I ain't got no skillz Christmas craft gift exchangez!
Ok, so I have a plan:
Come Christmas time I never have enough money to give my friends presents because I am perpetually a poor student. But, I like giving presents, so this makes me sad!
This year, I thought it would be fun if people who were interested all made things to give each other. The quality isn't important - it's the fun of making the thing and the giving that counts!
So, probably the best way for this to work is if everyone who is interested comments here, and then also lists the things that they would be willing to make/are interested in making and then I guess people can choose things that they would like? Or you can just make whatever. I just thought that the listing might make it easier to choose what to make for which person.
I'm kind of also going to use this as motivation to try things I've wanted to do but have been too lazy or whatever. Maybe you can too?
Anyway:
Things I can make with varying levels of skill/things that I want to make:
- Drawings of things (I would like to try to do some kind of cool comic-book style dynamic arts with colour of some kind because it's not something I have put a lot of time into pursuing, but would be awesome to be able to do!)
- Clay sculptures of things
- Wooden things - I want to try carving a pendanty amulet type thing.
- 3D things - I guess I could do 3d modelling of something? In like 3Ds Max, Sketchup or Maya or Artlantis. I'm not talking about physical models here. Also I don't know why anyone would want a render of a thing :P
I think that is all. I am also interested in Knitted things and cross stitch things, but since I have never done them before they are likely to take me a million years/I am likely to want to keep them. So I can do these things if you want but I guess I would rather do a different thing. :)
Bring forth the comments!
