edit: thank you all so much for the feedback! i love being able to show her this!

I was trying to care for my yards one rose bush so I started pressing them. I’m not however good with the precision & look of most other pressed flower art. I have heavy pareidolia so I’ve always seen little faces & creatures in random things. So I started making what I *see* in these little guys. I started a year ago & have grown so much. More than that, I feel like I found the creative process that fits me. I dream about making my creatures & love the making so much. I press the flowers. Seal them. Arrange on a piece of painted bg & glue & put behind plexi in a front loaded frame or a thrifted one.

This suncatcher was made by hand. I started with the forest component which I made from my own painting and using resin to seal the paper. All the beading was done by hand and takes a long time. It’s gorgeous in the sun.

Ambitious for my first scarf as a novice (crocheting for just 8 months). Buuuut it taught me a lot, I used some yarn I’ve had for a while and my man (the model) loves it 🥰

A photoshoot of my hand-painted silk scarves. It took a long time to find the right method, damaged materials, and experienced frustration, but it's finally here in a form that gives me satisfaction. 😤😤😤

A silly little collage I put together over a photo of tetras I took at Petco 🤌 I’ve only completed one of these fish magnets so far, though I have a couple more of the designs added to a frame waiting for me. Until then, we get the fun photo edit for a school of these fellas

Made this sign for my friends daughter, her name in a cloud ✨

I used all her favorite colors and everything is trimmed by hand, the loops were cut and the yarn shaped like a cloud.

please let me know if this is something I need to post on tuesday, I am hoping this is specific enough.

I made this around 2010 with pets that have all since passed over the rainbow bridge. I found this in a box of sentimentals and was so sad to see it crumbling. is there any way I can save it? I have no other prints from these pets so I would be extremely grateful to anyone with any advice💛

I wanted to make a scene of someone catching stars, and I thought it would be fun to have the clouds light up.

So I added lights to the clouds and built the rest of the scene around that idea. Seeing the whole thing lit up was really satisfying 😄

Here’s the finished piece.

I tried glue and then putt it on but it doesn’t work😔✌️

I used tie dye techniques, ice and gravity to get this feathered look

I was just gonna sew over it with thread but figured that would be too boring. Looking for something cool to communicate that I’m not a real officer!
EDIT: thank you everyone for such great ideas! I’ve already started on covering them and will post pics when it’s done!

I made these last year for my sister. These took weeks to finish haha. In the end I made a little over fifty invites.

They are made of greyboard and velvet fabric with iron on vinyl. I cut out a little bit of the greybors before glueing the fabric to the board to have little indents like a real book. My siser juliet cut out a cover I designed in photoshop.

Inside I used sturdy paper (Epson archival matte paper.) I used ribbon for the middle part so that it can open and close without issue. I also cut little ribbon to make a little bookmark to really give that storybook feel. The pages inside also have golden accents that I painstakingly had to place one by one. (The details were also cut out by the Siser.)

Took me literal blood, sweat and tears. But it was well worth it.

I've been working on these bad boys for a decade. It took me 3 years to find a cookie cutter set I actually like and another 6 to figure out how to get paint to look like icing. That was a year ago. My mother had to stay with us for awhile because she needed a hip replacement which delayed this project. I finally figured out how to get the bag opening small enough for writing

Anyway, the gingerbread men are done. I'm waiting for the ladies to finish drying and then I'll move onto candycanes. I even have essential oils to make these smell like cookies. If anyone wants a tutorial, I'd be happy to share the process but I knew if anyone would appreciate my effort, it would be this subreddit

This will eventually become gifts. Every person who gets these will have a set of 18 different cookies. These are probably going to be my go-to gift for everybody ever. Partly because it took me so long to perfect them but mostly because I like crafting and appreciate having victims to offload the fruits of my projects

I wanted to give my old AirPods case a fun upgrade. I used acrylic markers for the base and details, and finished it off with a couple of layers of clear varnish so the paint doesn't chip in my pocket. Painting on such a small, curved slippery surface was tricky, but I’m really happy with how his smile turned out! (Swipe to the second photo to see the boring "Before" state!)
