Post your mad crafting skills!

AnimalLover420 · 05-08-2005, 11:35 PM

When I'm baked, my favorite thing to do is make stuff. I know lots of other chicks who are the same way. I personally looooove making beaded and hemp jewelry, and I also sew and sculpt w/ clay. I enjoy painting, but I can't say I'm too great at it. I know there are some KICKASS artist chickies out there, so let me hear about it!

Soakedloopie · 05-09-2005, 08:31 AM

I love crafting too.

I love to make soap, candles, glass beads, hand painted furniture, mosaic tile... All kinds of stuff, as the mood strikes me.

Here are some birdhouses that I made for my mother and a couple of chairs that I painted for a pediatricians office and some of my bath products.

And ya know what else I really like??? Flip flops! hehehe

Soakedloopie · 05-09-2005, 01:30 PM

Oh! I wasn't trying to prod you along, I promise. I was just letting you know how awesome I think it is!!!

deadhead94 · 05-09-2005, 01:32 PM

I'm pretty crafty, craftier than thou......

AnimalLover420 · 05-10-2005, 02:34 AM

Man, you guys ARE crafty! Very talented chicks we've got around here. Anyway, here are some of my hemp and beaded jewelry creations.

AnimalLover420 · 05-10-2005, 02:38 AM

I usually give away most of the jewelry I make, but here are some bracelets I actually kept for myself. I like to use gemstone beads such as jade, pearls, sandstone, coral, rose quartz, and malachite. I also love wooden and bone beads.

AnimalLover420 · 05-10-2005, 02:44 AM

I handmade all the beads in these pics out of polymer clay. If you ladies have never tried crafting with clay, you've got to try it. The first is me modeling an array of different clay beads. The second is a fancy roachclip that I made. It really gets the job done, there's plenty of room to grip it so it's easy to pass.

The last pic is of a purse I made that I've been carrying lately.

hi, i make hand made cards of all varietys i have included one of my recent cannabis leaf cards. handmade leaf made from fimo!! original design. the leaf had much more detail than shown on the pic it had the veins on it. the coloured back ground has been embossed to have bubbles on it then the silver webing paper cut in to a circle then cut in half.
Any ideas welcome, if you wanna get a custom made card give me a shout i will see what i can do for you.
i also like to mess around with photos and make them in to art , this is a photo of me played with, i can do it with pics of anything, good for messing about with when stoned.

Claire, those kick ass!! Have you ever tried scrapbooking? You'd be great at it. I feel a need to put all my memories in a fancy book because otherwise, I may lose or forget them.

**AlteredStateGrl** · 05-17-2005, 02:12 PM

i craft cards and scrapbooking and stuff. I also like little wooden things...this is my special box. I love it love it love it...and made it

Okay, so I needed a bit of help with the carpentry ( okay...alot of help...thank you to my also handy hus band

) but i did paint, stain and decal it.

this picture of it was taken this weekend on a camping trip to the coast!! sooooo beautiful there!!

claire · 05-17-2005, 02:45 PM

hi, thank you all. Yes i have tried stamping i love it, prefer the more personal touch though. I was also thinking about doing some scrap books too.
Oh yeah and legalise it is correct as i am in the uk.

Claire
i have added a few more for you to see

AnimalLover420 · 05-17-2005, 03:18 PM

I loooove the "stoner heaven" one. That's just great.

**SweetSativa** · 05-18-2005, 11:17 AM

Cool gals!!!

I've never been particularly crafty ... BUT I can't have stuff in my garden without using it so I have now started making wreaths out of my honeysuckle vine and dried statice, yarrow, strawflower, etc... I'll have to take some pics.

It'sJustMe · 05-18-2005, 11:26 AM

^ Gardening takes skill sweetsativa, that's a craft in itself.

And making things from the resources you have in your garden is a wonderful craft!

I have always loved to garden and work in the dirt, I feel so connected. I do not have a particularly green thumb, but I try. This year I have really started to get pretty good at getting my cuttings and transplants and such to thrive. (I'm pretty proud)

I would love to see pics if you would like to share them!

AnimalLover420 · 05-18-2005, 11:26 AM

SweetSativa, that's awesome! Must smell sooo good. You're crafty and you didn't even know it!

Soulspeaker, I LOOOVE those book thongs. Excellent choice of beads too, are those lampwork? You wanna know something freaky, that book you used for the pic, God on a Harley, I have that book. I've had it since I was like 12, but I've never read it. Is it good?

kaytizzle · 05-18-2005, 11:59 AM

im not very crafty (although i sometimes pretend i am

) and i cant draw worth a damn, but i do cross-stitch and i like to color in coloring books and i have a journal in which i draw when im high and i write quotes of my friends that are funny and i dont want to forget. here are some pictures of a coloring i did, some cross-stitching that i am working on, and a doodle in my journal. theres also a quote from my sister that says "i've drooled in bongs mass times... its kinda like peeing in a lake."

edit: whoops i forgot to put the pictures in haha im high.
