Thanks to Megan at A Geeky Gal and this list of prompts, I’m participating in her 30 Day GEEK OUT!
Today I’m sharing three of my geeky hobbies.
1). Reading
Part of my Jasper Fforde collection.
Did you know I used to work in libraries? Well, as a child reading has always been my favorite activity. I was a recluse and didn’t care for socializing (and I don’t say that in a cool way, cause it wasn’t). I would always have a book with me.
2). Doodling/Drawing
doodles of Snake from Animal Crossing, Pizza Party Dude, Umbra my fey rogue sorcerer, and White Diamond
Like reading it’s been hard at times to get back into it. I do enjoy just doodling as I find it to be fun, and soothing. But the part that isn’t is the want of perfectionism, and, when something doesn’t turn out how I saw it in my mind’s eye. Also, I can’t draw softly (soft lines, curves, pressing pens/pencils lightly, etc) so i get really frustrated by my hard lines. I just have to figure out how to harness it I guess.
3). Crocheting
Jayne Cobb hat I crocheted for myself
I’m most proud of this last one as I’m always worried about perfectionism. Crocheting sometimes feels a little more forgiving than drawing (which is not actually true), but, maybe its that mentality that helps me enjoy it. My Cobb hat is one of the things I’m most proud of.
But, the CMYK blanket I’mc making for a friend might take it’s place! I think it’s coming along nicely! Cyan is finished, and Magenta is almost there!
