Hi all,
I was inspired by a thread yesterday about knitting, to start a craft or making thread to see what people on here like to craft or make. I like to bead/make jewellery, the type I make is sewn out of seed beads, into a variety of patterns. Included are some photos of my latest piece, a necklace which took 12 hours! Please feel free to share your craft/hobby and a picture of your latest/favourite make if you wish.
i like making things and i am an avid collector of tools i like doing paracord weaving and i make edison lamps im currently decorating a printers tray with knic knacs and some art pieces that are based on tress pics attached
that sounds interesting. What is an Edison lamp?
Your coin collection sounds amazing! I wish I still had my coin collection :-(
oh no, shame you didn't keep them
i like to think it was a pirates treasure trunk lol
and expensive lol if only i had kept all my corgi and dinky toys
That sounds like a really innovative and fun project :-)
I know, I'm still mourning their loss
I love it! It's just so old and interesting. I bet if it could talk it would have a few stories to tell!
would love to have some gold sovereigns lol
Wow!
The only time I was ever asked 'anything to declare' at Customs was when I took my old coin collection with me because I had decided not to return to the UK. Nothing special in the main, a few Victorian coins, other coins pre-decimalisation, some post it a really: these might well seem like relatíve old coins to kids I teach now.........
I did have an Edwardian gold sovereign, a warn George III sixpence dated 1816, the year without a summer, and another Georgian shilling in mint condition for 1781, but which are very common.
Actually I often keep modern coins to show kids, passing on the wisdom received by my own good self that the fifty p was an equilateral curved hectagon, the new pound being a dodecagon.
And no I didn't declare them.
im currently in the process of collecting some 1:76 scale dinky vehicles to make a shadow box of old style cars trucks and buses that i have driven through my lifetime
shame about your coins
ebay again from a seller called bramblecam cost me £250 but i love it
I can imagine the light they emit would be quite soft. I’m the opposite with light, but then my vision isn’t the greatest so I need it to be really light so that I can actually see properly
Aw I like historical artifacts of sorts. I did have a collection of old English coins but lost them when I moved house 10 years ago Where did you get the big trunk from?
yeah i prefer the light they emit it's not as harsh as led though i only put them on when people call as i prefer the dark too much light hurts
it is yeah i bought it off ebay and bought travel stickers to decorate it like it had been to many different countries i also have a really big trunk that's about 180 yrs old
Do you use the Edison lamps to light your house?
looks interesting and is that an old style suitcase that I see underneath it? I have one of those in my loft that used to belong to my Grandma (the suitcase)
