This thread is dedicated to people who do crafts and use their creative imaginations and applicable skills to bring their ideas to life.

From writing to wood-working and more, describe what you do here and let others know your talents.

I'm a creative writer barely started in the furry fandom. I mainly focus upon adult and mature stories about my own characters and those of my boyfriend. I haven't had much to really inspire me lately, but I'm going to try to gain inspiration by the new year in order to write my boyfriend a beautiful story.

I'm also starting to do minor paper-crafts, which I'm starting with a hardened-paper 4-piece balisong knife (Two for the blade, one for each handle) which also includes thumb-tacks and eraser-pieces for the connectors.

Then I'm going to move on to a normal dagger and eventually a 6-shooter revolver using instructional videos and tutorials found on youtube.

Paper is by far the easiest material for me to work with right now, as it's relatively inexpensive per piece, usually comes in abundance, and is easy to re-use should a mistake be made, not to mention it allows for a lot of flexibility in how you make things.

For my first two paper balisongs, I'm using unique blade shapes. One will be styled like a Kriss dagger (More like a Daedric Dagger from Oblivion than a Kriss, but with similar curves), and for the second I'm thinking possibly taking a request on the shape of the blade. I won't be able to post a picture right away, but I will post one eventually after it's completed and decorated properly.

So guys and gals, get posting ^w^

When I was in university, I had an article purchased by a journal but it was never published. And I have had fiction published in local publications. But I'm not much of a writer.

I grow things. Link Link

I was overly limited with this.

I draw using traditionnal methods, I sometimes colour using digital media, I write both fiction and non-fiction. I'm also fond of cross-stitch, attempting to knit (seriously) and I love creating concepts for games.

Shame this wasn't multiple choice.

Agreed. I do a lot of those things.

I like to draw on paper.

Same. Everything, but the writing.

Yes, I know how to knit, use a sewing machine, and hand stitch. All of which are enjoyable things to do and requires a lot of patience.

I always draw traditionally, whether it's using a fineliner, pacer, pen, pastels, chalk etc. But almost all of the time, I use graphite pencils.

Ever since becoming a graphic designer and an illustrator, I've used photoshop a lot more than what I used to on the computer. At the moment, I'm working on vectors and pixel art. They're the things that I need to practice on a lot.
