Where is the strangest place you've committed an act of art?
Some people are so busy these days multi-tasking life, that they have to commit acts of art on the fly. Doodling at the office, knitting and crocheting and even beading in waiting rooms, scrapping at the airport. I even read an article where some poor woman had to finish an artpiece in a public restroom. I remember once my mother having to decorate the interior of a friends van with carpet and curtains and pillows and I had to paint the night sky on the ceiling, which back then was pretty cool, but now... Anywho, wheres the wierdest or funniest place you've found yourself caught up in the act of art?

Hi, I'm really new to this group, so I hope this post can serve as my introduction. :-)
The weirdest place I've ever done art (well, craft, really) was to bring my handspindle and wool to the oncologist's office, and I was spinning wool in the waiting room, which was definitely a novelty for everyone around me!

I bring my sketchbook with me everywhere so I often just pop it out and start sketching... meaning that wherever I am even in public places with lots of people I just start doing art. I was waiting for my train and started drawing the people on the other side of the tracks sitting on a bench, the people around me were watching.
this one isnt really weird, just interesting. in fact it's quite a normal place to go especially bc i went with my art class, bu what happened was scary... I went to Kelly Dr. to paint the landscape there (a little river-type thing, very pretty w/ bridges and little crew boats... just off a highway/main road to philly) and I set up my easel and paints and starting painting when a big white van pulled up (in the parking lot... people often go running/biking/walking along the walk there). Out comes about 15 old men (and I was only about 15 at the time) from just one van. I started to get a little freaked out because they all were staring at me and pointing and then walking over to me. Then Next thing I know, they enclose me and my easel by creating a big circle around us. I was pretty freaked out, and then they started telling me about how beautiful my painting was and one guy said "I'll take you home to Afghanistan with me and you can paint for me there and be my wife, I will give you an oil well!" and they were all joking and laughing. well I hope they were joking and trying to be funny but i was pretty scared until finally somehow I got them to go away.
the end.

When I was in art school in the middle of Boston there weren't many trees. But there were a few here and there and some that you could even climb. Between classes I'd bring my smaller sketch pad and sit up in the trees sketching away. I could watch people quietly without most of them even knowing I was there.

I don't know why I just thought of this but about -ohhh, almost 10 years ago, when I was a life guard for a girls scout camp one summer, I picked up a couple metal wires on the ground and started twisting it to make wire sculpture people.
They had a nice flowing spontaneity to them.

I've met some hit chix on GITMR. Not satisfying in the least. Just the opposite. Most communication is self-defeating, accomplishes nothing. I would love it if people would leave me alone when I'm out and about. Anybody else?
Mariam, watching this raises questions: for instance, is this guy just an actor?
Seems like it. "Am I glad I went"? Well, in the sense that I knew I had to see him eventually.....I guess I got it over with (and used up my airline credit). Is he a...
"Did I meet any hot chix?" I love it~! Ha! Ha! Ha!
I've met too many of those in my life, already, many more than enough. I think I've had enough. But thanks!
also, a dr. friend told me that some of the waxy stuff can drip into your ear and do permanent damage. it does feel great, but i don't do it any longer. i've actually fallen asleep while having it done. =/
If you have something to trade, or there's something you want, here's a place you might like to display pictures or ask.
Thank you Wrenn that is what I thought too and your comments are very helpful! I think it would also be cool at $.99 for 5 TOTALLY new raw recipes and then it can be a series of them at $.99 each...thanks for your comment!
What are they used for? I've heard people people using them in smoothies.
women wants to re-make them just like if they were their own babies, and yet they want them to act grown up like a "real" man father and all that stuff. doomed to fail each time
why? was it great drama?
why not getting in to someone's head? everything is free
