Making something with your hands can be extremely therapeutic. Whether it’s knitting, pottery, woodworking, or painting, it helps to release suppressed emotions and shift one’s focus from stressors and worries. Not to mention the sense of accomplishment and pride one feels when they have a finished project to show for it.  

If you’re in need of some inspiration for your next mental health break, look no further. Courtesy of the online community Something I Made, we present you with a list of the most amazing things people created with their own two hands. Scroll down to find them, and don’t forget to upvote the ones you can’t wait to try yourself next! 

While you’re at it, make sure to check out a conversation with Ukrainian artist Olga Vyshnyvetska, also known as Mr. Space Lobster, who kindly agreed to tell us all about her love of sculpting fantasy creatures. We also reached out to a maker of tufted rugs and the sole artist behind Gremlyn Rugs, Stephen, and Ian Finch-Field, maker of leather accessories, who kindly agreed to share more about their art as well.

Photos of their work can be found below, too!

    Olga tells Bored Panda that what led her to make things by hand was the search for a suitable medium to let out her creativity. “I loved nature and fantasy, and I tried a few artistic media before, but nothing clicked. 

    Then, during the winter holidays in late 2018, I had some free time and decided to buy a pack of clay and a multitool and give it a try. I couldn’t stop after that. Sculpting just worked for me. I was finally able to work on my own designs and had so much fun in the process,” she shares.

    Currently, you can find her immersed in creating a series of sculptures called Grimwood Edge. “Each sculpture has its own story, inviting observers to explore this imaginary world and expand on it with their own imagination,” Olga writes on her website.

    “Through my work, I aim to reveal the twilight nature of these mystical creatures, balancing sentimental admiration for nature with the phantasms hidden behind the familiar inhabitants of our ordinary world.”

    When Olga creates, she usually goes with the flow. “My projects usually start with a simple idea: "Oh, that would be cool to make." I love starting without much expectation and seeing where the process leads. 

    Sometimes, I make a rough sketch to calculate dimensions, but I mostly rely on experimenting and improvising. I like to tell a story through my sculpture, letting it emerge naturally, step by step. This approach can lead to difficulties, but it results in a solid story that evolves rather than being forced.”

    Maker of tufted rugs and the sole artist behind Gremlyn Rugs, Stephen, tells us that he always was drawn to the process of creation, and making things by hand just feels incredibly fulfilling. "It’s the satisfaction of crafting something unique and the joy of working with my own two hands. Plus, there’s something amazing about the act of creating something beautiful out of nothing."

    Similarly to Olga, the inspiration for creation usually strikes him from anywhere—nature, art, or even a random thought. "I begin by sketching or jotting down concepts to flesh out the idea. Then I move on to gathering materials and planning the execution," he explains.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "The next step is all about trial and error, adjusting as needed, and refining the details. Once I’m happy with how it looks, I move on to the final step, paying close attention to craftsmanship and quality."

    One big challenge that Stephen faces when making his art is managing his time effectively. "The creative process can be unpredictable, and balancing it with other responsibilities sometimes means projects take longer than anticipated.

    Additionally, sourcing the right materials can be tricky. Sometimes you have to adapt on the fly if something isn’t available or doesn’t work as planned. Navigating these obstacles requires patience and flexibility, but they also contribute to the growth and learning that come with each project."

    One of his favorite projects up to date is a snail pull-apart rug he created two years ago. "It begins as a snail rug with an intricate shell, dripping details, and lovely shades of blue, pink, and purple. When you pull it apart, it really brings those colors to life, revealing a dynamic and visually captivating design. I love how it combines functionality with interactive visual elements."

    Some advice Stephen gives to aspiring handcraft artists is to embrace the learning process and not be afraid to make mistakes. "Begin with simple projects to build your skills and gain confidence. Experiment with different materials and techniques to discover what you enjoy most.

    Remember, the journey is just as important as the end result, so stay curious and keep exploring. Most importantly, have fun and let your creativity guide you. Every mistake is just a step toward mastering your craft!"

    "Huichol art broadly groups the most traditional and most recent innovations in the folk art and handcrafts produced by the Huichol people, who live in the states of Jalisco, Durango, Zacatecas and Nayarit in Mexico. The unifying factor of the work is the colorful decoration using symbols and designs which date back centuries." - The Wikipedia article

    Ian Finch-Field, maker of leather accessories, costumes, and props and the owner of Skinz-N-Hydez Leather Apparel, tells us that he’s been a maker ever since he can remember. “I come from a family of artists. Mainly painters, but I have been blessed with many inspirational artists and builders in my family. They taught me that my only limitation is my own mind. To expand beyond that and think outside yourself and those imaginary limits.”

    He finds it hard to describe his creation process, as inspiration for it comes in a dream-like state. “I rarely sketch anything out on paper or have a clear finished product in mind. I piece it together in my mind as I go," he says.

    For him, the most challenging part of being an artist is being restricted by the need to make money. ”It feels like my creativity has been limited due to having to produce and re-create product; to be able to survive as an artist. I have machinery to help out, and it does, but it's also limiting. It puts me in a box of limitations rather than me being able to create freely. I miss letting my creativity take over and not worry about the end result of having to make money from it - to survive.”

    His few favorite projects include steampunk gear for Justin Bieber, The Big Bang Theory, Dispatches from Elsewhere, and the band Ghost. “I've also really enjoyed making masks for WWE wrestlers, DJs, musicians, plays, and operas. My most memorable projects I've made were for short films; specifically for Andrew W. Jones and the short films: Doctor Glamour (2012) and Buccaneer Galaxy (2014). Andrew challenged the limits of my creativity. He really helped start my career and further my love to create.”

    His advice for anyone who wishes to start creating is to experiment, learn, and be inspired by others. “Think outside the box. Think outside the limitations you and others set for you. Create just to create—who cares if it sucks. Next time, it won't suck as bad. Learn from those mistakes and grow to be a better artist/maker.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Being able to create has helped me get through a lot. I don't know where I would be if I wasn't able to create and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels the same way.”

    Nice work! Keep going! I once made a purse out of a bottom leg part of a pair of jeans I had to cut off due to knee holes. So I put in a liner using $1.00 remnants, tied some glass beads on a piece of leather and sewed in a zipper. Lots of discussion when people saw it. I think you have an eye for this art. Creativity comes from everywhere.

    Wow, I recognize more of these than I expected. There's Totoro (big boy in the flowers) and Kiki (witch in the wooden wreath) and Gigi (black cat) from their respective Ghibli movies. There's Kirara (the fox-like creature with the red eyes) from the anime "Inuyasha". There's the unicorn and the cat and skull from the movie "The Last Unicorn". There's the little blue worm thing from the movie "Labyrinth". And the wolf-like creature on the bottom right is an Alpha Grimm from the show "RWBY". The rest look vaguely familiar, but I don't quite recognize them. Does anyone else know? This artist is very well cultured.

    Hallway / living room wall decoration. You know those tall narrow walls that are good for nothing but art? This would be perfect... Or to use it to separate the space. But I think this piece would look best and reveal it's beauty when placed vertically, not horizontally. Lighting would just bring out the textures. ... Dang. I think I just love it!;)
