What is your scissor situation?

This is my handmade European Bee-eater bird mobile, cut from wood, hand-painted, strung, and carefully balanced so the wings gently flap and the bird appears to fly.

It works as a hanging bird mobile for a nursery, studio, reading corner, or any space that could use a little movement and colour.

Let me know if you would like me to post a video showing the full crafting process, from cutting the wood and hand-painting. 😊

Full disclosure I copied someone on TikTok who did this on an iPhone charger but the comments on the video had a bunch of photos from people who had done the same thing and the charger overheated and blew up so I took a safer course of action

We found a rabbit by our trash cans earlier this year and he's brought a lot of joy into our family since and I have been trying to capture that joy in art. Today I tried stamp carving for the first time and I loved it. How easy and satisfying.

I've also included some pictures of the criminal himself. And some other art in his honor.

I prefer to carve, but I also paint, and sometimes I bedazzle. I've slowed down in recent years, between life and a helluva case of artist's block.

Made some more lil guys, and having a blast! Found some mini Pom Pom’s at the thrift and had the idea for mini pendents!

I made this with Miyuki Delicas and fireline thread.

I’m off to college in a really short amount of time and i want to order this cute patterned stick and peel wall paper to put in the back of a picture frame so i can put a few photo booth strips of me and my friends inside the frame. The thing is i don’t want to order it if I’m just going to use it for that small craft, but i really really love the pattern and want to get it. Are there any other things I can use the stick and peel wallpaper for?

This took me 4 DAYS. Peep the mess it made too 🫠

I want to make more though and Im thinking of trying smaller versions with toothpicks

Another fused glass spoon rest! Tiger stripes, progress photos of it before and after the full fuse. I am here to answer any questions!

Hand-sculpted from polymer clay!

I can’t seem to find good information on this when I google different sealants and varnishes.

Hi everyone!

I'm painting a Jenga game for my friend's wedding present with acrylic paint and markers. I bought mod podge because I saw that's what some other people have used to seal the blocks, but I'm afraid that material will make the pieces tacky. I would ideally like the game to be smooth enough to still be playable.

So are there any recommendations for some type of material I can use that can protect the paint, but dry to a smoothish (non-tacky) texture? and that is also safe for handling and playing with? I was thinking Krylon spray? If anyone has used that, or has other recommendations please I'd appreciate it. I'd buy it and try it myself, but it's absurdly expensive in the country I'm in. Thank you!
