I was browsing through a listing of arts and crafts on display at an upcoming festival. My attention was caught by some I’d never or rarely heard of before. Others are more common. I’ll mention them here because they may be ones you’d like to explore. Some you even may want to try yourself.

- Pine needle baskets
- Old chairs with crazy paint jobs
- Paintings on old windows
- Hand painted pots & frames
- Torch work glass beads
- Origami
- Kiln formed glass
- Lace making
- Turned wood
- Creels
- Sculpted candles
- Forged silver jewelry
- Silk creations and scarves
Have you ever made any of these?
I’m primarily a fiber artist, but I love to create origami and torch-worked glass beads as well. I enjoy having a few different crafts that I can make – it seems to keep things fresh and interesting for me
I’ve also made bobbin lace and silver jewelry as well…
