Quirky hobbies help Madisonians through quarantine | Local News | madison.com

Laurie Rossbach, an artist at the Madison Children's Museum, has launched many new art projects during the COVID-19 pandemic, including adding more artworks around her house and courtyard.

Laurie Rossbach steps up her front door, adding another element to what the neighbor calls the "House of Art."

Gone are the days of "no time" to pick up new hobbies.

The pandemic has given us the gift of time, so that they can not only spend time, but also get rid of the turbulent reality.

These hobbies come in many forms, and some have many quirks. From woodworking to learning, to DJ vinyl records, to long virtual walks in the city 5,500 miles away, all can be comfortable and fascinating, despite the endless uncertainty of the epidemic.

The gift from my friend's grandmother's basement taught me how to sew. Sitting on a brand new sewing machine from 1941, using a pedal to sew masks, handbags and other clothes together, you can be quiet for minutes or hours.

Not to mention trying to figure out the chart by sewing patterns.

Many amateurs in Madison are cherishing some new activities during the COVID-19 isolation period, and they appreciate it.

Graphic designer Daniel Goscha found stability through a recognized and distinctive hobby. Inspired by the documentary Kedi, about stray cats in Istanbul, Goscha turned to virtual roaming the city streets and took screenshots of the cats he saw.

He posts posts on his Instagram @streetcats_istanbul every day.

Goscha said: "In the winter when everything else is bad, maintaining this predictable routine is a good part of keeping my sanity."

Graphic designer Daniel Goscha used Google Street View to travel through Istanbul and posted pictures of the cats he found to his Instagram account.

Gesha said he has more than 250 followers, many of whom are from Istanbul. He said that he made some new friends, and although he has never visited in person, he has "fallen in love" with the city.

Goscha said: "I just established such an amazing connection through Instagram and Facebook with people in Istanbul who knew about the project." "I have established good relationships with people I have never met or met."

, If we get enough answers, we will post it in the upcoming Sunday Best.

The hobby caused Stacy Harbaugh, who is engaged in advertising, and Duane McElvain, an information technology manager, to temporarily leave the computer and screen.

He said that for many years, McElvin had been thinking about becoming a handyman by learning woodworking. Time, space, and money prevented him from starting serious work, but the "boringness" of isolation made him start looking for ways to learn more about woodworking.

About a month after Governor Tony Evers placed an order at his home in March, McElvain signed a membership to the Bodery Maker Space, which provides public space and tools, and even includes experience Some suggestions from rich woodworking.

"I am an IT person, so I don't often build things or use tools. I'm clicking the mouse and running the cable," McElvin said. "For me, this is a fun way to increase my tactile hobby."

Harbaugh's hobby of DJ polka music seems to be mainly related to the auditory factor of listening to music, but for her, picking up records from her collection and putting them on the turntable will also bring more tactile benefits.

Stacy Harbaugh traveled to Champaign, Illinois, picked up her two turntables, and used them to learn DJ polka music by herself.

"It's a very hands-on experience," Huber said. "This is a great way to stay away from the screen and enjoy music deeply."

Laurie Rossbach, an artist at the Madison Children's Museum, reduced his working hours to part-time hours because the museum had to be reorganized when it closed during the pandemic. She found some ways to control her anxiety and take advantage of the spring and summer weather.

Rothbach said: "After the museum closed, I was a little crazy." "The weather is really beautiful, I took advantage of this. I did a large-scale beautification project in the backyard and built a terrace."

Rossbach added more artworks to what her neighbors in the East Side call "art galleries." There are other concrete sculptures in the courtyard, and the porch is decorated with new mosaic details.

Few people can say that they had an easy year. For those who can follow public health guidelines, most social interactions are reduced to outside teleconferences (at least in warm weather), or to reduce personal video calls.

UW Health psychologist Shilagh Mirgain said these changes in social interaction have a real impact on our mental health.

Mirgain said: "When we cannot be together for a long time, it affects our emotions, motivation and perceptions, and makes it easier for us to develop bad health habits."

Mirgain said that some people can and should try their best to maintain social relationships, albeit far away, to eliminate some of the loneliness that may infiltrate. A meaningful conversation via phone or video call is as important as a face-to-face meeting.

People can also use other methods to improve mood.

Mirgain said: "When you are at home alone, we will lose this interaction, and when we are bound by more families for months, the cumulative impact will be huge." "However, during this time, We can achieve the same effect by engaging in a hobby and using our creativity or learning some new knowledge."

Heather Tubwon is a freelance illustrator and designer, as well as a hobby weaver. She got acquainted with a new hobby idea from her friends. She often met and got acquainted with each other. The group now meets regularly via video calls, and some of them mentioned trying to make yarn dye from black walnuts from the trees in her yard.

Tubwon accepted this idea and put it into practice, and now uses natural materials such as avocado skin and black beans to dye wool yarn.

Tubwon said: "It's really interesting to see what I can use to produce dyes. It can reuse what I should have used." "Like black beans-you can eat black beans later."

Heather Tubwon started dyeing her yarn into a hobby during the quarantine period. She also embroiders.

Tubwon said that trying to use new dyes can also "escape." She said that there is nothing to keep her busy and she can easily become depressed.

Mirgain said that during this time, hobbies can provide additional help for maintaining mental health.

Mirgain said: "When we are learning new things, we feel more lively, more motivated, and more purposeful." "This frees us from daily work and grows as we face the challenge of learning new things, and We feel a special sense of accomplishment that can arouse our emotions."

Emotional benefits can grow from small to large.

For McElvain, he is happy with his new function (making useful items for others).

McElvain said: "The biggest benefit I get from this is that I can mix my day together, learn new skills, and be able to practice these skills while providing value to my family, friends and family."

McElvain also uses his new skills to help his dog Lucy, who is old and has difficulty jumping up and down from the sofa or bed. Now, Lucy has a short flight of stairs to help her up and down through her hobby.

Laurie Rossbach, who created new concrete and mosaic sculptures during the quarantine, said: “It really saved me from despair.”

For Rothbach, being busy in creative ways can help her avoid the deterioration of depression and anxiety.

"I think it really saved me from despair," Rothbach said of creating more artworks. "I think that injecting all my anxieties and fears into it, and then turning them into art, definitely makes me have a completely different attitude and view on everything."
