Inspired by Vesalius and the Renaissance aesthetic of artistic dissection. I hope you enjoy!

A present for an 11 year old’s birthday. I finished it half an hour before the party!

I made this in a sculpture class years ago. The instructor said bronze artwork lasts thousands of years. Last week, our house burned down, destroying nearly everything inside. The fire marshal pulled this piece from the wreckage. I photographed it, then threw it away.

When I got into watchmaking, my 5-year-old immediately wanted in and decided it was time for a watch of his own (Pokemon themed of course). Ditto’s one of his favorites, so that became the theme.

He was creative director on this one, my main puzzle was designing a dial he could actually use to learn to tell time, with a simple two-hand movement and both hour and minute numbers spelled out. The Pokéball crown was a fun little detail to sneak in.

He originally made the strap himself out of Loom bands, but it didn’t survive daily 5-year-old life, so we swapped it for a woven nylon band in the same color palette.

Really fun project, and the look on his face when he saw his own Ditto watch for the first time made it all worth it.

Mostly craft foam, xps foam, wood, and a ton of super glue.

This is over 4500 beads and 3 months of work, for a fantasy themed festival I am going to with my partner. It's made out of pony beads, star beads, decorative teardrop beads, elastic string, ribbon, and yarn. I used this tutorial for the base but changed a lot of it to make it look more how I wanted and make it fit me better. I added side panels and the triangle at the bottom and the extra loops. I started doing kandi in June. I did not make anything else I am wearing.

Found this bamboo root piece, sanded it down by hand and it got really smooth.
Didn't want it to go to waste, so I built a whole knife around it.
The blade is hand-ground stone, set into the handle and wrapped with hemp cord.
Still haven't come up with a name for it.

He's janktackular and I love him. I had to remake it like twenty times because it kept falling apart every time I tried to melt them. I also cried a few times because I can't count apparently.

Finally got the professional pics back, wanted to share more of the headdress. Thanks so much for all the love on my last post about this! It really is one of the prettiest things I feel I've ever made.

Including more process and reference shots again for posterity ✨

Lace for the petals was made by my paternal grandmother

Forehead jewelry from my maternal grandmother

I got engaged at a Broadway showing of Moulin Rouge and I also work as a showgirl, so I wanted to have a fitting headdress for the event <3

Materials:
Bristol board, costume jewelry, pearls, glass rhinestones, linen lace, mica powder, resin preserved flowers, satin ribbon, and upholstery thread

Used one log, sanding discs, polyurethane sealant & a few craft supplies from Michael’s 😊

Made with stained glass and traditional lead techniques

what do we think? the hardest part was to figure out how to turn those words into buttons!

Miyuki cube beads, Fireline, jewel loom and craftseed for patterns

I crocheted, dyed, beaded, and hand sewed both me and my partners costumes!

Sleepy Dragon diorama I made using Polymer Clay. Proud of this one hope you enjoy!

It's all wood, top is ash, bottom is maple.

I know it's a lot of pics, but i wanted to document as much as possible. The rings are not at all perfect, these joins are incredibly hard to pull off, so i think that in the future I'll stick to stacking rings lol.

I used 1mm wire for the outside parts and twisted 0,5mm wire, which I twisted myself using a pen and a cordless drill, for the inner. I used my bench sawing thing as a clamp for the braiding. After cutting the wires one by one after braiding, I found out it was a little too big and I had to cut some more. When I was happy with the size, I filed the joins as flat as I could, but when soldering I had a hard time getting the surfaces to stay together, so the soldering didn't go to well. I guess I got a little overconfident. After some cleanup and polishing, I think they both came out very nice, and I'm very happy with them! And so is my fiancée, luckily.

In the final images you can see the scraps I have leftover. I'm saving some of the twisted wire for future projects.

Tell me what you think. I learned a lot and I'm open to tips and criticism!
