I've had a go at weaving baskets using paper straws, since real willow is quite expensive. I enjoy the craft a lot, but would love to go to a class to learn more techniques and work with better materials.

I'm hoping that I'll be able to make some kind of cordage from local plants and make baskets that way using a coiling technique.

This is where I really got started with making crafts to sell. I started with a pack of felt tips and some blank cards from the discount shop when I'd just lost my job and my flat due to illness and was living on a campsite and friends' sofas.

I bought a few craft magazines, then someone donated enough for me to afford a die cutting machine and my collection has grown from there.

I've been crocheting since 2010 and it's one of the crafts I'm most proficient at. I don't really crochet things to sell, but I make things for myself and my nephew.

I got my first graphics tablet in 2001 and have been doing digital art on and off since then. Since I often get bogged down in the small details, I don't usually do full sized digital paintings anymore and just stick to making small graphics for myself.

I got started making jewellery through the rather surprising avenue of making stitch markers for a friend who knits. I chose blue lace agate, with metal letter charms to indicate increase, decrease, knit and purl.

Later, I landed on the idea of making memory wire bracelets with a message encoded into them, so the Morse Code Bracelet was born.

I wanted to learn to make my own socks, and since my attempts at knitting with needles haven't gone too well (think dropped stitches everywhere), I decided to give it a try on a knitting loom, which was much better.

I've taken a class on beginner's macramé, and made a reasonable plant pot holder. I enjoyed this a lot and have future macramé projects in mind.

I first got into needle felting when I found a small kit in a craft shop and decided to give it a try. I've got much better since my first attempts and a couple of felting classes, and am currently working on some more ambitious projects.

This one is a natural progression from the paper maché and polymer clay sculpting. I also recently got involved with a local group that rescues unwanted ceramic ornaments from landfill and charity shops and repaints them.

One of my favourite ways to use up scraps of paper or old magazines. It's a great craft for doing while I'm sitting down and zoning out in front of a TV series.

One of my favourite mediums for 3D sculpting. My ongoing project is a fairy house in the shape of a toadstool.

I've made my own paper a few times using recycled junk mail. It wasn't amazing, but I have plans to try making it out of different materials in future with inclusions like flower petals. I think I'd like bigger deckles before I try again though.

It's been a long time since I've done this, but I was very happy with the results I got when I tried. Unfortunately, the little lion cub I was working on back in 2011 was knocked off my desk and broken, and I haven't got around to trying again.

I'd call myself an "enthusiastic amateur" at sewing. I've made a few costumes in the past, know my way around a sewing machine, and am always looking for opportunities to improve my skills.

I'm in the process of learning how to spin wool into yarn. I have both a drop spindle and a spinning wheel, I just need a bit more practice.

I have a couple of small pin looms and have woven simple small rugs on them.

This one's a fairly new one. I got the opportunity to try whittling a butter knife at a local Maker's Festival and enjoyed it so much that I went back the next day and had another go. I'm hoping to get some better tools for this at some point so that I can do more experimentation with carving.

I also got an introduction to carving using sandpaper on softer hardwoods like linden and had a wonderful time with that.

This one's the product of necessity. It started when I bought an old caravan that I hadn't realised until I got it home was significantly water damaged and needed gutting and rebuilding. Since then I've needed to make a lot of my own custom craft storage, so I grabbed my tools and whatever wood I could find and put something together. My most recent woodworking project was custom drawers for my stamps and dies. I also built my own desk out of a couple of IKEA wardrobes and some timber.
