Hiatus is Over!

After a very long hiatus (lots of movement and changes in real life) I am back informally to my crafting hobby again and feeling great about it.

 

I have re-arranged a lot of materials and thrown away more sadly - since clay do dry up into unusable chunks after a whole year. But nevertheless I do have some new starting packs to work with.

Here is a sneak peek at the newly arranged craft drawers!

 

The First Step to Doing Anything...

...is to prepare loads.

Going into a new hobby takes time and thought. Two months was what I needed to decide to do away with all the old anime and manga collections, to decide fanart drawing wasn't really for me, though the years with W.S. were a grand experience, and to venture into what I really, truly loved best.

Going into miniature-making and miniature collection is a big investment, in terms of time, effort taken to learn, and expenditure. I pored over websites from all around the world, lurked around the local scene to learn of the people who share this common interest and took note of the tools I would need for my work.

Perhaps I was also inspired by the film, Julie and Julia, and the motivation to actually do something with an interest and see it bloom. Hopefully I can too maintain this as much as a stretch of five years at best. It is great that I have a fellow friend who share in this craziness of collecting Re-Ment and like products with me so you don't feel so much alone.

So a toast to a new hobby, a new start and burning pockets!
