Thread: Let's start by saying what crafts we are interested in

  1. #1

    Default Let's start by saying what crafts we are interested in

    I'm into handcrafted jewellery big time and have been for the past God knows how many years now. I'm beginning to experiment with wire wrapping within the jewellery side of things.

    Apart from that I've done cross stitching since secondary school but I'm finding the fine stitching hard on the eyes now. Love rug making too.

    Fancy trying Candle making and maybe some soap making................. if I ever find the time these days :lol:

    How about you lot! what takes your fancy?

    Hi I like making silver jewellery, soaps, candles, mosaics, cards, pottery, woodcarving, sewing, watercolour and oil painting, drawing with pencil and coloured pencil, modeling and almost anything to do with art.

    As far as the jewellery goes I love being able to use soldering torches, the only problem is having to pickle all the work afterwards. And using gemstones is great too. The only problem is the cost of hallmarking. So I tend to stick to small pieces as anything over 7.75grams must be hallmarked.

    Soaps are fun and easy to make. The only problem is that unless you can afford to certify them you can not legally sell them. Certification can cost upwards of £200 each formula. And even if you only change it by adding petals you have to pay out £200 again.

    At the moment mostly I do cross stitch and knitting when I get the chance - which doesn't seem very often nowadays.

    I like knitting toys and most of the cross stitch I do now is old cover kits and cards that I've been given and/or collected. I used to give them to my mum for her charity shop, but since she retired earlier this year I decided I'll do them for my son's school Xmas Fayre as well as making some little gift boxes.

    I also do painting/drawing and all sorts of "making and doing" with the kids.

    And of course there's always fancy dress costumes that are required.

    Hi aries458

    How do you do lampworking? Is it very hard? And do you need much equipment?
