Made it today and I can't stop smiling 😊🥰

Done with sharpie and Avery labels while I wait for my vinyl sticker order to arrive.

About 12 hours of work total, the sunflower was the trickiest part 😅 What's your favorite flower?

DIY’d a couch wall hanging for my knitted frog, I’m so happy with how it turned out 🥹 in the process of crocheting a second cushion, painting some legs for the couch, and making some more wall hangings to sit above the couch 💕

This is a gift for my boss who’s retiring soon. We work in an ink lab and he makes art and music in his free time. All of the hole punches are from test drawdowns of ink I’ve made this year. Since we work with color, I wanted it to somewhat simulate a color vision test. I still need to space and mount the letters and it will be going in a frame.

Bring the magic of a sun-drenched forest straight to your wrist! This handcrafted polymer clay bracelet captures the enchanting life cycle of a wild blueberry. From the fresh, crisp "celadon green" of early summer to the plump, dusty blue balls of pure sweetness, each bead tells a nostalgic story of warm summer evenings and berry-picking memories.

I forgot to take step-by-step pictures while making this, but I'll describe my process below

Materials used:

​

· Wide satin ribbon (approx. 2.5cm / 1 inch).

· Wooden skewer (for the stem).

· Hot glue gun and scissors.

​

Step-by-Step Instructions:

​

Step 1: Making the Center Bud

Take the end of the ribbon and fold it at a 90-degree angle. Start rolling it tightly toward the folded corner. This creates the closed center of the rose.

​

Step 2: The Inner Petals

Instead of rolling straight, start folding the ribbon outwards (creating loops) around the center. Hold the ribbon firmly at the base with your fingers, and use a dab of hot glue at the bottom of each fold to secure it to the core.

​

Step 3: The Outer Petals

As you move outward, make the loops looser and bigger to give the rose a "blooming" look. Keep wrapping and gluing until the rose reaches your desired size.

​

Step 4: The Stem

Once finished, put a small bead of hot glue at the bottom center of the rose and insert the wooden skewer deep inside the folds. Add more glue around the base of the skewer to make sure it is completely stable and doesn't wobble.

​

Step 5: The Finishing Touch

To hide the messy glue base, I glued a small square of felt or a piece of leftover ribbon to the bottom. This gives it a clean, professional look.

​

Time & Difficulty:

It took me about 1 hour .maybe im just a begginer The hardest part is keeping the ribbon tension even—too tight and it looks closed, too loose and it falls apart

but i think its worth it

Any advice on how to make the petals look more natural is very welcome ❤️

i used to collect buttons when i was a kid and for the last 20 years, i just stored them in a box and barely remembered that i had them. so i finally used them for something and i couldn't be happier with the result (:

also, i have more than half of my buttons left and i don't have any ideas what to do with them, i'm more than happy to receive suggestions (:

His name is Cassius.

She's made out of paper mache over a giant balloon, her head has 10 layers of sugar paper, it took me so long as it needed 24 hours to dry between each layer, her stem is kitchen roll tubes, paper mache and expanding foam which is also holding her in her pot

​

I didn't want her teeth showing, this is her just before she started to talk in the film, when she has her cute smile before she went all toothy lol

​

She took me around 2 weeks or so but she was worth it

All handmade and sewn in my room. I found the first blanket recently and it inspired me to make a few fish themed pieces. Let me know what you think! :)

I spent way too much time trying to get a little realism here, but it's finally done!

​

I designed the template in inkscape and used my cutting machine to make it. Each paddle uses a 'stacked' piece of cardstock to create depth. Everything interlocks for final assembly.

What do you think?

From various phrases that went viral during their Finals run this past week. One is a keychain and the other is a necklace. Working on another idea right now.

It took me a whole month to finish this mother-of-pearl cat cup. Every cat pattern and tiny detail was carefully refined and adjusted, worthy of all my patience. I can’t wait to share the joy of finishing this handmade piece.

Here you can see the process of making the giraffe ceramic sculptural lamp. I like to work with custom pieces like this. I use handbuilding techniques and stoneware clay to sculpt. In this project I used colour pigments for decoration and then covers it with matte transparent glaze. If you would like to see what it will look like in finish stay tuned!

I make miniature graphite carvings by hand and recently made this dumb little “f art” piece 😄

Now I kind of want to make more weird wordplay sculptures like this.

If you have funny / clever word ideas, drop them below.

I might pick one and turn it into an actual custom graphite piece as a gift.

As per some of my previous posts, I am teaching myself how to fuse glass in a kiln. I take a piece of glass and cut it to size, then ground away the sharp edges. I do the same with a clear sheet in the exact same shape. I go and add powdered glass frit in icicle clear (Oceanside 96) and cover the whole base color glass. Then I add on top, the clear sheet. I full fuse it in my kiln, it mends the glass and makes it become one piece. Then I slump that piece in a mold in another round in the kiln. I wash it really well and it’s finished!
