Craft Roll Call

topic posted Sun, January 2, 2005 - 2:48 PM by 
So what kind of crafty ladies do we have here?

I bead,
sew okay,
can knit scarves (can't read patterns yet though,)
scrapbook and make cards,
cross stitch a little bit (but tend to loose patience halfway through),
have experimented with leatherworking,
have taken a pottery class or two,
Soap making, Candle making, home made cosmetics,
etc...

I suppose I dabble in everything but not quite an expert in anything quite yet. So what do you Bay Area girls do?

    chainmail
    sewing
    knitting - slowly figuring out how to read patterns
    stained glass
    lotion-making
    making stuff with shells - wind chimes/mobiles, frames, etc.
    recycling mint tins into gift boxes
    making flower hair clips - glitter is good
    spontaneous craft combustion - anything is possible

    Would like to get back into doing sculpture with stone, steel, wood, rubber, anything I can get my hands on for free. Need space and time though. Oh and money would help too. Have worked in other mediums such as ceramic, photography, paint, etc. Would like to dabble more in glass blowing & fusing.
