What does your craft space look like?
Which tool or craft supply do you use the most?
The tool/supply i probably use the most is my cardboard measuring thing. I have a small apartment, so i work on the floor. It gives me a smooth surface, and measurements to work with. best 10$.
What do you craft along to?
I'm a huge nerd, and musician. My project movie is Lord of the Rings extended edition. I put it in and just work. I quote along with the movie, and sing the melodies of the music. I never realize how much time has gone by, until i'm almost done with the 2nd movie. I just marathon all 3, and pull an all nighter.
Jess's Most Popular Projects
Favorite Craft
I enjoy sewing the most out of any craft, although i am a self taught knitter. I love making skirts and dresses. The sense of accomplishment from spending 10+ hours and seeing it come together is staggering. I've recently gotten into making steampunk Hot air balloons from old band music.
Jess's Top Crafts
If you could learn one new craft or make anything, what would it be?
To learn a new skill would be great. I'm really handy at fixing things, and working with wood. But a medium i have yet to use is Leather!
