Joseph Attard (NewHorizons)

Hi, I like HubPages because you get to 'know' people, their thoughts, pastimes, skills, etc. I spend time playing around on the Internet and pursuing my hobbies: writing about Gozo, my Island Home, drawing, painting, clay sculpture, playing classic guitar and reading. That's in Winter, cause in Summer I take up others connected with the sea, boating, fishing and sailing but I keep the drawing and reading :-) I also take care of my two little grandchildren (not little now in 2021) while their mother is at work. I love doing this (used to love). Now Krista is 15 and Andre' is 9).

I am on the Internet only in the evening/night time instead of watching TV. I also have a website about living and holidaying in Gozo, Malta.

Finally I must say that I find that Hubpages are great and easy to work with. Thank you HubPages.

IMPORTANT NOTE: My email address is now ...

Clay Sculpture - Earth Clay and Christmas Crib Figurines

I gather the clay myself. It is fun really and part of the hobby - a chance to get out of your studio or workshop and head for the open spaces. To think that you are working and creating things with a medium that is free and so abundant acts as a re-enforcement

  Good Things, Bad Days and Ugly Experiences

  2 years ago

  Life is a mix of many good and some bad and ugly things. 'Things' that occur, chances that arise, thoughts that lead to good openings, ideas that go awry, accidents that prove beneficial, true friendships, love encounters, happy moments and bereavements that leave a vacuum in our hearts.

  How to Make a Reed Curtain, Step-by-Step Instructions

  2 years ago

  The reed curtain is very practical and offers privacy in the daytime, shade and lets in fresh air. It rolls above the door to about 10 inches and stays out of the way until required.

  Nudes and Bas Relief Clay Sculptures

  2 years ago

  I think that the simplest thing to make with clay is a bas-relief like the ones I’ve produced on this page. All you need is a lump of soft earth clay or any other clay and a stiff wooden board. One can start by doing something simple like a landscape with hills in the background, a plain area...
