Just like the title says: is there any interest in having a forum dedicated to Dharma-related arts and crafts. A forum both for posting ones own or others arts and crafts as well as a place to get advice about creating stuff.
Currently, scattered about in different locations on the site are the kind of threads that would go there -- things like personal shrines and how to set up one, making/mending malas, tormas, Buddhist artwork, Buddhist music, etc. I think you get the idea...
A Buddhist discussion forum on Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism

Y E S !!! 
Because, if our mothers, who have been kind to us
From beginningless time, are suffering,
What can we do with (just) our own happiness?

Love this idea!
"Life is full of suffering. AND Life is full of the Eternal
IT IS OUR CHOICE
We can stand in our shadow, and wallow in the darkness,
OR
We can turn around.
It is OUR choice." -Rev. Basil

Wow! There seems to be a lot of enthusiatic support for this idea.
I hate the idea of making work for our moderators, but if we want this kind of forum we need to give them ideas about where it would be and maybe volunteers for moderation.
Probably the most logical place would be as a sub-forum in the "Media" forum? Doesn't that seem like the best place?
Most of my first encounters with the buddhadharma was through its art. I bet that's the same for many people. Art is powerful.

Thanks for the suggestion. A Dharma-related Arts and Crafts forum is being considered.
