knowledge, according to how things now work on this site, this forum probably isn't going to be noticed very much, except by those who've already posted on it. Threads that are really old get archived and aren't visible to others unless someone happens to go to the particular topic area.

Thanks!

CAL!! I clicked and it wouldn't go anywhere but to my fave 80's song;) So will someone please tell me what I did wrong? LOL

Clough, I though for sure you said you were going to come in with the high paying internet access peeps? What happened to you getting DSL? YOu just got to get it, you will LOVE IT!

Ahahahah start you got rick rolled :)

Ohhhh yes, yes I did. HAha little boogar...

Hehe :)

What do you think of my avatar, Sean? Do you like it? Please let me know. I've never had an avatar before anywhere.

Thanks!

Such an active and popular thread here!
Congratulations.
Hope we all can find the artist inside ourselves.

"Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his nature into his pictures."

I'm looking through the websites, one by one.

We have a common saying in Chinese that how we look like is just according to the shape of our heart.We are also the artist of our own face.

Cool avi :)

kewl avi :)

Thanks, Sean! :)

Thanks, Sean! :)

Hehe thanks... btw... who is it? He looks very civil war/ american revolution timesey
And those historical times are very popular with me lately (been reading books set in those times lately, one of which is partly based of the diaries and historical stuff of Washington and people who knew him, I always thought he and the americans were anti-slavery, turns out a lot of the slaves actually fled from american territory to join the british so they could be free!)

It's Beethoven the composer and pianist, Sean! ;)

Cool :)
Never heard any of his music, (apart from bits of the 5th, everyone has heard that, and I love its tune :)
But I love piano, and the beethoven movie was pretty good :)

Hey, Sean!

Yeah, everybody's heard at least some of his Fifth Symphony.

I know that you do like to write poetry. If you'd ever like to have some set to music, please let me know. I've been doing that with a student on the following thread.

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/writing/want-write-song-267729.html

Doing so would give you another avenue of expression for yourself!

Thanks!

What Beethoven movie are you referring to, Sean? I only know the one that's titled: "Beethoven Lives Upstairs".

The one with the big saint bernardy kind of dog :)

Heehee;)
I like your avi too

Heehee;)
I like your avi too

Thanks, start!

Would you like to write the lyrics to a song that could then be set to music?

Thanks!

Craig, I have been thinking about the lyrics set to music we visited about earlier. Your talent amazes me. I will send a couple later on. Hope last night went well and look forward to possibilities of art projects.

Thanks, Jan!

I'm looking forward to working on something like that with you! The Writing forum area would probably be best.

The art projects will come...

Thanks!

Craig, I want to put my 2 cents in here.

I'm so sorry, I haven't been around the site in a looooong time. I have been nosing around all night, and just saw the finished product of what you had worked so very hard on. Thanks so very much for caring to do that, and for everything you do on the site.

I think your idea of providing a reference of some kind was a wonderful one. We have a tremendous amount of talent, and yes, have built some wonderful friendships here. So much of that would have been missed without your dedication.

Again, I thank you... from the bottom of my heart.

Hugs, Didi

Hard to know what to say right now, Didi! WELCOME back!

Thank you so much for your commendation! It's much appreciated!

You have been missed here..

One thing that's sad, is that threads that are old are archived, and the only people that will see them are those who have posted on them and those who might wander onto and/or search for and subsequently explore a particular forum topic area.

I have been wanting to start a thread in the Art forum topic area for quite some time now. Not so much a continuation of that which has already happened, but something new, that would incorporate all of the Arts in various aspects.

Have been waiting for the right time to do that...

Just your reappearing has given me new inspiration, and for that, I thank you greatly!

A number of us here had something really good going for quite some time. It would be good to see those sort of sharing and relationships continue!

Thanks!

Hello my dear Artist friends...

Just popping in for a quick hello, did I hear someone say art project?where?
:)

Gramma Didi, it sure has been a while.. welcome back! :)

Hey everyone.
Haven't been on for a while.
How is everyone?
Will photograph some of my art pieces soon :)

hey everyone.
havnt been on for a while.
how is everyone?

That would be good, Sean! We would love to see what you've currently be working on! New thread is coming soon, that hopefully will be full of lots of life like we used to have! We used to have so much fun, and it sure would be good to have it again!

Have already gotten another teen who wants to post some images in the Art forum topic area. Doesn't know how to do that and I need to show her how. She PM me about that.

Thanks!

Stop it right now

stop it right now

Excuse me,but could you elaborate on what you are referring to?

Thank you.

I too, am wondering about that comment, firmbeliever.

Thanks!

It appears the person who posted comment referred to, only posted one so far total. Hi to all you sweet friends! I haven't been around much but hoping soon, that will change. I miss everyone, just circumstances demand my time elsewhere for now. Love to all!

Jreb,
Hope you are doing well dear... whatever it is that is keeping you busy,I am sure you are wholeheartedly doing it.
Take care

I will be in touch, Jan! Am having some difficulties myself right now too!

God's Love to Both You and Firmy!

I might as well add my two cents worth :)

Portraits and Paintings by Sharyl Sward (http://www.geocities.com/sharylsward)

Shaz... wow, I am only into the drawings but holy cow lady! Very great!

Thanks startover, much appreciated :) :D

Hey, shazamataz!

Great job with your artwork on your site! :)

Thank you Clough... I've only discovered this thread recently!
Only been through of the different ones on the front page so far...
But I love what I've seen, many talented people on this site!

Hey Shaz... your artwork is awesome.

I was going through the original "Artist in you" thread", brings back good memories.
I miss all of you from those days.Rarely do we get the time to get so many artists in one place.

Hi, firmy!

Yes, those were good times and I hope that such a thing happens again!

God's Love and Peace to YOU!

Hi, All!

This is my 20,000th post! I just wanted to put it on a thread that is near and dear to my heart! :)

I hope that all is well with each and everyone of you!!

Thanks!
