General Discussion

pretty self explanatory, let me hear your niche hobbies! [emoji=sandsurge tongue size=1] it can be the most random thing ever, in fact, the more unconventional, the better for example, I've been collecting pebbles and feathers for the past 4 years, the reason why these things are related is because I will try to match up pebbles with a similar colour scheme to those feathers lets hear yours!

That's quite nice, and sounds very satisfying to do. I used to collect little rocks as well, and was very possessive of them. Your display of matching pebbles and feathers must look lovely. Do you have a specific favorite of rocks or feathers to collect?

For me, it's not a universal niche, but recently I've been enjoying studying and playing with electronics in my free time, as well as attending school for it. I finished a course in radio a little bit ago as well. Very cool stuff. My favorite thing I've made is a nightlight.

hmm do i have any niche hobbies .. i guess my most unusual one would be making art and sculptures and such out of wire ... i recently made a little raven sculpture as a birthday gift for a friend for example :-) ive also been experimenting with making little automata toys and such ... also out of wire

I was doing stained glass until last year, but had to move countries and couldn't move all my gear unfortunately. Hopefully I can get into again in the future.

I collect feathers from wild birds, anything that I'm legally aloud to take, I bring home with me [emoji=sandsurge tongue size=1] my family and I go out a lot, nature parks, campsites, forests, etc, I've found many! I'd say my favorites were the owl feathers I collected, one of them is brown and striped with white, and I have a rock that is yellowish-brown with a cream-white stripe around it! I wish I had photos on my computer [emoji=sandsurge tongue size=1] and making a night-light sounds awesome, studying electronics sounds like a fun niche!

I've been getting really into Neocities lately, but my site isn't really at a state to show off yet lol coding always scratches the brain just right. I used to make games, mostly with Bitsy, and I've been meaning to get back into that too.

Does selfshipping count? I've started to specifically collect things related to or that remind me of Roark from Pokemon, as well as getting into collecting interesting rocks and things he would like.

I also collect specifically '90s Beanie Babies.

I collect fanmade merch (I have some plushies I've commissioned while some are secondhand from overseas) and whatever I can find that reminds me of Argalia from Library of Ruina :) I'd say it counts if you work it into a hobby by engaging with the selfship like starting a collection or making art!

I make homemade butters. Different flavors, got a butter churn during covid.
