Hobbies?
What are you guys' non-reptile hobbies? I make jewelry from chainmail and origami. :D
I've been spending the long weekend working on my folding and taking pictures out in the sun and its just great.
Here's some of the stuff from the past week or so:

Now quick, someone else show off!! :clap:

I'm slowly getting into chainmail as well but my abstract paintings are my main focus right now. Hopefully once I get a full time job again I'll get my next falconry bird :gj:
Until then paint paint paint! :D

Now THAT is some jealousy-inspiring stuff.
How do you even get started in falconry? It always seemed like a totally out-of-reach thing.

Took a long time, several years of wanting to, I think it was 8 years. Then I volunteered at a Bird of prey rehab and then began working with various species at Educational Shows around the area. Afterwards I met other falconers and the plan fell into place :)
I flew a redtail hawk for 2 years during my apprenticeship and when I upgraded to the next level I released my bird (she was trapped from the wild so releasing her back was okay) and then college sucked up my time and energy. Its been about 3 years birdless but I still go out hunting with others. Just working on getting my duckies back in a row so I can get another bird ;)

I'll Play (Have a few)
Guitar Playing (Heavy Metal and Classical Music)
While I'm not that good of a player, I really enjoy playing, and tweaking with my equipment. Pics:

My newest Guitar (7 string):

Coin Collecting (U.S. Coins and World Paper Currency)
Been collecting for more than 10 years, got some pretty interesting US coins (some over 150 years ago, Including Bills). And got Paper Money from countries that don't exist any longer :D
Ill only post 1 pic (which leads to my next hobby), don't want to be showing off my collection (also for security reasons :gj:):
http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...9_883305_n.jpg
Next,
Scouting (Boy Scouts of America)
I'm an Eagle Scout (November 2007), and actually an Assistant Scout Master.
What can I say? Been a part of this movement for more than 15 years :salute:.
I think it goes without saying that I love adventure, outdoors and wilderness.
A Picture of an awesome cave I once went in a camping:

Electronics
Well, as an Electrical Engineering student I MUST like this, right? :rolleyes:
My passion inside of the electronics realm: (guitar amps)
http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._8388606_n.jpg
Traveling
Well, who doesn't like traveling?
Thankfully I have had my share of travels (England, Alaska, Various Cruises, MANY states, and Mexico (Don't really remember any other places)).
Fun fact: I love traveling with my plush Penguin and take random pictures of him (got a whole Facebook album of this):

Sorry if I sound like a show-off :(

Re: Hobbies?
I'm an avid gamer and candy maker:D
I do hard candies during the warm months, but during the cool and cold..I pull out all the stops. last year for our company's xmas get together I presented with 11 types of fudge, 8 pastries, 4 brittles, and tons of other one-offs.
NO-ONE stuck to their diets:gj:
-
I have plants, and I'm in Boy Scouts, no joke, lol I am a girl. I collect rocks and I enjoy being weird :)
-
Re: Hobbies?
-
I play bass (electric - metal, blues; upright/double bass - jazz and classical, some weird stuff as well, just messing around) and I sing (metal, rock, a bit of blues).
Aside from that and animals I have pretty well no life haha :P

Marry Me....:D

My alter-ego is a roller derby referee.
We ended our season last night, and I am still recovering from the afterparty.
But after 12 months of hard work, lots of training, a few major injuries, and skating several nights a week I earned a good throwdown of humiliating proportions.
I have let a few of hobbies slide (origami, academic writing/research, and arts promotion) but they still give me residual pleasure and I don't consider them to be dead hobbies for me.

Re: Hobbies?
I have way to many hobbies. Kayak fishing, racing motorcycles, Xbox if i got a little free time, going to the firing range and cant forget the gym. Also might take on doing the FNG if they let me back in after my injuries are 100 :taz:

aside from snakes and reptiles, OBVIOUSLY, my hobbies are internetting (haha), playing with/tweaking my websites (squamishserpents.ca, katiagphoto.com), photography, a bit of graphic design, breeding my rats, just started up with fishing, hiking, drinking beer, reading. etc, haha.
i'm kind of boring.

Art has always been a huge passion (mainly airbrush work and graphite/ink flatwork); I've been drawing since I was a wee won, here's just a few older works (please don't use them without my permission! lol Like you'd want to anyways with my big name stamped across them):
http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i3...O/000_0216.jpg
http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i3...O/000_0209.jpg
I also love cars, I've done auto body repair and painting for about two years off and on (fixed a few cars up including my dad's Tundra's busted bumper), done some airbrush work on some pieces and motorcycle parts, and did the custom paint and racing stripes on my own Mustang. I like modding my stang also, but the list of mods I've done already are too long to list.
Also I'm big into my model horse hobby, I've been custom painting them for six years now. Here's my personal gallery webby: http://www.freewebs.com/elkhornstablesstudios/ I do commissions for people online and sometimes I get the occasional customer who wants me to do a portrait on one of their real horses (so they can have it in mini form) :)
One more....I love tattoos. I have 6 so far and definatly consider them a hobby! Another expensive one at that....lol
And of course, snake keeping :D

Thanks! Your paintings are amazing too :bow: I was never much of a painter with oils or acrylics on canvas or otherwise, so I bow to your talents!
The second is a portait of my horse who was given away when I moved away to college (to a nice family though with other horses he could play with) but that was finished totally in pen/ink. The first is graphite/mechanical pencil.

lol! You'll need to find someone else to love: I'm happily taken :)
I love black rims though, I have chrome Bremmas right now but after some "snake shopping" and finishing my sleeve I'm definatly going to be saving up for some staggared black Bullitts. I'd love for some 305s in the rear but will probably settle for 275s since mine is a daily driver.

Other than reptiles I keep fish, collect rocks/gems - especially polished ones...shinyyyy :love:, and I have a small collection of plants. Really random plants, like a palm tree I grew from a seed I took from a sidewalk on New Orleans and a mango tree, as well as several date palms.
-
Wow! You all have some awesome hobbies! Other then my snakes, I have 2 dogs and 2 cats to care for (my furry children). And a husband ;) lol
I'm a graphic designer by day so by the time I get home from work the last thing I feel like doing is working on my OWN website or freelance stuff...but every now and then I'll get the urge.
I like photography...
I like making candles and usually do so in the winter.
I watch TV...and movies!
I guess I'm kinda boring...lol
