I always love this topic! It's so much fun to see what other creative work everyone is doing or trying anew. For me it's mixed media collage, art cards, soldered charms, and cloth and paper mache dolls. I also dabble in interior design and gardening. A little inside, outside, and upside down!

I am currently driving myself crazy with attempting to create my own realistic eyes for bears & dolls. AARGH! Nothing wrong with the awesome premium eyes I use currently; I just wanted to do the impossible, apparently, and try something new. Clay, resin, hand-sculpted, molded -- you name it, I've tried it. And yes, I've read every last tutorial on the internet. Seriously. Short of buying someone's proprietary methodology and about a gajillion dollars of equipment, I'm kinda stuck. That's my creative "other craft" du jour. This past month or so.
I also dabble in artist trading cards on a regular basis. Right now, in addition to regular themed swaps -- I'm in a Marie Antoinette chunky book swap and a coffee/tea themed ATC swap right now -- I'm part of a Tarot Deck project (deadline for artwork looming! Eek!) with my main trading site, IllustratedATCs.com. I'm also helming a collaborative journal project for that same site on the theme of COLORS which will publish some time this summer. The submissions for that, so far, are fantastic.
Last, I'm known to fiddle with my website and blog design from time to time. In fact, as I re-imagine a new kind of POTBELLY BEAR, I'm also re-inventing my website and blog, in my head. Coming soon, if I don't tear my hair out first!!
Lexsomnia BearsShelli- Now THAT is funny! I am working on creating a new eye for my bears too. I STINK at working with clay but I am trying. 
Posts: 51Wilma- Think you can teach me to knit socks???
I wish I could teach you the heels... but I'm afraid my english is not good enough to describe in words how to do them, so you'll have to come over to Holland and I will show... :dance:
