Hi! Thank you! What are some of yours?
Wow! Stained glass! I can't cook good for the life of me. Lol Helping others is such an amazing blessing!
Hi and thank you for the welcome!
Hello. I also like collecting seashells (and fossils and rocks). I have also been diagnosed later in life (43) and have so much to learn. See ya around!
Hello ! I started a few years ago . I only go to beach once a year. I live about 3 hrs from the beach I go to .
Cool interests! Metal stamping is when I take aluminum circles or dog tags and turn them into keychains or necklaces. I made the one in the picture. So....the moon, stars, rocket ship, robot etc are each individually placed and hit into the aluminum. Each item it's a somewhat thick solid metal peg and at the tip is the stamp of the item (say the rocketship) I place the picture side firmly against the aluminum where I want to stamp it. Then I take my 2 1/2 pound metal mallet and hit the top of the peg. This sets the imprint of the picture into the aluminum. After I've finished stamping everything on there, I color it in permanent marker. Then buffer the excess ink off and it's finished.
Hi!!!! I just found my first seashell fossils a month ago!! How are you doing/adjusting etc to your late diagnosis if it's okay to ask? If it's to personal I completely understand.
Thanks for asking. I'm still on the shy side of it and trying to take in more info than I put out while still trying not to avoid interaction completely. I've been reading around the forums nonstop and finding some answers to my questions. I relate to so many things I'm reading and have to stop myself from trying to respond to everything I see. I get into very deep thought rabbit holes when I'm preparing to share a response (written or verbal) to anything in every situation. Blah blah anyway, too much.
