What type of craft/making do you like?

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 shall look this up, (Haworth in Yorkshire) I have two main likes in the way I dress, Victorian worker in his Sunday best and way out hippie come steam punk.

    I have a thick Long black coat with tails and large collar, embellished with embroidery that swirls all over in bright vivid colours, large colourful buttons, top hat and stainless steel safety specs thick round glass lenses from the 1940’s, with stainless mesh side guards.

    I look like a circus ring master but more colourful. The bright coloured stretch fit  flared leggings add that sixties touch. Think David Bowie  Lol. 

    I have many hippie clothes, as well as Victorian style. Collarless shirts, double Albert chain and pocket watch, waist coat, flat cap hat. All leather old style shoes polished to perfection.

    I keep trying to post pictures but no joy, the pictures of tools were taken with a camera and do post the clothes and me with an iPad and rarely post up here? Some do and some don’t? Sometimes a picture like my aspie quiz chart will and other days won’t?

    shame really as I even cropped my head off to stay within  NAS rules.

  • that sounds really interesting
