Do you enjoy making jewelry?
Yes, I love it and have wanted to do it all my life but was busy working my .... off. Now I am retired and do whatever the heck I want all day.
Good to see you here Katmar and Welcome Cherryls bracelet.jpg peridot bracelet.jpg

    You have the perfect avatar for this thread :wub:
    Thank you. That my baby when she was a pup. She's 5, going on 6, and weighs a whole 7lbs. Thinks she's a Mastiff! LOVE her. She saved us when we lost our very precious other 2 a few years ago. I honestly don't know what we would have done if we didn't have her to take care of. You have fur babies? Pics?

    Love them. Is it really hard on your hands? I'd love to try.
    Thanks for the welcome. :)
    it is hard on my fingers. I am getting arthritis in them (natures cruel joke now that I have time) so nimble fingered work (making coils) getting harder and harder

    Yea, that could be a problem for me, too. I bought one of those zen diamond art things, and the pieces are SO tiny, it would REALLY strain my eyes, let alone what it would do to my hands. Re gifting to my niece. She will love it.

    I buy coils. I KNEW I wouldn't be able to do them. Not a problem. I'm stocked for about 3 years on them.
    I am getting more and more into ready made coils too. And hardware for them. Just bought a DRAG S and it has the teeny tinniest RDA thingy in it. I looked at it and was like NO WAY. My daughter, who always had me build her coils, assisted and I built and she was the eyes that installed. Last RDA I will attempt. I also just had to buy some pre-made's for a new Steam Crave Aromamizer Lite. I have tons of pre-mades but things were not looking like they should (at age 60 this happens) finally with help of other shiny folks I realized I needed counter clockwise wrapped coils. I mean can things get any more difficult?

    I have my pegasus minis and my aegis, and I use only Eleaf GS Air tanks. I gave up trying to keep up with all the latest a long time ago. I found a few things, liked them, and just stuck with them.
    I may stop over to the other group, but when I'm not Outside, I'm usually doing work for Amnesty International and Freedom House online and on the phone, mostly. I am RABID about equal rights for All. I used to be able to do SO much more, but I still do what I can on a part time basis. 10 years ago, you would have seen me out there with the peaceful protestors, too. Got to be too much. But I do what I can from home, when I can. So, I keep pretty busy, but I need to find a little hobby to keep me SANE!!!! :w00t:

    Those are great hobby's. I worked in Case Management for years and it always lead me to volunteering my time to help others. Case Managers for folks on Medicaid have to be creative and diligent in digging up resources so once I found them (the resources) I used them for anyone I could find that was needy.
    My hobbies are
    sewing hammocks for cats for shelters (don't laugh)
    Cat Rescue/fostering and trap neuter return (TNR)
    Making Jewelry
    Making juice DIY
    I want to learn to do mosaic art, specifically garden stepping stones.
    Who knows if I will ever learn it.

    I did a walkway of stained glass stepping stones from the house to the shop using scraps of glass left over from windows. It’s a lot of fun to do, but I have to have Himself mix and pour the concrete. Too heavy for my cranky back. You can do it with anything from stones and shells to broken pottery. Sort of like a backwards puzzle

    I love both those. You have such a good eye for composition. That’s a lot harder than people realize.
    it sure is. Sometimes I take apart everything I make because it looks good in my mind but not after I have put it together.
