Angry Crafts

I feel there is an uptapped segment of the craft market. Angry Crafts.

There are those who would use crafts to uplift their mood, but I find when I am grumpy this is unappealing to me. I do not want to stamp cards with cheerful sayings or create scrapbook pages of happy times, but I would like to do something creative. Hence the need for angry crafts.

Tearing up strips of cloth and dumping them in a bucket.
Decoupaging the word "hate" in many fonts onto a plywood square.
Sewing crooked lines in felt, or scribbling with black crayon on a old chair covered in white primer.

Welcome to the world of angry crafts.
