allbingo is crafting!
As always there are public cards or you can make your own and the host explains
So if you're a crafter or like writing about crafts maybe visit the intro post and take a look! There's also a meet and greet post to share you crafting interests - my responses are there but I've added them under the cut
My Name :
meridian_rose, Lisa
Type(s) of Crafting that I’ve tried:
outside of virtual things like writing and graphics/photography I've dabbled in sketching, knitting, needle felting, scrapbooking, resin, baking, latchhook and I've got a punch needle kit to try. Also diamond art/crystal art which is less 'creative' but very mindful. I also made some Christmas gonks and walnut dioramas amongst other Christmas crafting (this post has some photos
I consider myself a Beginner, Intermediate, Master, or Other:
Mostly a beginner. I dabble a lot and am pleased when I actually complete a project.
Crafting I’ve loved and/or loathed:
needle felt projects! A mindful craftwhen you're not stabbing your fingers and it can be as basic/creative as you wish. My knitting is amateur hour but I've made some gift projects.
Project I’m particularly proud of:
I've got 3 things in this post with needle felt cat, latchhook cat cushion cover, and a diamond art robin
Something I learned the hard way:
felting needles are sharp. The warning culture has made me more sceptical of just how dangerous things actually are but these needles are SHARP for real.
Something I haven't done yet, but I'd like to try:
so many; leather, metalwork, stained glass, mosaics. I'd love to try resin again as it didn't go well last time I made paperweights.
Biggest crafting frustration(s):
expense. That's the major factor for not trying more things. Also crochet; I did it in the past but every time I try now I cannot get the tension right so I go back to knitting! No matter how much I try to always knit/purl and end on a purl row in a project (so I always begin with a knit row) I often mid-project get it muddled/twisted and end up with a 'wrong' row in my otherwise flat piece /sigh/
strong>Something else I'd like to share: I've been making craft posts at my journal usually tagged #crafts: other to distinguish from crafts: cooking but at some point I may have to add more specific tags. Alsoysabetwordsmith rec'd the craft community get_knitted which hosts discussions and provides encouragement for all kinds of crafts and I've been very much enjoying that one

"You can mix or match any of the prompt lists below or make your own - I'd love for people to add more items to my initial lists for this fest! Feel free to use the prompts in any way you want to create fills made of ANYTHING; fic, poetry, vid, podfics, recs, or handcrafts. Art, icons, and wallpapers. Fiber crafts, music, or animatics. And all the other mediums not listed are cool too. The only limit is your imagination."
