@Lithium: Fall foliage is beautiful this time of the year. I learned about a lot of trees when I was little for the ones I didn't know I asked people who did know or used a book to help tell me. Bark on a young Ash tree is just weird.

@FUZZY: Aww, thank you ♥
I ended up getting to help replace the thingy that wasn't working in the physics lab. I wasn't around to post last night 'cause traffic was awful so I stayed at work late rather than trying to fight my way home xD

I s'pose I have a few other fun things that I do. I love playing Left4Dead2, Deep Rock Galactic, Back4Blood, Stardew Valley, Raft, and Minecraft with friends. We've been starting to play online minigolf again lately too, which is kinda fun.
I also really love Pokemon, and I've been having fun with Pokemon Violet and the new DLC (I need to pick it up again though).

Other than computer stuff (I work in IT, so there's a lot of that xD), I like to craft too. My main thing is making chainmaille jewellery, but I haven't touch that in a while. I'm also trying to learn to knit because there are so many pretty yarns ♥

@Alchemists Fire: I haven't heard the word chainmaille jewellery in years, I've seen some interesting stuff made with chainmaille. Sounds like a lot of games I've heard of a few of them before, I used to watch someone play minecraft by streaming it but I'm not friends with that person no more. Sorry to hear that you had to stay late at work. Traffic that's not good

@FUZZY: I mostly do earrings and bracelets, and helped a friend make a keychain with some LEGO pieces last week which was really fun. I'd like to get back into experimenting with incorporating beads more.
I also started trying to learn macramé at one point and wanted to try and make bracelets with some of those techniques and was thinking it might be neat to combine the two

It amazes me what some people do though, I've seen sculptures and clothing beyond just 'maille armour that just blows my mind. I think there's also a few people that have knitted armwarmers with the scales typically used for scalemaille.

Do you do any arts or crafty things?

@FUZZY: Ohh, wire wrapping is so pretty! I've seen so many pieces I absolutely love, and kinda wish I could wrap (haha) my head around how to do it. I think it'd be neat to combine a wire-wrapped pendant with a chainmaille necklace

Do you have any photos of your work? I'd love to see ♥

@Alchemists Fire: i used too, but not anymore. Try watching videos about wire wrapping, best thing I can say is this some metals that you wrap with go soft and bend very easy like sterling silver. Some metals are thick and hard to work withs. You need two different gauges sometimes, I've found a few on yt that do wonders with wire wrapping.

@FUZZY: I use different metals and gauges in chainmaille, so I totally understand that some are harder to manipulate than others. Aluminum is far easier to work with than steel, but then again steel probably doesn't get used much for wire wrapping, it looks like copper is the more common one.
I would've loved to have seen some of your work =) What kind of jewellery do you make?

@Ruby: Thank you, I love witches, and other spooky and non spooky things.

@Alchemists Fire: I make earrings, necklaces, bracelets, anklets. I haven't seen anyone wirewrap with steel, or Aluminum. Most either wirewrap with cooper, or sterling silver.

@FUZZY: Oh nice, that sounds awesome! I do most of those as well, although I don't do nearly as many necklaces as I do earrings and bracelets. D'you have any photos of your jewellery?

I wasn't meaning to imply that people wirewrap with steel or aluminum, that's just what I have experience with from chainmailling. I think sterling silver would be too soft for chainmaille, but copper would work.

@Vampiretaco: I've only ever saw photos of Rainbow Eucalyptus, but Eucalyptus smells great.

@Alchemists Fire: sterling silver is really soft, and I understand, I did, but not at the moment. I'll have to take photos, once I find them again, most are put away at the moment.

@FUZZY: Totally understand, a lot of my chainmaille stuff is put away at the moment. I have an Instagram for my jewellery but I'm really bad about keeping it up to date. I haven't made anything in quite a while >_<

Do you have any plans for Halloween?

If you can’t say something nice, Don’t say anything at all!
