I collect hobbies. Love trying and learning new things. Lately macramรฉ, crocheting animals, making ginger beer and cider. And the newest fixsation i hope will be to learn to play the didgeridoo
show choir. if you don't know what it is it's singing and dancing and we compete and it's super fun cause we spend months putting together our set. today is actually the biggest competition of the year and i really want to win
I would absolutely adore to be in a show choir. I love dance and have always wanted to sing. I hope yโall do well!
I paint canvas sneakers for other people. Mostly Converse Chucks, but I'm hoping to branch out soon!
I've done butterflies, dinosaurs, abstract art, flames. Right now I am doing mountains on my own baby-blue Converse.
That's so cool! My twin has been customizing her shoes too!
I'm a second degree black belt in taekwondo! Half the time I still don't know what I'm doing though :)
Sewing stuffed animals, drawing, writing, making jewelry, and building with Lego bricks.
Nice! I love making jewelry and building with Legos too!
Cosplay! I make most of my stuff myself, and my favorite parts of the process are making props and doing my makeup.
I like to forage for medicinal and edible plants. I dentify plants I find and research their uses. I make tea, oils, tinctures, etc. It's really interesting and relaxing making my own teas, oils, tinctures, etc. Of course I have to be careful, but there are way more useful plants, even just in my back yard then I would've thought before.
I've also really wanted to try that because just common plants you see every day could have an amazing use!
Art. I mostly draw, but I love discovering new ways to make art. One of my favorite things is using art supplies "incorrectly." Not tha you can do art wrong, just using things for stuff other than its intended purpose. In case you needed to know, eyeshadow is pretty decent paint pigment, and nailpolish is not. Nailpolish will turn your paint into unusable gluey slime.
I love doing origami and I know you're not gonna believe what I'm gonna say but for example, I've created a Tyrannosaurus Rex by Issei Yoshino, it took me about 2-3 months to create with a week break (u can look it up on google).
Wow that's amazing I could never be that patient to create something so awesome good job!
Hey! I'm a jewelry maker. I can do some pretty cool stuff but apparently to my mom it is not as important as drawing :')
I like crocheting and dog training.
I've been learning to throw a boomerang! Haven't been able to catch it yet, but one day...
Hey you got this! And that's really cool!
Polaroid camera, vintage Simplicity doll dress packets, drawing, writing/typing, only black and white stuffed animals (Skunks, cows, panthers, zebras, bats), pastels (colors such as sage green), poetry, swimming. It's quite a bit, but you know! What do you think?
Probably me painting just everything that I wear every single day I take a picture of myself and then I copy it off of my phone. I do with my cat sometimes too.
Wow that's amazing and really creative!
Learning different languages
Oo cool I've tried to do that but it's hard to keep up with and remember, what is your favorite language?
There is nothing cool about me๐๐๐๐
Fursuit/cosplay making! Plus me and a friend started a band so hopefully songwriting too!
I write death metal lyrics!
I crochet toy octopuses/octopodes for prematurely born babies. The tentacles remembers them of the umbilical cord and they often hold on to them for comfort, which also keeps them from pulling the medical tubes.
I also knit tiny hats, gloves and socks for premies as well as blankets. It's very rewarding and helps me coping with depression and anxiety.
I like to write so I took an online course in calligraphy which led me to book binding. Because books need a cover and that I live near a tannery where my resources are readily available, I taught myself how to craft leather products. Turns out I'm quite talented and can make good money making leather products. I enjoy the craft as well, finding it therapeutic. I do everything by hand. I'm considering opening a workshop with a storefront.
Gliding. Still just a baby pilot, but I love being in the sky
I could never, being in the sky is terrifying but I'm glad it makes you happy!
I'm not sure it's cool but i collect trivia. My husband gets uncomfortable about me knowing the rivers in Egypt and how condensation erodes diesel exhaust pipes. I'm a force in trivia and Jeopardy. Neeeerd:)
A cool hobby of mine is ice skating. (Get it, cool :)
I write backstories for DnD characters as a side hustle. It began as a hobby, almost like flash fiction, creating character concepts but my husband thought I should monetize it. Now I do fiverr commissions. While quite niche, it is helping me improve my writing skills and forcing me to be incredibly creative and continually come up with new concepts on practically no notice :) . Recently this opened into writing character and story elements for boardgames.
My older brother does this and I want to start doing it too!
I show and train dogs. I have done this since I was very very young. I was the top obedience junior handler in Canada for multiple years. I traveled all over N. Am competing and for the first two years I was undefeated. I used to go on TV to discuss the sport, training and advocate against Breed Specific Legislation (often bringing my rottweilers with me). I stopped for many years quite abruptly. I recently came back and judges did a double take lol. While I don't show for money anymore, I am slowly dipping my toes back in and doing it fully as a hobby.
Origami, I've been learning through books for about 30 years now. Also, karate, I'm a second degree black belt
I make Reborn Dolls. They start as vinyl head, arms and legs that I spend lots of time hand painting in minute detail to give them tiny blue veins, rosy mottled skin tones, blushed knees and elbows and minuscule fingernail tips and moons. Then I grab a felting needle and hand insert strands of mohair which is just as fine and soft as baby hair. After a few eyelashes are needled in, glass eyes get fitted. The soft fabric body is weighted with stockings full of glass beads and filled with pillow stuffing. A magnet is attached behind the lips before the head is weighted and stuffed. Legs, arms and head are attached and the baby is โbornโ. After diapering and dressing in real baby clothes, a pacifier with the nipple removed and a magnet added can be put in place for a very realistic visual. I love making these babies and giving or selling them to adoring mommies. My greatest compliments come when I am out with one of my newborns and someone asked me how old the baby is or what itโs name is. Itโs so satisfying when someone has to look twice to realize Iโm actually holding a doll.
That's really cool I used to love to have these type of dolls when I was little
I make balloon animals. I love making things, balloon dogs are my favorite:D
The park system near me does guided walks with staff naturalists. They are on topics that fit the season, things like fungi, wildflowers, geological formations etc. I try to do at least one or two a month. Iโve learned so much and have a much deeper appreciation for the natural world.
For me, it's art. More specifically, creating sketchbooks. I learned how to make them in 9th grade with the art teacher, my mom, and 3 other students. It was awesome. With the covers, we would take either mix media or watercolor paper and dip them into water that has a layer of multiple colors of spray paint. My profile picture is of one of four I did in 9th grade.
I also love to write. I'm currently writing a book. It's been 3 years since I started it and I haven't finished yet ๐ ๐.
Jk. Axe throwing, making music, I do some of this stuff when I get bored alot of my friends say I should sell my music and get some money off of my hobby
I make comic books and stickers. So far, I believe Iโve made 70 comics (2 books) and 30 stickers. I made stickers of Athena and Selene. The Selene sticker turned out amazing. I really wish I could upload a picture on BP but since Iโm not on a computer, the website wonโt allow me
Probably not a cool hobby. I love history and art. Sometimes I download photos from archive websites and colorize them in Photoshop.
I rock climb and ski :)
Calligraphy.
Novice calligrapher here.
I can also do native Baybayin (ancient Filipino alphabet) writing/calligraphy.
Such interesting hobbies! I am old. I never made time for me or a hobby, now my days are long and I still have no hobby. Lol! I have no talent. So I really don't know where to go from that!
