You Do Have an Odd Hobby!" when they hear what your hobby is? Here are some which might interest you.

1.Tree Shaping

Are you a nature lover? Here is a hobby for you. It is the art of creating different shapes and structures by making the trees grow in that shape. It was created, developed and perfected by Peter Cook and Becky Northey inSouth East Queensland, Australia. One can create a range of structures and even useful objects(a living chair anyone?) by using the tree. No trees are harmed in this hobby.

4.Newsraiding

You see that man is black t-shirt behind the anchor? He has been in at least 20 different British news broadcasts. He is the only known person to have news raiding as a successful hobby.

5.Hikaru Dorodango

Ready to get your hands dirty? See the balls in the picture above? Those are balls of mud.

Hikaru Dorodango is also known as mud rolling. It sounds a little strange, I agree. Believe it because it is real. You take a ball of mud, draw the moisture out of it while coating it with finer and finer layers of soil after which you start to work the dirt by polishing it by hand into a sphere. Voila! You have attained a polished ball of mud!

6.Competitive Dog Grooming

Here is one for the dog lovers out there. You might have seen many pictures of dogs styled with an array of colours. These are part of competitive dog grooming. The dogs can be styled with the shapes of animals or even your favourite cartoons!
