Hailo! Not sure why I didn't think to come on here before... I don't have a lot of props myself, but I've a chipped cup from Once Upon A Time that I purchased for my own Belle last Christmas (I RP @AnotherMrGold on Twitter, and my Belle and I have since married in RP, moved in together in RL, and are planning a RL #Rumbelle wedding as well...) but I also knit and crochet for my Etsy shop (ladyslupe13.etsy.com) and presently have a Watson "Too English" Scarf from Sherlock Homles: A Game of Shadows and Harry Potter house scarves on my Etsy, and also have a Henry Mills scarf from Once Upon a Time and custom Minion plushies from Despicable Me in the works for being posted on there as well. I also make Jayne hats from Firefly (but they won't let me post it any moooooooores! Which makes me sad, because Jayne hats and Ravenclaw scarves are my two best sellers) and I've a fifth Tom Baker (Season 14, I think) scarf in the works. I don't even post those, they usually get paid for and claimed before I finish them, hehehe.
Let's see... I've dabbled a little in homemade snow globes (which are actually rather difficult to make, I'll have you know) and a bit of haberdashery. The hats are actually one of my favourite crafts, but the buckram canvas and milliner's wire are rather pricey craft supplies, so I usually only make those on request, so I don't have a lot of experience with them. I've also done some hand sewing plushes, and one of my other works-in-progress is a Westerosi Mother's Prayer Wreath from Game of Thrones. I'm making each doll by hand out of knit, so it's incredibly tedious. Not exactly screen accurate, but I'd like to think that a mother could make one from string if that was her better medium. Yes, no?
I've also had some Candy Crush coasters buzzing around in my head, but I'd like to not buy myself more plastic canvas. It always ends up just sitting in my closet... And I've gotten rid of my beads, and I'd like to KEEP it that way. I also had a rather failed line of amigurumi My Little Pony dolls, because I couldn't quite figure out a good way to make horns and wings and cutie marks to scale that didn't look terrible. Because I'm a perfectionist. And I have a thing about crafting my creations in one piece, when possible. I make my dolls from the feet up, I don't like sewing things together when I could craft it as a whole given enough forethought, and most of my patterns are made from scratch, so anyone who accuses me of stealing patterns is going to get a grumpy crocodile. Obviously, some aren't -- I use the S14 Doctor Who scarf pattern from DoctorWhoScarf.com, for instance, but the Henry Mills & Watson scarves are eyeballed (and I make my Watson scarf at 8+ feet long, because Jude Law is a tall bugger!) and the Harry Potter scarves are a pretty basic 30-4-4-4-30 stripe pattern. But I use the OLD colour schemes, from when she FIRST put out the little badges back in book 2, because I'm a very, very, VERY old scarhead and cling stubbornly to the original colour schemes. Also, I just think lemon-scarlet and goldenrod-royal blue just pop nicer. And all of the Ravenclaws who buy that scarf tell me they like it better too, so... Yeah. I tend to go for what I consider most handsome. I try to stay close, but... Like, my Who scarf? I don't use that weird orange-red colour, I actually have a scarlet. I do it in scarlet, coffee, bluff tan, golden rod, forest green, orchid purple, and a heather grey. It's not screen accurate, but it's definitely recognisable, but I can always be more accurate if you like. Damned thing comes out at 16 feet long (BEFORE a foot of fringe on either side) and I had one customer tell me it was more a blanket than scarf! And my Jayne hats are a goldenrod, carrot, scarlet, and I give people the option of wanting the inside out ear muffs or not (because some people don't!), and I like to do a 3-strand plaint for the "danglies". And I don't always stress the pompom into a fuzzy ball, although I have the tools for it.
So I'm crafty. I've gotten to the point where my hands get twitchy if I'm not doing something. And generally, I'm either typing (I roleplay, as I said, or else I'm working on one of my original works, of which I have too many and none published) or doing something with yarn. I have three feet of Doctor Who scarf in my lap at present, hehehe. And TweetDeck. Yes, I'm a bit addicted to Twitter. I have no one to blame but myself.
