Who's into crafts?

[karamae]

I am sure a lot of people here sew...
I am very into resin casting, sewing, collages, and making little pictures with old LP covers, broken jewelry, and other thrift store finds.
Right now I am making a project based on a design by my friend Ben. It's a tabletop with a pizza laquered into it (under a layer of resin)
I don't think I can post photos yet, but I would love to see your photos or descriptions of items you make.

[OliX]

to steal our ideas?

[morbid_lady]

i do plastic canvas, sewing and learning how to stencil.

[Evilbink]

Not sure I would call it crafts, but I make a lot of glass, jewelry and leather pieces. As for pics, there is a decent gallery of my glass on my web site. Anyone interested can check it out.

Thats awesome!
Crafts was the only word I could think of to encompass "making stuff"

[cheinara wraithwalker]

[Morning Glory]

I make chainmail when i'm not feeling bored. nothing much interesting - a couple of slightly skew-wiff coifs, trying to work out how to do a gauntlet to cause minimum obstruction to the digits. thinking of maybe trying something more ornamental with lower guage wire. silver would be nice, if it wasn't so ridiculously expensive.

Oh, and i write. and have been published. pseudonym, naturally.

My mother owns a yarn shop and would string you up (or cut off your head in honourable execution if you prefer) for saying that. BE PROUD! TELL EVERYONE!

[BrightStar]

I Love to Sew, but I forgot how.

[karamae]

knitting is cool, a lot of people are into it but I never got too into it, I would end up with knitted stuff everywhere.
sometimes there's cool craft ideas on getcrafty.com, also those little crafts in the Gothic Lolita Bibles, has anyone seen? Usually home decor stuff!

Well don't be shy or ashamed, come out of the closet. We all knew it anyways. LOL

what kind of wood?.....how about doing a top?(ie' flamed maple or the like),it's even more of a bitch ,but fuck is it sexy......

warmoth is great but they are waaayy fucking expensive.....everybody shit's about necks,but there not that bad.....it's mainly the fretboard and that you just have to be really carfull.......

[TheDeathKnight]

I build cars, motorcycles, costumes, sculptures, model kits, miniatures, and all kinds of random things...

Im probably going to use maple for the body and i dont know about a top my grandfather (who is an expert carpenter) said he would help me out in doing some sort of elaborate inlayed top plus hell probably help me with the other stuff since i use his workshop.

haha, that funny, my grandfather taught me carpendry whe i was a kid i used to spend the whole summer 4 days a week with him,when i was like 4 to 14......

i quess that shows alot about that generation,huh..... ..



by the way, i like using mohogany for bodies,nice general wood, maple can be a bitch to shape, and i'm wierd , i don't really make plans, i'm more like a wood sculpurer that turn put a body,hahaha....

but i've gotten kinda addicted to doing tops,it'really isn't that bad,just a lotta glue/time/sanding/clamps and more clamps.........and the result is Beutiful,i hate to paint guitars solid, i kinda make it not wood anymore,less of an instrument,to me.........

and the reason i dont want to use a top is because i want to use marble inlays (because that would be badass) and have to make a really thick heavy top to support that which would make the guitaur a bit too heavy for my taste plus the marble would alereadt make it pretty heavy

[devil13]

an old roomate of mine built a Trebushe`(i have no idead how to spell that)


it took a few weekd to build ans a few months to get it to fire forward,ha,but it was prett cool...i think it was like 15-20' at the top of the arm.....

it didn't lok hard at all to build,only thing they struggled on was the release,hence the firing problems.....

[Damniel]

I study graphic design, so i get to do a lot of crafts and drawings, whith a bunch of diferent maretials, and sometimes i can´t find the material i need so i have to improvise, besides that i sometimes modify some of my clothes, do a lot of house improvement and i like anythign it has to do with all of the avobe...
