Creating unique art can be fulfilling for several reasons. For one, it allows an artist to express themselves in a way that is truly authentic and personal. The act of creating something that is special can be a form of self-expression and self-discovery.

Additionally, creating peculiar art can be fulfilling because it allows an artist to challenge themselves to think outside the box and push the boundaries of what is possible.

The Facebook group "Home for Peculiar Artists" is a vibrant community of people who share a passion for the unique and unusual. Here, members showcase their one-of-a-kind creations, ranging from sculptures made of found or recycled materials to digital art with a surreal twist.

The group is also a marketplace for these said creations, with many artists offering their pieces for sale. It's a great opportunity for art lovers to discover new and exciting artists and to own a piece of art that is truly unique.

Creators: Sue Beatrice and Andy Gertler Medium: Recycled cardboard boxes, paper bags, wood and glue. Like many of you, we accumulate tons of boxes from shipments of online purchases. The forms are all made from cut boxes and the surface is covered with torn bits of paper bags. This sculpture was created without making paper pulp. It's all just cut cardboard assembled using hot glue and Elmer's glue. It was built from the inside out starting with basic forms made from cardboard and layering on the musculature and then the fur.

One of the biggest benefits of sharing art online is the ability to connect with other like-minded individuals. Artists can share their work and receive feedback from their peers, as well as gain inspiration from the work of others. Online communities have formed around specific mediums and styles, allowing artists to grow and develop their skills in a supportive environment.

Sharing art online also provides opportunities for commercial success.

The internet has made it possible for artists to reach a wider audience and sell their work to people all over the world.

However, it's important to note that sharing one's art online also comes with its own set of challenges. The internet can be a ruthless place and artists may face criticism and negativity from others. It's important for artists to develop a thick skin and not take negative comments to heart. Additionally, the internet has made it easier for art to be stolen and used without permission, so it's important for artists to protect their work and be aware of copyright laws.

Creator: Me Medium: Crochet Wow once again the followers of this page have blown me away with their support. Thank you all so much for your lovely words. If you want to see more of my work check out my page Not Just For Nanas or my Instagram. I’ll be posting there as I have new pieces available and when I am able to ship internationally but for now I’ll just be sharing photos of crochet things that I love to make. I’m a UK based crochet maker. I love to use vintage doily patterns and create modern wall art but sometimes I go off piste and turn them into these parasols. They are a perfect festival accessory or wedding photo prop. Although I like to take one just to walk the dog.

My very first leaded stained glass panel has been installed into a door and delivered to New Hampshire!! What an absolute thrill when you get to see months of hard work come together and light up the room. Original design, over 400 pieces, 5/32" lead came, 35.5" x 27". Took about 8 months from starting the concept drawing to delivery. This was my first time working with lead, first installation piece, and first time making anything anywhere near this big!
