Sometimes people don't like to include Arts and Crafts together, but since I am into both, I thought I would start a thread for crafts. So it will be great to see what other people on fbx make either as a hobby or as their work.

I hope that the men won't see this as a 'girlie thing' with embroidery and knitting but that they feel able to share models, or kites, dolls houses and things that they may have made for other people and children.

One of my friends told me that he'd made a Chinese Pagoda for a rabbit hutch. I've never seen it but sounds quite impressive.

I'm going to start off with my seabird silver necklace with a chrysocolla stone that I made after having painted a picture of seabirds as a reminder of my dream to be living by the sea. The jewellery then gave me the chance to wear it with me all day too.

I am beginning to feel bad that no-one else had bothered to reply yet, so here we go, I know its not even close to what you want, but it is an effort....



I've had it for about 15 years, and yes I have actually started it, well, I cut out the card-board bits anyway!
I am hoping to have it done by the time I retire.......

Now there's a talented man.
So you actually design them, and they fly?!

That plane is awesome.....

The people who call THAT nerdy, are untalented and jealous as hell!

Great! I just love to see models. Tim the planes are fantastic. Do you get together with other folk making those kind of things? In North Norfolk there is a very active model engineering club, also a Minni House Club where the members make dolls houses and minatures.
Megalone, I hope you finish your model before you retire, but I'm sure it will take a lot of [patience to complete.

So another craft for me is working with glass and this was my first Stained Glass panel.

Myriad....you seem amazingly talented. I havent got a creative bone in my body so im afraid ive nothing to show here

I dunno, some of the pictures you've put in the boobies thread could be thought of as a certain form of art.....

Just thought i'd show my effort, not quite a craft I know.......
