@MakersHour@cupoftea.social @makershour@a.gup.pe Anodised aluminium. It's soft and easy to work, and it comes in so many colours!
(It's not actually a 21st century invention, but chainmaille is an ancient art that doesn't use anything new or advanced)
Q4: Is there a material or substance that other folks might easily use in their creative projects that you feel you will not want to include in your own, and why?
A4: The thing that is coming to mind here is Worbla. It's a thermoplastic material that was extremely popular in the cosplay world starting about 10 years ago, but I never got into it. I think the problems that it solves can be addressed in a myriad of other ways, and its expense has prevented me from getting some just to play around with. I've seen plenty of cool things done with it, but to me it seems like an expensive hassle.

A2: definitely a hobby. On the one hand I would love to be able to make a living from seeing stuff, but I think it would really stress me out since I'm not at all perfectionist enough to be comfortable making things for others, let alone for money. Also, I think turning my hobby into a job or sidegig might take the joy out of it.
