I'm glad to have found this community because I've been dying to find a place where I can ramble about my crafts to other people (aside from my own journal, but I think my friends are tired of hearing about it, lol.)

Let's see...short gamer girl, wearer of glasses, herder of cats.
My crafts range all over the board. Ink and pencil drawings, charcoal, painting (acrylic/oil), crocheting (badly), staining/decorating boxes, metal and bone work, oil pastels, some leather work, costuming/costume make-up...And I'm probably forgetting some, lol.
Oh, and I make miniature hats.



I had insomnia for a few nights and just started making them out of sheer boredom. They've been turning out well so far, and I like making them. This one has raised gold dots on the fabric with black lace and tulle, and cream teardrop beads.
Please excuse the crappy photo, but so far it's the best one I have of this particular hat, which is my favorite so far.
I make my own hat forms for the most part, as it's a bit more difficult to form the fabric to a pre-made form. Plus, I can have fun with the forms and do a bit more with them than I can a pre-made form.
My hats are wearable as well.
So far I've just been making the hats for myself and friends, but I've been told I should sell them on Etsy or at conventions I go to. I'm not confident in the construction of the hats as being good enough, plus there are others that make them much nicer than I do, so I just enjoy it as a hobby at the moment.

What do you guys think?
And what is your favorite craft to do?

I've been considering getting into decopodge recently. Is there anyone out there that does this and how do you find it to be like? Any suggestions for a newbie on it?
