Do you make stuff?

So Iā€™m taking a fly tying class because when you get to middle age you have to either get into flyfishing, competitive bbq or beer making (apparently).

These lilā€™ guys were my first few attempts. The biggest one is under an inch long the two smaller are only about 1/4ā€. This scratches my itch to make stuff and my desire to be outside when I canā€™t. Itā€™s pretty satisfying stuff, despite being covered in string, fuzz and bits of feathers.

Fun! Small projects are super satisfying! Where did you get the supplies for it?

A lot of it is kinda specialized (fur, hair, certain types of feathers, tungsten beads) so it comes from the fly shop where Iā€™m taking the class. Other stuff like chenille, the sparkly stuff, elastic things, some types of wire/thread can come from craft/hobby shops too.

This is so cool, Cory. Really. Good job!
 
Does anyone watch the show Making It? Itā€™s back on and Iā€™m so happy to see everything that is made. Itā€™s all so fantastic.

What have yā€™all been making?
It's on the DVR. I wanted to watch it with my daughter who is also a crafty girl. Her favorite thing is her glue gun, and lately she's been making mini things for barbie.
 
PROGRESS. This is actual vector graphics, not that far from being a font you can use to type nā€™ stuff. Not anywhere near to being done though, still have a few characters to work out, and then shoving them all into the computer, and I think I should make the thin lines thicker. BUT PROGRESS.
