I'd also like to learn wire wrapping jewelry. Another thing
I would like to take a class in is decorative painting.

I'm still enthusiastic about learning glass slumping. So far all I do is read about it and watch intently when they do demo's on tv.

This link will take you to one of my favorite sites... check out the Angel Earings. They look like a simple wire project

Here is a link that might be useful: wire wrapping patterns & instructions

Where are they ? By the way -- that is such a cool site - I know where I'll be spending my time !

Those are adorable !

I want to know ALL about the slumping... and frustrating fusing!!!!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE glass. What kind of kiln do you have? What was so frustrating about fusing? Post pictures!!!!

Crochet would be nice to learn, I'd love to do a rag rug that is crocheted.

Hi,
I would like to learn rug hooking or rug braiding. Does anyone know of a good place to begin learning? I am new to this forum (I usually hang out in the Laundry Room!) but I would love to find out more about this forum also! Thanks!

Catlover... welcome!!!

There are a ton of rug braiding sites to choose from. The link will take you to one with simple instructions.

Nodakgal, crochet rugs are really enjoyable to make. You use a huge hook so it moves along very quickly, and the patterns are typically simple.

If I were you I'd have a friend or relative show me how to crochet. It's so much easier to see somebody do it and then have them walk you through it. I looked up the instructions online and they made it look a lot more complicated and difficult than it actually is. Maybe that's just me... I'm a lefty so visualizing the instructions in reverse is always a pain in the arse. I just think it's easier to see the real thing than to see little black and white drawings.

I would to learn basket weaving....and to work with metals also.....

I would love to learn how to make stained glass, but I don't think I can afford it.

well..I weave baskets, quilt, teach my Grandson Origami and sew lots of clothes for my Granddaughters. I knit once in awhile too, but STAINED GLASS ~ now I could find the time I know I could ! HA! Kathy

Cloth dolls, paper mache, stenciling, origami. chery2

I'd like to learn to dye silk for scarves, etc.

Another would be making jewelry and other items from polymer clay. I think I could learn that if I had the time.

I would like to relearn tatting. My grandmother taught me in the early sixties but I don't remember how!! WAAH :)
SewBe It

I would like to learn welding, stained glass and glass slumping/fusing and mosiacs. Also hypertufa. The things they make on the Garden Junk and hypertufa forums are awesome!
I already do crochet, painting, woodworking, and garden junking, as well as gardening itself. I have done crewel, cross stitching, sewing (clothes, stuffed animals and dolls), knitting, cake decorating, Florals, some beading and wire bending. My favorite site for wire and beading is
wigjig.com
Now I pick and choose.. I found that knitting wasn't for me, cakes were fun but I am slow, got tired of sewing (the last big thing I made was DD's wedding gown)and embroidery/cross stitching was sort of boring to me. I enjoy learning things, but don't always LIKE the craft.
Are any of you that way?

Soooo wish I could find someone to teach me (a lefty) tatting.
Pictures just don't do it for me...it's gotta be more hands on.
