Post by: SparklersOasis on February 26, 2012, 02:53:04 PM
I'm a bit ADD when it comes to hobbies, and I was just curious as to any non pony hobbies anybody has.  I'd love to see pics, here's a few random of mine:

I write and game and play with my pets. Most of my hobbies really do involve ponies or dolls.

Oh man, leatherwork is awesome! It's one of those things that I regard as really interesting, but has always remained a mystery to me.

It's pretty obvious I'm into music, and I'm also into traditional photography. 90% of what I shoot is film. I have a photography portfolio here; http://www.photo.doctormowinckel.com

Aside from my many collections (Pullips, Monster High, Jem, etc.)...

I like dressing up in costumes/cosplaying.

Those leather masks are really cool!

Besides customizing ponies, I read a lot of science and natures books, collect and play video games, and stick a lot of things under my microscope.

Last year I was given a telescope and have taken a liking to astrophotography-

LOL Would you believe that's actually a reduced number? Everyone around tends to dump their unwanted creatures on us. Lately though we are trying to not let anymore come in as they became very much a full time job for a while.

Absolutely, it seems that word gets around if you take in one, you end up the neighborhood shelter!  I'm down to my rescue dog (basset x pit if you can picture that), my inlaw's cat they had to get rid of when they moved to canada, my gecko I got way back in 7th grade, and another gecko from the shelter.

The Photo Finish costume was handmade except the ears were made by Yaya Han and the wigs I bought on ebay.


The ballgown I bought from a lady in Oregon and the fangs were custom made for me by a fangsmith in New York.

I know how you feel about having hobby ADD... I've tried out everything looking for something I really like (sometimes I feel like one of the cutie mark crusaders! x), the things that have really stuck with me though are: Fashion, crafts (knitting, crochet, generally making things), collecting ponies (obviously), reading, drawing and visiting flea markets... There are photos of all these exploits at my blog (http://www.bookworm-blog.com/).
Although in the future I'd really like to get into making doll clothes and dioramas, as this seems to combine crafting, collecting and buying second hand stuff, so it sounds like just the thing for me x)

I collect Sylvanian Families - I have over 1000 figures, and counting. My garage is now a toy room for all my silly stuff. I love setting up Sylvanians for photo scenes, and G4s fit in perfectly with a lot of the accessories.

I also collect the Littlest Pet Shop Blythe dolls, and I used to play Magic the Gathering and DDR competitively. I also enjoy playing video games, board games, baking, card and paper craft, singing, and looking after our animals: 2 dutch rabbits, 2 very elderly gerbils that are somehow still alive after nearly 4 years (I will miss those little guys when they pass away  :cry: ), and a cat who decided to make us her new owner.

I adore caring for children, and I am a young leader of a local Brownie pack.. we have ever so much fun with the girls!

Sorry it took so long to respond, short attention span and all  :P


That particular mask took quite a bit longer, mostly because it was my first mask and there was quite a bit of detailed tooling.  This level of tooling would probably take me 3-4 hours, plus time to cut it out and smooth the edges.  Wet molding takes about 30-40 minutes, but then you have to let it dry overnight or else you'll trap the moisture in the paint.  After drying comes the paint and sealer!  Typically when I have a mask project, it takes either one afternoon off for cutting out and tooling, and an evening for painting/sealing, or three evenings.  Thicker leather takes longer to tool/mold/cut out.  Hope that helps!  I have more masks in my devart account if you're interested

So cool some of the hobbies you all have. Amazing masks and lolita outfits! I've always thought cosplay looked like lots of fun. I made a pony costume based off of G3 Desert Rose. My mom did all the sewing but I embroidered her rose cutie mark on the skirt. ^.^


My passion that consumes almost all my spare time is crocheting. I taught myself a few years back just to make a bag and i was hooked (hah!) Started with mostly beanies, moved to blankets and scarves and then started doing tiny stuff with crochet thread. This is just a small sampling.  :biggrin:

Hello, my name is Lavender and I am a hobby-o-holic.  :P  I have so many, really more hobbies than time.  However other than being a mom and taking care of my kiddos, I read a lot, do nutrition research, costuming, make boutique children's clothing, fabric and felt applique, crazy quilting, cross stitch, embroidery, jewelry making, textile art, decorative interior painting (like murals and faux finishing), cook a lot (mostly vegan/vegetarian and bread baking), and as a family we love hiking national parks.  I also dabble in photography, but my camera sucks so that's another one of these days when I get a better camera type hobbies.  I would love to take up leather working, but it's out of my price range right now to invest in yet another hobby.  One of these days I'll get around to blogging about my recipes, but that's another thing I haven't found the time for.

