What creative type craft thing are you most proud of having made? I used

[applegrove]

to sew swimsuits and made some great ones and some not so great ones. But my favourite craft thing has to be when I glue gunned dried flowers to a mirror. It was gorgeous. The flowers were all turquoise and burgundy and surrounded the frame. I loved myself a glue gun at that stage of my life. I sold it to a 12 year old girl in a yard/sidewalk sale.

2. I build early American longrifles.

The lower one is a flintlock re creation circa 1770
The upper one is a re-creation of cap lock Vincent made between 1830 to 1860.

The lower one took me over three years to complete but I was working at the time and had never done anything like this before. The upper one took about five months but I was retired by then and had learned quite a bit from building the first one.



This is the first shot from the flintlock at the range.



I made the hunting pouch and powder hornes too. Keeps me out of trouble. Idle hands...

3. My dear applegrove!

I've done a bunch of sewing, and knitting over the years, but this camera strap has brought me more happiness than those...

The camera can be replaced, but not this strap!

4. I restore antiques, but it's not something that shows off.

The better you do it, the less anyone knows you did it.

5. Uh, yeah...

I can't draw a straight line with a ruler.

I picked out great paint colors for my house.

6. Yup. My talents lie in picking out great colour combinations too. I'm too lazy to decorate

my apartment though.

7. I had a brief, clumsy glassblowing period.

I only did it for about a year and I really loved it. I'd have to get back in shape to do it again. I've got a few lopsided, pretty crude but overall really cool bowls that I'm inordinately proud of.
