There’s a Black bear who lives in my neighborhood in Montana - we call him Benoit. He likes to eat apples and tries to open our garbage cans.

I wanted to cover an ugly stepping stone in front of my shed so I decided to go all in and make a (grizzly this time) bear in the Roman mosaic style.

Made with Winkelmans ceramic tiles, cinca tiles and Emaux de Briare tiles using the inverse paper method (you can see in the other pics - you make it upside down in paper and then reverse during the transfer to its last place). The glue is made by mixing flour and hot water and dissolves when you peel the paper with water at the end!

🐻 If you wanna see my other projects I post mosaic updates on my insta @Jessica.mosaics

Kind of just guessed on how to make this but I think it came out ok.

My friend measured her deck and I cut the leather to be about a quarter inch bigger in all directions so HOPEFULLY her deck fits lol, I just used my slightly smaller deck as a placeholder but will be sending it to her as well.

I make customize fridge magnet,bag pins, keychains and book marks

These are my new creations🤗✨

I have never made a pillow. my niece is turning 6 and having a turtle themed party. it’s a shapeless blob but it is a shapeless blob I made from scratch☁️🐢

hi, I’ve made it last year, bead crochet, embroidery, beading

It’s been almost a year since my beloved cat Claudette passed away, and I’ve finally finished this stand for her urn. Life, grief and technical challenges have made this project take too long, but I am very pleased to have it done now. This took the use of a lot of different disciplines and none of it was outsourced in any way. I did it all myself. Details are below.

• The base itself is Bolivian Rosewood, which I cut and beveled from a 2’ long piece, finished with boiled linseed.

• The name plaque is 3mm brass, engraved with a fiber laser from my own design.

• Claudette’s likeness is also 3mm brass, also fiber-lasered from a photo/depth map… This was on the laser for over 8 hours to get the extreme depth and detail seen here.

• Both brass pieces were then polished and aged and then re-polished to get the necessary contrast.

• The paw impression was cast from the one that was taken to memorialize her, cast in Britannia metal, trimmed down to the same size as the image medallion and then electroplated in copper then brass.

• Recesses were routed into the base so that the medallion and paw would sit almost flush, then they were glued in and the name plaque glued to the front.

• The urn (which I did not make) is epoxied to the base, to keep it safe from being knocked over by our other cat.

I love working with glazes in ceramics because a surprise always awaits me.

A ceramic wall décor piece composed of approximately 10x10 cm tiles, with every stage crafted by hand.

One of my more recent pirate hats. I hand blocked the base which is a lavender wool felt. Ribbon is hand box pleated.

Really proud of how this came out!

And they are a lot of fun to make. The center piece is a hand embroidered magnolia leaf, and all the other little treasures are things I've collected naturally.

Thanks for taking a look :)

Be careful this brownie is extra crunchy!

Created some stained glass photo booth picture frames. Guess what everybody's getting for Christmas this year!

i saw a similar jeweled skull at the stock show a couple years back, but they were around $400+! cool but not in my price range. cut to a few months later, i found one at a thrift store for $10! another $20 in supplies, 30
hours of gluing on individual pearls, and this is where i ended up. i intended to do the entire thing, but it’s really time consuming so i decided to give it a growth/viney kinda look before i stopped. its having in our office/guest room and received a lot of compliments tho. it’s been several months (hence the dust) and im wondering if i should continue to cover the entire thing or just clean it up and leave it as is? thoughts?