St. Patty's Day outfit I made for my daughter:

  I have so many, really more hobbies than time.

I think we need to start a club, because I was just going to say the same thing. I also have more hobbies than time. I've actually suffered from hobby burnout because of this!

Aside from collecting ponies, here are a few things I do:

I write comics (http://www.wishfulfillment.kappacino.com (http://www.wishfulfillment.kappacino.com))

I draw, take photographs and make puppets (http://xkappax.deviantart.com/ (http://xkappax.deviantart.com/))

I sing (but I'm too shy to post that stuff here, I think :O)
I play guitar (although I'm not very good)

I animate. (www.kappacino.com (http://www.kappacino.com))

I make Perler bead sprites: (http://www.kappacino.com/wordpress/?p=258 (http://www.kappacino.com/wordpress/?p=258))

I love to cook, too, although I'm not fantastic at it!

And, last but not least, I play video games!

I do Yoshukai Karate, I bead, craft, used to do ceramics, cross stitch, (want to learn quilting), cook, read, and play video games.  I love to do anything crafty...

I also write, and I've done...3 novels and one is being worked on with DH. (ok, more like ten are being worked on with DH, but they aren't close to being done yet, lol) I also to a writing-based role play on Avalon, though I haven't been on in a while...everyone keeps wanting me to come back, but I've been busy, lol. 

Oh yeah, and I collect Breyers and Grand Champions, and OMG PONIES!  xD  betcha no one else has that hobby around here >.>  <.<




And I love to dance.  =]  Country western and trying to learn some other styles.

Sparklers - your leather and chain maille work is stunning!

I collect various things (MLP, Barbie, Disney, X-Men, LLL, chihuahua/dog stuff, and some Harry Potter) And I love to draw :) I don't really come up with personas or OC's, I like to draw fan art ^_^ I also love to bake and deocorate cakes and cookies :D Something I grew up doing with my mom :)
 
kaninchen - I love your dolls! The first reminds me of Cinderella, she's so lovely, I love peasant dresses :)

I think we need to start a club, because I was just going to say the same thing. I also have more hobbies than time. I've actually suffered from hobby burnout because of this!



LOL So true!  Or at least a "you know you're a hobby -o- holic when...." list.  Your fraggles are really awesome!  <3 fraggles!! 

kaninchen - Your dolls are beautiful!  I love their expressions!

I can't seem to stop with the hobbies. Once I finish one, I just move onto something else, lol.

And thanks for the kind words on the fraggles. I love fraggles too! My husband helped a lot with those. He's MUCH better at crafts than I am. It gives us something to do together. Right now, he and I are using our rainy nights making ourselves a pony plush. :) After that, Wembley Fraggle. Although I'm sort of dreading it. I bought all the materials, but I know he won't turn out right. I've been working on the planning of his pattern since 2010. :O

I have to give major kudos to ANYONE who can do a craft. I'm more of the drawing sort of person. I struggle when it comes to craft stuff. My stuff often looks fine in photographs, but when you get close to it, it looks sloppy ! lol!

Generally I do alot of things, but not enough of them to get really good, but it's still fun.
- Crafting: I love decorating things like boxes. Being a teenager my budget has its limits, so I've taken a liking to decorating things I already have or things I can use, like magazine holders and those nifty boxes you hang on the wall.
- Being a drama student I've gained the ability to analyze everything (except people), and since I almost constantly do it, I regard it as a hobby.
- I love to sing and have taken singing lessons for roughly seven years.
- Taekwondo too.
Snd of course PONIES but you already know :P
