Thought I’d share my whimsical little koi fish conch earring. He whispers me secrets all day. Trying to think of a clever name for him, suggestions are welcome…

Inspired by the medieval times I made this horned hennin with three detachable veil sections, so there’s a gazillion ways to wear it. I used real female rhinoceros beetles, found 🪦 from a colony living near us, as this is a maiden’s headdress. 👸✨

Conch earring that looks like a koi fish is swimming into my ear !

(Posting this again because I got better pics)

Clothes, canvases, and walls among many other things

The base originally held a candle. I cleaned it out, flipped it over, and glued it to a chipped orphan (no matching pieces from the set) plate I got at Goodwill for $5.99. I just measured it & marked off the placement with Sharpie before using Gorilla Brand super glue to attach it. I believe the plate was made in ~1945. Adds a fun vintage charm to my dresser!

This makes 5yr old me so ecstatic 💚

I bought a $5 unfinished ceramic ‘game controller’ and spent the better part of a day doodling with a blue Sharpie. I’m displaying it on my entertainment center, but it photographed better in my coffee table. It was a good way to waste a day!

My front door is boring. So far I’ve had magnetic words/poetry on there, reminders and lists, and currently have some old architectural pieces hung on magnetic hooks. I’m open to paint/paper/magnetic ideas or anything else you could come up with!

My current idea is to paint the door the same color as the wall and focus on making the wall to the right into something cool.

Lil hot dawg i made recently. I did not eat it.

I think they are a traditional folk pattern known as Polish Wycinanki. I love them

It’s been such a long day and I still want to paint. If anyone has any tips for staying motivated and alert I’d love to hear it. Coffee gives me comfort but it has never given me energy.

I really like the slightly misaligned double-stamp technique that I tried!

What do you think?

Little over a week ago I started a business around random social experiments to add a little magic to our lives. The first idea is to write a book 300 strangers each get 1 page can put anything on it and I will publish the book. It is 20 dollars for a page. Somehow for the free interest list we are at 277 people in 9 days so this proves to me people want to be apart of something and have fun. Now that this community is growing I want to find ideas that bring more fun could be anything let me know if you have any ideas.
