Maybe more of "i wish i hadn't forgotten" how to play like a kid.
I wasted so many years taking my creative job (in fashion) so seriously i burned out. Now im an independent artist doing silversmithing and tattooing fulltime. I just learned the basics and the safety rules, and didnt bother to learn the traditional aesthetic rules . Im more relaxed and fulfilled, and people come to me for my style โก
Here's my self-tatted leg. I add to it when i want to practice or try something new

I took up stained glass as a hobby a few years ago.
You know those shows where people move off the grid and they have so much pride for the way they live, even though they have to shovel thru 6ft of rocks and dirt every time they want to take a shower?
The closest I have gotten to that feeling is making things with my hands. it started at knitting, then shrinky dink keychains, then cricuting tote bags and t shirts, then collaging, and most recently making stained glass.
I love having Bloody battled lil finger pads and holding something sharp and real up to the window that exists in space and time because I FORGED IT!
In reality, I am making silly little suncatchers for my friends that Aren't all rock and roll, but it makes me feel powerful and good.
Can recommend stained glass but also any hobby where you create something fun and cute for Sport

to be able to thrive in an unconventional and creative career path that affords me a comfortable life. ideally, i have autonomy over my daily tasks and work/life balance that allows me the energy to pursue outlets outside of work again. god i miss crafting. i miss painting my nails. i miss engaging in a childlike sense of wonder and curiosity.

I already do this when I can, but if I was truly analog, iโd be crafting. jack of all trades, master of none:
- crocheting
- painting(nails or canvas with acrylic)
- making jewelry
- printmaking
- quilting (big fan of improv quilting)
- drawing
- pottery/clay work
- bookbinding/scrapbooking/collaging

Nosferatu / sick makeup ๐ i like not-necessarily-pretty things and the urge to put on a random look and go run errands or whatever. Or sometimes put on makeup at home for no reason
