I like to decorate cookies. I also sculpt toppers for cakes and cupcakes out of fondant. That's sort of creative in an edible sort of way2

I like to do that too, I made a cake for an old boss once, made a chocolate cake with chocolate icing and drizzles melted vanilla frosting on the edges, I also made a cake and made an edible Viking picture for an ex once0 -
I have sold my paintings and have had them on display in an art gallery in Phoenix.
That's been a few years ago. Now I just paint artwork so the walls of our crib aren't blank.1 -

woodworking counts, it darn sure does
one of my prize possessions is a lamp that my father (rip) made in his high school shop class in the 1930's
I had it rewired and use it every day; it really is a piece of art1 -

I decided to take up knitting way back in my teens. I made super long scarves that were curved cause I couldn't keep the tension properly and didn't know how to finish so I kept going. I'm sure my mom still has them somewhere.1 -

I just got lucky, that's all.
I had a friend who owned an art gallery here in town and asked me if I would like to display.
... who would say 'no' to that?0 -

I'd like to get into wood turning where I could start making something like that but it's going to require me to build a new shop if I want any new tools.0 -

..... and you need to have the space to do that.
It's a talent, it really is. If you can, have at it. I don't quite have the patience for it.0 -

Definitely, you get wood shavings everywhere. I have a lathe that was my great grandfathers but I don't have the space and it's pretty old school I don't know how much I trust it.0 -
... and what's cool is that you have built something with your own hands that is both unique and useful.
it's a far cry from Ikea
(not a knock on Ikea; it's great for kids' furniture)0 -
Definitely, built a set of kitchen cabinets last year and while there's plenty of flaws I know about in them, they're still much better quality that something off the shelf.0

I started knitting when I was nine and taught my brother and his friends to knit using pencils as knitting needles. Then in college I knitted hats, various purses, scarves. But, I stopped and don't knit anymore.
I was definitely into drawing and painting in high school and college. But, haven't done it as much lately, but sometimes.0 -
Yes, I draw pen & ink (mainly), and I also make jewellery and art from sea glass and other beach finds.0
-
When I have time to myself I sometimes do paint, draw theres few canvas in our flat I have done. Not good enough to sell but partner likes them.1
-
I make beautiful babies...and I create pretty good photos.0

I love doing illustrations mostly ink or digital based ones. I'm a toy felter and beginner knitter. I've been trying to improve my photography skills but definitely a fun hobby.1
