I do, stay busy projects.
Build BBQue grills, wood burning heaters and utility trailers.

Writing this will sort of, bind me to a commitment to finish one.

I bought a trashed out travel trailer. The only thing worth using is the frame and axles.

My plan. To build a light weight mini home on it. The frame is 18'. I'm looking to make it 14' and have a screened porch on the back.

What projects do y'all do?

My actual hobbies are making jewellery with beads & chainmaille, which is my favourite. Also a bit of tapestry

That chainmaille looks like it would be tedious and take a very long time to make.

I've done a little jewelry and some beading small bottles using seed beads.

I find the chainmaille soothing. It looks daunting at 1st but it's a repeat pattern & an easier weave can only take 2 hours to do. I started bead weaving over 30 years ago when it wasn't popular so I had to go to a popular hippy

Sorry I hadn't finished what I was putting because I'm doing it on my mobile & I caught the reply! Any way I had to buy strings of love beads to get what I wanted because we just didn't have a proper supplier but I was happy doing it.

I had to look to see where you was from.
When I was doing the most of my bead work, I was in the Seattle area.
They had a couple great shops in the U District and at the Farmers Market.
Tacoma, Washington has 2.

If you can, sometime, post pictures of your work.

Would love to see it.

I'm in the Uk. I'll hunt out my bracelets tomorrow, they're still packed away after my move but I will put them up.

Cool. Be looking forward to it.

Chain-mail? Intriguing! You make and sell it for Larping?
Pictures!!

I have some photo's to put up but I need to find out how! I have to use my mobile to do this

Not sure but, I think you have to post them in your profile pictures

I will give it a try.

I've got them on my profile but couldn't find out how to get them on here. The 1st 2 photo's are the bead woven pieces & the others are chainmaille.

Taken from your page: (Hit the 'Quote' link on this post to see how.)





You can use a host like http://www.photobucket.com
for your pics, then use their code to post them here :-)

Thank you Sophiehere. I had no clue how to do it on my mobile.

Beautiful work.
I like how you was able to do the v.
You did that free hand order on a loom?

The chainmail is awesome!

Thank you :-D. I did them on a standard loom. I can't make them any more because I can't hold the needles now, they are like sharp hairs! I have seen some incredible newer bead work which I would loved to have tried but games won't let me. The maille is easier to do for me & I really enjoy doing it.

Nice! Love the chain-mail!

Thank you. I love making chainmaille.

I do beading on a loom, also beadweaving..Your jewelry is lovely.. I love the black multi color necklace, did you design this this or do you have a pattern? Maybe we could share some patterns as I have a couple of notebooks full of patterns..I also made jewelry for a long time, all styles and lots of different beads, gemstones and crystals.. I'll try to post some of my things...I sold a turquoise necklace (chunky turquoise beads)and matching earrings for $300.00..Lady didn't even blink an eye...lol
