As an artist I make a good mechanic
This is what my teachers in school told me. I learn the skill but have no talent.
I attended a boarding school that specialized in the arts, during which time I got the addicted to learning new crafts and such but am not really good at any.
I do stained glass (mostly foil technique)
Mosaics made out of tile; have done coat of arms for a friends entry etc.
I was taught how to weave and do textile design in school.
I have also done large sculptures out of wire and concrete. And have done a miniature of a kinetic, I would love to create full size but don’t know where I would put an 8 foot high out door piece, plus I don’t think I have the balance perfect yet it keeps stopping.
Wood block prints.
Oh and we have remodeled 5 houses.
My husband laughs that when I have nothing but time in retirement how much space will I need and have I figured the cost of these hobbies into our budget? I love doing this stuff but none of it is very good,
