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 jewellery at the moment with dremel drill on stone but normally I use wood I.e carving pyrography ect.
These look absolutely amazing! You have a really unique skill there!
Thank you Kitsune,
I am still developing my skills with pyrography I usually work with pens I make something with many pictures and make a pattern.
Meh! I totally replied to this last night and the reply has disappeared (curses the forum software under my breath!). I just sew seed beads into various patterns, nothing too technical. I also have a kiln that I bought several years ago that I’ve been too scared to use yet plus I need to buy a shelf for it. Once I’ve got a shelf, myself and one of my autistic friends who lives nearby are going to have a play as I also have a few packets of silver clay hanging around.
I just sew seed beads in various patterns, nothing spectacular. I do have a kiln and some silver clay though, and possibly a couple of semi precious cabochons hanging around. I must learn how to use those sometime soon....
What about your self
I make things very basic,
So for stone I engrave with dremel and make pendants I can put wood around to make like a composite piece plus can paint.
Wood and paint pendant.
I have knowledge of casting but no practical place to make, such as lost wax cast I love the idea that the ancients used cuttlefish lovely lines
I used to work as a dental tech so casting i have alot of skills in ha, I'm not the best at adding stones to metal I don't have skills in this. I would love to learn thou.
You can cast with some stones in place.
It’s really good! You mentioned above that you make jewellery. How do you make your jewellery if you don’t mind me asking?
Do you have any ideas for your art work?

Thanks Nexus9.
It does sound like a cool idea
I really want to do a massive one that has lots of story's in it so everytime you look at it somthing new is see, I think that's a cool idea
It's good that you can redraw and reuse your designs!
I see the birds and clouds, the women and the skulls. I can see some snake-like outlines, perhaps these are the beast?
Thank you nexus9, In this sea storm picture I have put
Can you see them?
What I do is draw them out and fold the paper and trace from the other side then redraw the whole lot and I keep all of them for reuse and use them like jigsaw pieces so I have a really big one with my different design put together so i have Same pictures with different endings like this.
