Here I want to show you my hobbi. Not recent hobbi. Hobbi, which is not connected with travels and Maps. And to tell you a truth I doubted if this hobby should be mentioned here at all. I have different hobby to write here, and I’ll try to write about it these days.
But then I thought that any hobby can be interesting when people are closed inside their homes, and maybe somebody will get an idea as I had got it earlier.
In this photo you can see the petals and the core of which the previous chrysanthemum flower consists:
Here one part-flower of hyacinth. It occured to be too big, if I gatheres the whole flower, it would be huge, and I left it alone:
What is your hobby besides being a Local Guide? Share your story with us, we would love to know it.

I don’t know you can do bead making really well.
That is really wonderful. My kid sister does it very well. She even sell it to some of her customers based on contract. I too make some when I am a little bit free. When I mean some, simple ones.

Let me tag some females who may be making beads @UchechukwuEnem @Lily_Asongfac @Zino @Izumi @Nyainurjanah @Ant_Bad_Yogi @Stella2 @Ale_003
Here is a picture of my mum’s old beads, hope you’ll like it.
@OlgaKlimchik you’re truly an expert in bead marking, My kid sister and I are still learners.

@OlgaKlimchik My goodness, you have done all that? Wow, you are sooooo good on making the bead flowers. They look so beautiful. I used to make a bracelet when I was in high school (centuries ago, hahaha).
Yes, any hobby would do to join #monthlytopic of this month.
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful hobby with us.

@OlgaKlimchik I try to be versatile. You can never tell. I put passion in all the things people around me do provided I have nothing to lose.
@Ant_Bad_Yogi did I read centuries ago
… I know you must be kidding.

If you can find some pictures of your old century beads please do share with us here on connect.
I know @NkemNwobu @OkekeNkiruka @Ritamega could be making beads.

@OlgaKlimchik No, I don’t mind at all. My concern is that if you copy and paste, Hiroyuki won’t get any notification. That’s why I tagged him to let him know about your post.

@Austinelewex Actually I don’t have any photo of that bracelet. Maybe we wait for others, they might have some to share with us.

@OlgaKlimchik oh wow!! Your hands are creatively gifted. These bead roses are beautiful and unique. I love the colour combination as well.
@Austinelewex I tried learning how to bead but didn’t have the patience and passion for it so i let it be. My nieces are learning how to bead and can make simple bracelet for now. Here is a picture of the beads they made for me.
However my hobby is making simple footwear with an infusion of Ankara fabric. @OlgaKlimchik Here is what the footwear looks like;
Brickenstock Ankara slides.
I call it ‘Dimples n Footies’ because i have really cute dimples
. I haven’t made any footwear during this lockdown because i do not have some of the equipments I usually go to the market to use the equipments there so I’ll continue after the lockdown.

@NkemNwobu Do you make men’s footwear too.

How about that?

@NkemNwobu Great bracelets! Hope it’s only beginning. Girls can make great things in future. Beads allows making real treasure.
Your footwear is excellent. It’s very useful, beautiful and I’m sure convenient (fabric footwear is the most convenient).

@Austinelewex Yes i make for both men and women. The Brickenstock slides are unisex but if you do not want the Ankara fabric I can simply use leather for it. Also there are so many designs that can be made not just the Brickenstock slides. Making one for you shouldn’t be a problem
just let me know your foot size.

@OlgaKlimchik , your flowers are beautiful. I especially liked the strawberries - they are so cute and delicate.
I used to make some flowers, too. Let me share some pictures.
I also made some simple earrings for my friends
I also enjoy stain glass painting and upcycling (making various things of used materials).
