Is there something you like to make/create or build??

What is it? If so, do you have any pics of it you'd like to share? Is it an expensive or cheap project/hobby?

I always loved granite pieces on tables and other places, but couldn't find what I was looking for. A few years ago I was searching for new coasters and couldn't find any I liked and started looking into making my own. The only idea I liked was using mosaic tiles, but I started thinking how big pieces would probably do what I wanted the granite to and at the same time be used as coasters. I loved the results.

The first two I made were brown and the others were a mix.. The last pic shows the one that took the most work. I designed it myself. I wasn't thinking when I bought the tile that it wouldn't fit- I figured I'd move them around a bit, but I couldn't. I ended up doing it piece by piece till I found something that fit and a style that I liked. What a pain in the a**, but in the end I think it came out the best. Pics don't even do it justice. It's an expensive hobby though 😒

@Livingwell they fly?! I admire quality craftsmanship like this, kudos to you sir

@SomeMichGuy I’ve thought about it but no.
Livingwell · 61-69, M
@xRedx Yes, they fly. This one has an eight foot wingspan and weighs almost 16 lbs. it’s electric and delivers 25lbs of thrust.

@SW-User When you can create something like that and you really enjoy them that makes it all the more worthwhile. Candles are so nice to have around. It really creates a nice atmosphere

Plants are my hobby and yes it can get expensive! 😁
newtomountainlife · 61-69, M
@KaysHealingPath no I think that's true I always talk to my plants!! I've always buy the dying plants on the discount rank and bring them back to life!! 😁

@newtomountainlife i just don't know her bad juju is messing with my plants. If she doesn't come over they're fine.
I had a long Pothos for about 8 years (since I moved into my apt) I grew it from a few clippings my brother gave me. It wrapped around the top of my living room (where the wall meets the ceiling) and when she started coming over at first she never said anything thinking it was artificial. Until she noticed it was real because it had gotten bigger.
Well her comments came again and bam a few days later it started dying.
I tried everything to sustain it but in the end it was nothing but the long vine without leaves. No new leaves would grow. Then the vine started dying too 😭

@MellyMel22 I'm a guitarist.

First one I made was in the early 80s with my dad. I was inspired by Brian May and aalan Holdsworth at that time

Pretty cool
It actually give me an idea on how to use all that left over material my husband has instead of letting him toss it in the trash!
These all look beautiful.
MellyMel22 · F
@KaysHealingPath Let me know how it goes 😸
KaysHealingPath · 36-40, F
@MellyMel22 i have to see if he's willing to save the scraps for me lol 😂
MellyMel22 · F
Amazingly beautiful...
MellyMel22 · F
@SomeMichGuy Thank you!
@MellyMel22 oh no...it is YOU who is talented. Nice designs.

And let me say that you could DEF sell these to well-heeled customers. And selling to the rich is a very lucrative thing, if you have a great product; yours is.

@SomeMichGuy Thanks!

I'm always working on projects... But the only projects where I've had to make stuff by hand recently have been for board games...

Though in the past when I did some YouTube videos I had to make some Claymation and art stuff.. But that was a really long time ago...
MellyMel22 · F
@SerenitiesScars Oh nice. That’s different 😸
Beatbox34 · 31-35, M
That's amazing. It doesn't look like its handmade.

I personally want to get a project car and start working on it. That requires time, money and patience.

Maybe someday I'll be able to do it.
MellyMel22 · F
@Beatbox34 Thanks!

I hope you get to that some day soon!
ReneeT · 61-69, F
Really nice stuff. I don't really build or create things that I can take pictures of. My favorite is to create music. I love to write it whenever I can.
MellyMel22 · F
