Answer 2

You should try stained glass. There are so many avenues to explore once you have learned the basic techniques. Most people start out with copper foil work. Then you can learn how to work with lead came and make leaded windows. You can go on to fusing and slumping, bead making, glass painting , mosaics, just for starts. There are really too many to name them all here.

You will never run out of ideas for gifts, either to receive or give. There will always be another piece of equipment that you'll want, so when people ask you what you want for a birthday or Christmas you will have an answer!

Once your friends and family find out that you do stained glass, they will keep you busy making things for them. It seems that stained glass casts a magic spell over people and everyone wants that magic in their home. The colors cast by sunlight shining through colored glass is awesome.

So, as I said in the beginning, try stained glass. You won't be sorry and you will have a lifetime of things to learn.

I sometimes make lace. Thre are many different types of lace, each requiring varying levels of skill and practice. There's needle lace which is similar to embroidery, but there's no fabric, only fine threads on fine threads. There's netted lace, where you are embroidering on tulle netting. There's tape lace, these days known as Battenburg lace. This can be done by hand or on the sewing machine. Ther's cutwork lace, which can be done on the sewing machine. There's the almost forgotten craft of bobbin pillow lace. Fine thread is wound on bobbins and then plaited, braided and pinned on to a pillow stuffed with sawdust or straw. The threads can be braided into lace as simple or as intricate as you want. The threads can be finer than hair or thick like yarn. There are many styles of bobbin lace, Torchon is the easiest, then theres Buck's point, Tonder lace, Valenciennes plaited lace, Duchess, and Bruges flower lace, free form, and my favourite Honiton flower lace, which uses the finest threads available. I also make lace using the tatting shuttle. Lace making is complicated and takes time to learn and it takes a while before one can make good quality lace. If you want a hobby that is very challenging, then you might enjoy lace.

One craft that I enjoy a lot is making all sorts of things out of bread dough clay. I learned it from Aleene many years ago. I made beads in the sixties and they are still good. You can make your flower petals very thin; it can be colored easily. I have made flowers, boxes, buttons, jewelry and etc. You do not mention shrink plastic. or weaving. Brown paper bags are another fantastic crafting source. I also like to make furniture out of layers of cardboard and Hobo's make beautiful intricate boxes out of cardboard. Rug making; needle punch, shrink paper, pine needle bowls, paper making; for just a few. What about using glue for dimension, painting black and then dry brush with copper metallic acrylic so it looks like real hammered copper sheets. Candy making. Their is no end to crafting. I'm done. Let us know what you decide to do. Good Luck and have fun.

according to where you live if there is a ceramic shop or pottery shop you can go in them and make your own pottery, fire and glaze it, Ive done ceramics for years. its fun but kind of messy, shops where you can work on site are great for keeping the mess out of your house. you can try copper enameling though you might need someplace like a junior college to trythis one without getting into the cost of buying an enameling kiln, i dont know how much those go for these days. there is always polymer clay, you can make sculputures. your own beads and more with it. you might enjoy lace making, some knitting shops handle the bobbins and such for making bobbin lace, also there is learning how to spin your own yarn, you can start with as little as a drop spindle and some fleece, i used to belong to the sca and learned quite a few crafts that date back to the middle ages. spinning often is followed by learning to weave. its great to keep historical types of art going, so the world doesnt forget how we got to where we are now. there is also wood carving, wood burning, leather carving and stamping, spelunking, bellydance, folk dancing, and a million more interesting things you can try, good luck.

I once bought a book about weaving baskets out of pine needles. Your question made me think of it. I never tried it but you wouldn't believe how beautiful and inexpensive they are!
The downside is that I CAN"T find the book! I'm new to the computer but I'll bet you can find info. if you know it exists. Good Luck! Think I'll try to find it too:)
