I was a pretty good cook, too. I'm in an alp so I get meals. Though one of these months... we have a modest kitchen in the recommended where residents can book time to cook.

I started that type of jewelry making in my thirties- sort of out the blue when stringing semi precious jewelry beads wirh some glass beads got too expensive for what I wanted to do. I still have one of my earliest "charts - showing what I did in the different gauges of brass wire back then.
Used to use sterling silver but too expensive. Use plated silver, now. Also I like brass; the high color goldish looking.

Also photography.

Almost forgot! Abstract, usually assemblage styled sculptures on the 1980's! Involving architectural miniature wood rods "frames and string. Then later branches as frames, colored yarns, small sanded wooden pieces tied into the yarn.
Really good works!

Though I did two really cool ones in the last semester in Scilpture class; involving bended hard plastic tubing with colored water inside on white plastic bases.
My teacher who'd been.an innovator in plastics and sculpture pronounced them beyond "student level" pieces.
I was very pleased!
