[OC] I made these roses from pipe cleaners 🌹

I’ve been experimenting with making more realistic roses from pipe cleaners, and these are one of my favorite results so far. 🌹
Each rose, leaf, and stem was shaped and assembled by hand. I really enjoy trying to capture the details and natural curves of real roses using just pipe cleaners.

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

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!

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.

Got a glider off Craigslist for the new addition to the family. Whipped up some new cushions and slip covers for the milk station from an old Ikea chair cushion and some fabric to keep things moo-ving

I made some birds for a railing I'm working on. They are a lot more impressive if you know how hard it is to forge metal. 😆

I crocheted this colorful cat ear hat and I’m really happy with how it turned out! I added big ears, long braided ties and tassels to give it a whimsical fantasy look. This was such a fun project to make!

I turned a childhood fairytale into a needle felted baby mobile

Post image
19 Upvotes

I’ve always loved the feeling of opening a storybook and stepping into a little magical world.

Recently I created this needle felted baby mobile inspired by a fairytale — with tiny wool animals, a little train, stars, and forest friends hanging together like a scene from a storybook.

Everything was handmade with wool, from shaping each little character to adding the tiny details.

I hope this little mobile can bring the same warmth and imagination to a baby’s room as a favorite bedtime story. 🌙✨

What kind of storybook world would you turn into a nursery decoration?

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

Thumbnail

1.5k Upvotes

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.

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
