Default Re: Gathering a list of peoples skills/ experience/ offerings

I am a creative, experimental, hands-on type of person.
I have many survival and living skills.
I am an artist (painter, sculptor), a tool-user (prefer hand tools), skilled in working with wood, concrete and some metals. I don't weld, don't do electricity and don't understand motors.
I sew, knit, darn, can make clothing and patterns from scratch, and new clothes from old clothes.
I am a natural engineer, can figure out how to do things with unusual materials. In that way, I am a creative problem-solver. I can make almost anything I need out of whatever materials are at hand.
I work with plants and would like to work with animals.
I do small-scale gardening and food preservation and would like to learn more about growing and using medicinal herbs.
I'm very sensitive to Earth energies, with a deep appreciation of the complex inter-relationships of all life on this planet, and the living planet itself.
I very much admire the Amish.
I type (only in an emergency), am good at organizing systems and seeing the patterns and flow of systems.
I would love to be part of a sustainable community of creative problem solvers, for whom the word "can't" doesn't exist.
