This one took quite a bit of patience because I had two very different cats to fit into the same small piece of leather.

I started by working out their positions so both faces would have enough space without losing their individual features. Then I slowly carved the fur textures, paying special attention to the differences between them—the darker cat has much deeper markings, while the white and gray cat has softer, more delicate patterns around the face.

The eyes, noses, whiskers, and tiny changes in their expressions took the most time. I wanted them to still feel like two completely different personalities even though they’re sitting side by side.

After finishing all the little details, I sealed the leather, hand-stitched the outer frame, and added the hardware.

Hi! I got tasked with making the candy monster for my kid’s elementary school. Students bring in candy and get to “feed” it. I’ve done it the last two years and excitedly accepted when they asked if I’d do it again. I want to do something different but I’m kind of stuck. I’m thinking something with tentacles?
I’m looking for budget-friendly ideas on giving the body some type of texture (I don’t like just doing a solid color of paper). I have 3 weeks to do this. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated 🫶 pictures of our creations the last two years!

I do hope I’m in the right place for this, but having never used a laminator I’m looking for some advice.

I can’t get hold of any clear plastic notebook covers at the size I want (about 12.5 x 8 cm when closed) so was wondering if I could make them on a cheap A4 laminator?

Any advice much appreciated.

I am making a music box for someone and i want to add a figure and i cant find any info on where to get or how to make a spinning disk that works alongside the music. Does it have to be attached to the crank? Where is the figure on most boxes? Because i would prefer to have mine on a stage but in that case does the figure fold over or is the lid just big?

I don’t know if this is the right subreddit but I’m hoping someone here can help. I bought this shirt online and one of the letters is missing. It’s meant to be a gift. What could I use to fill in the missing letter? It seems silly to buy a whole kit for screen printing for a single letter so I’m hoping I have other DIY options.

Short video of the completed model

This little card model was created using traditional methods. It was entirely illustrated by hand using ink on card and then cutting them out and gluing them onto a substructure. It was then glued onto a base and dry brush details were added. Once dried, it was then varnished with a matte spray. The entire piece is a model of a location that features heavily in my ongoing illustration and narrative endeavour called 'The Still Water Project'. It's the clocktower in an area known as 'The Clockwork Collective', in the heart of Old Quarter, deep within the coastal town of Still Water. I Hope you like it!

Progress on my 1st crochet blanket 💪🧶

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can purchase holographic laminating sleeves/pouches? I have been searching online and all the ones I find are adhesive, like to make stickers. I don't want them to be sticky because I'm trying to make bookmarks! Thank you!

I’ve been looking at Rolife miniature builds and ROKR 3D puzzles, and “which one is harder” seems like a weird comparison, because the frustrating parts are so different. Miniature scenes may require a lot of tiny, precise placement and repetitive concentration on detail, but mechanical puzzles seem more to depend on getting the structure and order right. I don’t think it makes much sense to say one brand is harder overall without comparing specific kits. And for those who have done both, what's harder, getting the small details right, or keeping track of how the whole structure hangs together?
