Type(s) of Crafting that I’ve tried: writing, drawing (analog and digital), sewing, knitting, origami, baking, scrapbooking, tie-dye, painting TTRPG miniatures, screenprinting, cricut-ing, cosplay.
I consider myself a Beginner, Intermediate, Master, or Other: Beginner at everything, and happy there! I love to dabble.
Crafting I’ve loved and/or loathed: I've loved playing with a cricut, especially to make designs for clothing! I feel unreasonably powerful when I borrow one. And I greatly enjoyed tie-dye. I will bake when I have to, but I don't enjoy it much.
Project I’m particularly proud of: I ran a tie-dye station at my workplace last summer and it was a big hit. Everyone had a blast. I learned how to solder this fall so I could make a light-up battleshell for a ninja turtle Halloween costume! For writing, my Hold Every Memory AU (TMNT) is what I'm most proud of!
Something I learned the hard way: Don't overbuy on supplies for your latest hobby just because stuff is on sale and you have Ideas. It may sit in your closet for decades. ...my closet is very full of Things.
Something I haven't done yet, but I'd like to try: Leatherwork, I suppose. (It seems like it would be very useful for my cosplay/DnD purposes.)
Biggest crafting frustration(s): I don't have much space to myself with my current living situation, so I don't have a dedicated table to lay supplies out on until they're done. It adds extra steps every time I want to sit down and work on a project, so I rarely find the drive to fully finish things.
Something else I'd like to share: I'm new to this community and just made this dreamwidth journal last weekend, so no crafting tags to share.
