Ask the Geeky Girls -
Denise (fuzziekit)Denise (fuzziekit) from Michigan asks:
Hello ladies. First I want to say you continue to inspire me with #ggkcraftypad. I find myself writing, photographing, and drawing in a spectacular fashion because of it. Watching Dami doodle is a throw back to my childhood (which was far too long ago.)
So, this question/s is/are for Dami…
What is your favorite medium to work in? I see pen and possibly pencil. Have you used any other medium, such as watercolor, pastels, markers? If so what is your favorite? And besides knitting, what is your favorite three denominational form of artwork? Do you do any other forms of three denominational art, like clay or paper mache?
From one artist to another I am curious.
yours truly Deii (pronounced like the letter D)
