Here are a few samples of some of my hobbies.
This time: Kusudame (also known as Origami)

Wow!! Those are truly beautiful, really quite stunning. Kudos to you, I would definitely not have the patience for such intricacies, they are so detailed. Do you sell your work anywhere?
 
Thank you.
Nope, they are just a hobby. Those are the results of the first try after seeing some tutorials. The modular ones really take some time. The swan for example is made of 500 tiny pieces of paper. I offered some of them as gifts. Some were torn by my cat. A few remained intact at home.
There`s really nice stuff you can make if you have the patience and time for it. This hobby was sort of a calming method for me in stressful periods.
 
Impressive, theres nothing better than a creative hobby to relax and calm down after a stressful day
 
Thank you. Indeed. Stress and anxiety can be directed and used creatively. Besides that, when making Kusudame, I can think better and clearer, so it also helps me concentrate. Hm, kind of weird, when I think about it.

Thank you, Triple Bogey. (hug)
Well, I don`t know how much of it is talent, but I was surprised to see that simply following the instructions led to a beautiful result. I was indeed really happy when I first saw them done. *sigh* Hope I`ll soon have some time to try and make some new. I saw some models that looked very complicated and what really puzzled me when seeing some tutorials, was that many of them are made by men. Hm.

I am useless at making things. I always have been. Hated craft at school.

You do have patience, or else how would you take those wonderful photos, while freezing with your hands on the camera?

The cat is very much alive and grumpy when photographed. He even ruined some Kusudame I made.

Thank you Mr. YellowCat and Minus. They are nice decorations in the house. You should see what awesome stuff others, much more skilled, do.

lol, Peaches, you should have seen him messing my pile of tiny pieces of paper when working on the kusudame and hear me yelling at him; then not giving up and having his say after I finished my work. Pfff, quite a fight we had (still have). I`ve given up trying to reason with a cat, lol, so I guess he`s earned himself the crown.
