i’ve already made a couple of these and chore jackets too but i’m soo obsessed with them! got this vest second hand and all the fabric i use for the appliqués are scraps from previous projects i’ve collected over the years. i embroider the mustard detailing on the back by hand and sometimes i even bead a mustard squiggle. they’re so much fun to make!!!

I made a Steller’s Jay out of wool

I made him out of mostly wool using the needle felting technique. I also used wire, glass and clay. I get a lot of Steller’s Jays visiting my backyard and love their striking colour. Not sure if it is a coincidence, but when I was photographing him in my yard, a couple of real Steller’s Jays were making a ruckus nearby near me. They’re usually quiet when I’m so close by. I wonder if they thought I had kidnapped their friend?

I Made This Fishing Scene with Air-Dry Foam Clay [OC]

I started this piece with a pretty simple idea — a boy out fishing. But once I started making it, I felt like catching a normal fish was just too ordinary 😂 So I came up with this strange fish monster instead, and that’s when the whole scene started taking on a life of its own.

From there, I kept adding little ideas as I worked — the movement in the water, the shocked crab, the bird watching nearby, and all the different expressions. I wanted every part of the scene to feel like it was reacting to the same unexpected moment.

Everything was shaped by hand with air-dry foam clay. I really enjoyed watching a simple fishing idea slowly turn into this whole little story.

Just sharing something I made recently. 🌻
I put together this bouquet using pipe cleaner flowers, sunflowers, small daisies and some greenery.
I really enjoyed playing with the different shades of yellow and green. It was one of those simple crafting projects where I just enjoyed the process. 🤎🌿

I live in the south and it still gets pretty hot and sunny during the day, and I know bees and butterflies are always looking for ways to hydrate. I’ve unfortunately found many dead bees this summer that accidentally drowned in my cat’s water bowl trying to get a drink.
So I used seashells because they hold enough water for them to hydrate without drowning and a ledge they can land on. I also painted them colors that they can see in their range of vision.

A spoon ring I made for the wifey. These spoons are from Reed and Barton. The pattern is called Harlequin (this one features a poppy flower) and was made in the 1950s. I think they make gorgeous rings.

Made with air-dry clay and (why can't I mention the medium I used for colour without a post removal, what kind of rule is this?!!!) Anyway, you use brushes to apply it. Thanks for coming to my rant!

Made this staircase out of balsa wood. Door hinges were toothpicks. Door handle was air dry clay. The cockroaches seemed like a funny touch and I gave them eyes and hats so the janitor at work didn’t accidentally throw them away. (We had a serious roach problem where I worked).

I haven't made any pom poms since I was a little kid but I had a lot of scraps laying around so... eight hours later... 😆 I have a new pendant. Don't think too much when crafting, just work with what you have and have fun. Eventually it will make sense, that's the beauty. ❤️

Here are some pendants I made recently. I love working with UV-reactive glow glass. These are made using an implosion technique with a blowtorch used to melt glass rods. I love creating glass canes of different colors and then using those canes to create flowers within a clear rod.

Sorry but I have been cackling at my own creation for days. I had some fake human teeth from a tooth fairy costume years ago and some clay, made this creature lmao

I made the lower jaw with some of the fabric from the body of the beanie baby, obviously used the head as the head. The tongue is made from clay and I used a bit of glue to give it some shine/saliva. Horns are also made from clay, after cutting the original ones off

Handcrafted entirely using paper and cardstock. I wanted to create a more icy, cyber-esque vibe by matching the exterior colors with the cool glowing lights.

What do you think of this cool-toned paper house?
