I can't remember why but myself and my daughter ended up on the internet the other day looking at various different hobbies and what their 'official' hobby name was, it proved to be quite amusing.
2 of my 3 paintings this week are named after the hobbies they do (in their crazy whimsy world's)
1st up is.......The Lepidopterist's Dream:
For those of you that don't know or don't want to look it up, a Lepidopterist is a butterfly and moth collector :o)
2nd of my hobby girl's is...... The Curious Entomologist:
This girl's favourite pastime is collecting bugs (my daughter re-named her 'the creepy bug lady')
And my 3rd painting this week has nothing to do with the hobby girl's as she was painted before that little internet expedition and is simply called:
From small beginnings (come great things)
I had lots of fun looking up random hobbies and have another 2 or 3 ideas for paintings from them.
These 3 girl's are now available for purchase in my etsy shop.
So tell me, do any of my blog followers have any fun hobbies with crazy long names?
I would love to know :o)

DeleteNot really a hobby, but when I was a Massage Therapist...we were also sometimes called Body Workers...I always cringe at that term!
ReplyDeleteI agree...the flowery girls are among my latest favorites of yours!
Pretty, pretty.
Thanks Cam, I'm glad people are liking the flowers, seeing as I don't seem to be able to stop painting them ;o)
DeleteBody workers brings up all sorts of weird imaginings, so just what kind of massages did you give then? lol ;o)

DeletePhilately would make a wonderful subject matter - lots of opportunity for collage.
ReplyDeleteIt's stamp collecting by the way - I was a geeky child collector!
This will make a stunning range - get them in a show!
OOh stamp collecting, I didn't know it was called that, an old chap across the road from me collects stamps, he always takes the ones off my parcels from overseas....interesting!! :o)
