2. rug hooking tatting doll making quilting collage
3. plastic canvas woodwork (building stuff) candles carving beading glasswork (melted glass)
4. jewelry making. it is very interesting and requires alot of skill and knowledge about different stones and metals. alot of community colleges offer it in their art workshops. designing jewelry and manufacturing it, if you're lucky and good at it, can also be a very lucrative business
5. Go to your local library and ask about their craft books. then you can get an idea of what is needed and what you can do. you can make pretty things out of paper and glue if you're that clever.
6. do an art painting or drawing....
7. You can alway try scrapbooking! Its very relaxing plus it a great way to display all of your memories. You should try it sometime!
8. Photography, yes I dont care what people say you can use photography as an art. Graphic Design, there are many programs to help you with that. You can even get free preveiws of programs from their creators like Photo Impact (my favorite) I use the above alot, It is cool to make really interesting images and altering images to make something truely special. (I have made images of both my kids) Also.. a bit different is Chain Maile (arthurian armon) Ya know.. like what you see on lord of the rings and stuff.. really fun..
9. cross stitching-very fun! or latch hooking-very fun also! im sure u could get then both @ wal mart
10. how bout cooking,baking,or beading.
