At last week's meeting, we discussed enjoying art and craft, including painting, beading, and other activities, as things to do for relaxation, fun, creative expression, and fulfillment. Since many of us in the Northern Hemisphere are stuck inside more now cause of the cold weather and shorter days, it's a good time to discuss this.

Several of our members, including Katherine/Muse, Roxie, and Nicolette, have posted pictures of things they've made to our group Flickr. You should join us!

Do you enjoy art or crafts, and what kind? Do you see a connection between your disability & your artwork, or would you like to share tips about how you alter everyday art processes to fit your disability? Please share it in the comments!

If you're not familiar with it, you should check out VS Arts, an organization that focuses specifically on art resources for people with disabilities.

This evening at 7pm Pacific we will switching all of the GimpGirl Community web services to our brand new server! Members should see very few interruptions in service, but please let us know if you notice anything strange after the switch is made. After the switch, we hope to have a much faster website!

Cheers,
Jen
