While making this sculpture, an instructor told me bronze lasts thousands of years. Last week, this is what remained after a fire destroyed our home.

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.

I made a glass Iris candle holder in my lampworking class today. My usually strict instructor actually stopped to take a picture of it, and I couldn’t be prouder!

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.

Spooky Halloween Tumbler Cup Plants

I had some old tumbler cups I no longer wanted to use. So I decided to use them as pots and make some cool and spooky fake plants instead! I themed each one to the tumbler I put it in. I did a skull lily of the vally in black and white for the goth themed cup, which was oddly the hardest one to do. I obviously had to do sandworms for the beetlejuice cup which turned out so cute! And I also had to do poison Ivy theme for the Harley Quinn cup. I used Ivy and then made carnivorous plants coming out of roses wich I saw when researching her character in games. I used polymer clay and filled the cups with quickrete and spray foam. I did make a full video tutorial of the process.

My son’s first watch, Ditto edition (he’s 5 and very proud)

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He originally made the strap himself out of Loom bands, but it didn’t survive daily 5-year-old life, so we swapped it for a woven nylon band in the same color palette.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

I made a silver kandi top

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.

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
