Do you have an UNUSUAL and expensive hobby others get into as well?
Jay Z asked:
and i’m not talking about model trains and airplanes, stamp collecting and such, nothing too common, yet is recognizable and is a hobby for many.

Don’t know how unusual some would consider my hobby – I make quilts. Anything from very traditional quilts, Hawaiian quilts to art quilts. I can hand or machine piece and quilt. Quilting can get quite spendy when you only buy quilt shop quality fabric @ $10+ a yard and of course there are always new tools and gadgets coming out to make the job easier or fun.
Quilting isn’t only for women either. Some award winning quilters of stunning quilts are men.

I’m into polymer clay. You can make anything with it and imitate almost any material. If you want an idea about unusual there is a really cool polymer clay artist, Jay King. He has a blogspot, hiddenmissives.blogspot.com.
Search “Hidden Missives” and look at the cool unusual figures he makes. It’s unreal. (I don’t know him personally and don’t market any of his stuff I’m just a fan).
The clay is good for figures, jewelry (for guys maybe mini skulls etc.) and so much more. I’m sure Jay has some good links.
Enjoy the search and I hope you find something that appeals.

I have been a revolutionary war reenactor for nearly 35 years. It can be quiet expensive considering the equipment, clothing and weapons you need to buy. I will also say that I have had the time of my life with this hobby. I have been all over the US and Western Europe with it. I have been involved in several major movies and TV productions because of it. The best part is that I have made friends that I will have for life because of this hobby. If you don’t care for the American Revolution, you can do Civil War, 1812, WW1, WW2, French and Indian, 17th Century and even knights in armour. Its all out there, you just have to find your place in history.
