I have tried making baskets, bags, hats, home decors and other stuff using indigenous materials or recycled ones. Doing this is so relaxing and I enjoy it so much. Two years ago, I started making beaded jewelries. My firends liked the pieces that I made so they asked me to make customized pieces for them and even introduced me to their friends who also bought some of my creations. I stopped making beaded jewelries when I got very busy in school. Now that Im done schooling, Im ready to work on making new pieces of jewelries and producing some other crafts. What craft do you enjoy doing?

My favourite craft is cardmaking. I also enjoy scrapbooking. Ive made and swapped the odd ATC (artist trading cards) in the past too. Im also wanting to try quilling one day, I have all the materials I just need to sit down and practice!

A great craft website is www.docrafts.co.uk Its got a great crafting forums. Its UK based but ev€eryone is relly friendly and can give great ideas and advice. I usually get alot of my cardmaking ideas from there website and magazine. I just thought I'd share that link with you!:)

Thanks for the link. I checked on it and it's cool. I enjoyed viewing the pictures of the crafts that others did. Enjoy your artwork!

i also was into beaded jewelry a year or so ago but have been pretty busy crocheting as of late. One for my grand daughter when she was born in '07 and then now for my other grand daughter due in June. So that is what I am currently enjoying to do.

Congrats on a new grand daughter! Enjoy crocheting...:-)

I do many kinds of crafts,candle making,beading,scrapbooking,latchook.I guess it depends on what my circumstances are.I mean like where I am.I need more space and a stove as well as a few hours time to make candles.Where the beading and latchook takes less space and can be portable.Latchook is not as technical as beading.For instance it can be done in the car or on the bus.With beading they can be dropped and hard to find on the bus floor!

I can't really choose a particular craft that I like the best,it also depends on what mood I am in and what the need is.For example,if my friend was having a baby I would probably want to make a baby scrapbook or a latchook rug. happy

I do cardmaking with rubber stamps...scrapbooking...painting on glass and some sewing. I really enjoy the time I spend in my craft room. I think it's relaxing and also you have some instant gratification from holding something in your hand that you acutally created!


merlibradley (39)   ranked 84 out of 1,400 in crafts  8 months ago

I haven't tried painting on glass but I want to try it when I get time. It's cool that you have a craft room. I work on my crafts in my bedroom. Sometimes I bring the materials in the livingroom and work there. Thanks for the response.

I have made jewelry and some other things and I teach children to make things. I am curious to see some of your items you have made from indigenous materials. Do you have any photographs that you can share with us here on myLot?


merlibradley (39)   ranked 84 out of 1,400 in crafts  8 months ago

I will take some pictures when I go back to our old house in the province so you can see them. It may take long coz our summer classes will start on monday and I can't go back to the province (it's very far from here) until the summer classes are over. I am teaching in a university in one of the cities in southern Philippines. Thanks for the response.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Canellita (3037)   ranked 27 out of 1,400 in crafts  8 months ago

Your summer classes are beginning already? We are still in our spring term. Classes are not over until June.


merlibradley (39)   ranked 84 out of 1,400 in crafts  8 months ago

Here in the Philippines summer is on April and May. June is the start of the rainy season. We call it the first semester in the school calendar. The first semester is from June to October. Second semester from November to March. Then summer term from April-May.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Canellita (3037)   ranked 27 out of 1,400 in crafts  8 months ago

That is very interesting. We are entering the 4th quarter in a couple of weeks and the students will get out in June for summer break. School will start again in August for the fall term. (K-12)

Good you found something you enjoy doing.
I used to read books, swallow them, daily.
I could not go by without having a book.
Now, my life it's a little bit busy, with teenagers and financial problems, so I have no time for reading.
Except for the time I'm in the washroom (lol) and that's for newspapers on;y.
Oh, yes, I do slve some Sudoku puzzles before getting to sleep.This helps me relax and get ready for the night.
You go ahead with what you're doing, don't quit.It's awesome to something that you like and continue enjoying this!


merlibradley (39)   ranked 84 out of 1,400 in crafts  8 months ago

Thanks for the response. I love reading too but I love working on my crafts more. I always have a new copy of the entrepreneur magazine. I also read chemistry books for my job LOL. Enjoy life!

I like knitting and crocheting, especially, if the pattern is very simple. This allows me to create the piece without too many interruptions. Now and again I like to create an intricate piece. happyhappyhappy


merlibradley (39)   ranked 84 out of 1,400 in crafts  8 months ago

I would love to try making those when I have time. Thanks for the response:-)

I learned to crochet not too long ago, and I'm making my boyfriend an afghan. I also love to sew, but it's hard to find patterns that I actually like.

I found a tutorial a while ago on making books, and I've been saving up some nice paper to try it out. Scrapbooking is a lot of fun, too!


merlibradley (39)   ranked 84 out of 1,400 in crafts  8 months ago

Yes, scrapbooking is fun! Thanks for the response:-)

I also enjoy beading I have a preference for bracelets and for a while I made so many that I also sold them, actually quite well. My inspiration has run low and I stoped beading until the muse comeback, In the other hand I enjoy painting and even thou I am no Van Gogh, I do relax while painting.


merlibradley (39)   ranked 84 out of 1,400 in crafts  8 months ago

Painting is cool! Enjoy...thanks for the response:-)

I don't know if this would be considered as a craft but well i love making stuff from white clay^_^ Sometimes i'd make just plain happy birthday sculptures or maybe even make a jewelery box, yea out of clay. Just a simple one at that. But most of the times, i only make stuff to give as gifts to friends and family.=D


merlibradley (39)   ranked 84 out of 1,400 in crafts  8 months ago

That's nice! Thanks for the response.
