This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

Nifty Fingers - The Arts and Crafts Thread!
'Kay! We know that there are amazing drawers/painters here in IRG ... but does anyone do any other type of craft? Potters? Scultptors? Weavers? Knitters? Etc? Is there anything you do that ... when you're not doing it ... makes your fingers itch when you're bored? Me? I knit and create some jewelry.
Any cosplayer that has made his/her own costume is, by default, already counted in (especially those that have made some awesome duelist signets and sewn their own uniforms)!
It doesn't matter if you're a pro at it or you're just a beginner: show off that domestic goodness!

Re: Nifty Fingers - The Arts and Crafts Thread!
I've made a bunch of really simple papercrafts, but I have no camera. (stuff like chibis made of paper cones and Snake's box. 
Not as impressive with half a paper EVA Unit-00 sitting on the desk across from mine, but still.
Sometimes I sculpt things out of playdoh. 
(Wants to see what everyone else does~)

Re: Nifty Fingers - The Arts and Crafts Thread!
Is this a craft or mere nerdery? 
A bead sprite of Valigarmanda from FF6. We called him Tritoch back in the day.

I am an actor cast eternally, Armless, legless, still existing I am,
The eternal me and the eternal stranger, I am all the mysteries in creation,
Male/female, positive/negative are the two of me, My birth, the absolute birth,
Even light casts shadows, making a pair out of me and me, I am disconnected,

Re: Nifty Fingers - The Arts and Crafts Thread!
I can't see it. 
I sew but... Just SO lazy. 
I don't usually get things done unless I'm getting paid.
I keep planing on making my own duelist-y coat, but... yeah. When I have time I never feel like doing it.
And I make alot of models. Though they kinda make me do that for architecture projects and stuff.
...I also have two hollow paper cats. For lack of being able to have real ones... And a small army of paper anime characters that I'm too afraid to breathe on so that they won't get crushed.

Craftiness is basically my life. If you can name it I've tried to make it in my basement with varying degrees of success.
Pictures will come later. D:
Hinotori made this post, and then went back and changed it later. Such is life.

I used to make chainmaille, both armor and jewelry. I have huge sheets of the stuff that I was going to make a shirt out of, but I couldn't get the seams right. If I start making jewelry again, I'll post pictures.
Pride is not the opposite of shame, but its source.

Re: Nifty Fingers - The Arts and Crafts Thread!
Chainmail??? That's. So. Cool!
This is a scarf I made two years ago. It's the only picture I have available at the moment. I taught myself how to knit and this was the first thing I came up with! (Yes, I have rosey bedsheets)
