I am NOT creative. I'm very left brained and have done accounting most of my life. But from 1984 - 1987 I worked for a company that had a picture framing gallery attached to the main building. When I had down time (and I had lots of that) I went over to the gallery and I learned to help people select mats and frames for their art or needlepoint or whatever they wanted to frame. I also learned how to assemble the framing and to to stretch needlepoint/cross stitch. I learned SO much about art - I loved it.

Talking about moose, one of the art projects that people used to bring in to be framed was moose hair tufting. It's a beautiful craft done by the indigenous (native Indian) people here in Canada (more in the northern parts than down south here where I live). They make art from dyed moose hair. Google it - there are hundreds of photos of the art online.

I've never tripped over antlers. And the only time I ever ate moose meat was when I went to Sweden in 1976. Sweden is crawling with moose - they're everywhere, or were 40 years ago.
