Each generation of my mother's side of the family has harbored artistic talent, both in the performing (mostly musical, not a talent I possess… I cannot even carry a tune) and visual/craft arts.
A-ma was gifted at dressmaking, as were at least three of her five daughters, including Mom, who studied bit of dress design. Mom’s greatest creative passion, though, was crochet.

Here's Mom at the sewing machine when she was still in her teens.
She wasn't the star pianist amongst her siblings, but she loved to play the piano and to sing.
Wasn't Mom clever in making the line of the bottom pattern at the same height despite our different sizes?
Mom is kneeling at the right in a yellow, red and green mini dress she crocheted, and you can see a few decorative crocheted pieces on the furniture in the back.
Here we are in front of the pale green Pontiac family car with Mom in a purple and white crocheted dress.
My cousin Michael designs caricatures of joshi puroresu, Japanese professional female wrestlers, as a hobby and makes T-shirts and other products he ships to the wrestlers and their fans. Here are some examples of his work.

Meanwhile my cousin Jessica decorates cakes and cupcakes with her friend Andrea for birthdays, showers, weddings, and other events as a hobby. Here are examples of their work.

One of my uncles used to paint and draw avidly, while one of my aunts, Michael's mother, used to make traditional Chinese dresses for paper dolls. One of my great-aunts does quilling. Another of my cousins is talented at drawing.
When I get more photos of family talent, I'll share them with you!
