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!
