I never felt I was that good at art or crafts when I was at school, but since leaving, I've come to realise that I can turn my hand to most things, I think its just having the desire to try, something that school never really instilled ... sketching a bowl of fruit or making an ash spice rack just doesn't have appeal on the same level as bashing on a piece of steel and then using something really hot and full of dangerous amps to stick other bits of steel to it!
Thats not to say I don't enjoy some of the more traditional forms of art, I've tried my hand at oil painting (with varying degrees of success) ...
