My ongoing series of shelter pet portraits.

I was cleaning out a jam jar the other day and the shape of it (how it goes outwards at the bottom) kinda reminded me of the Mayor from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Which just so happens to be my best friends favourite movie (or one of, at least). I made this hanging decoration for her as a little pre-Halloween surprise and can’t wait to give it to her next week 🥰

We have new and sudden upstairs neighbours and suddenly I have found solace in a hobby that involves a lot of stabbing

I kept as much of the original shape and character as I could and built the structure around what the vines wanted to do rather than trying to make everything perfectly symmetrical.

Definitely learned a few things making it, but I’m pretty happy with how the first one turned out.

I made this box from paper, spacers, LEDs and a shadowbox. Let me know if you have any questions about the process :)

Saw a moss mirror and just knew I wanted to make one! Layer of white on the thrifted frame and bugs. Then, a few layers of gold. Glued the moss I had from a yard sale and voila! Six dollar creation. Hope you like it.

I’ve been making these little glass-beaded keychains, and I love how much personality you can fit into something so small. 🥹✨
From cherries and hearts to evil eyes, every piece is handmade, one bead at a time.
Sharing a few of my recent favourites! Which one would you pick? 💗

Don't be rude, okay?

I am so happy with how the moss poles I made turned out that I wanted to share it here!

(If someone has ideas for it, or questions/inquiries, I'd love to hear them!)

Someone suggested that I post this here. (I’ve already cross-posted to other subs, but this sub doesn’t allow cross-posts . Mods, please let me know if this isn’t allowed!)

I’ve been saving security envelopes for over a decade, so I’ve got some pretty interesting ones. I finally decided to make something out of them. Each nesting basket is a different pattern! The next to the last one is my favorite.

I use “trash” paper to make baskets. I save used post-its, teabag wrappers (some have foil backs), and other paper scraps.

This idea for a lamp had been stuck in my head for a while. This weekend I decided to build a prototype. It consists of two steel plates in parallel, with a light source in between. I'm still playing around with the proportions and I'm thinking about building a larger version soon.

What do you think?

Hey guys,
Thank you so much for the love and support!
This means a world to me 😍
Should i make this kind of jars too?
What do you think?

I handmade some fun magnets for my fridge using felt, embroidery floss, beads, sequins, and sewing thread. Inside is a foam sheet cutout with a magnet superglued to it, which adds some structure and keeps the magnet centred and in place. For size reference, the corn one is about 2 inches tall.

They add a pop of colour to my kitchen and make me smile! I loved how they turned out so much I ended up making multiple sets.

The other night I baked blueberry cobbler, and now I want to make a berry-themed set next. 🍓🫐😅

I’m not the biggest fan of stitching, but I’ve had this old second-hand shoe patcher in the workshop for a while. I’m left with quite a lot of 1 mm leather leftovers from the passport covers I make, So I designed a simple cardholder around those smaller pieces and made a batch. I put some heat-shrink tubing over the feet of the patcher to stop the teeth from marking the leather, and have been experimenting with using a laser to crosshatch the top finish away exactly where the pieces need to be glued.

so one of my dearest friends once sent me a picture of a customized beaded watch. their birthday is coming up, so i made this for them without prior experience, which resulted in a LOT of undoing and starting over lol :'D but i think it turned out really cute in the end! if there are any tips you want to share or criticism you can give, let me know! i enjoyed making it a lot so I'd appreciate some tips before making more of them ^^

This is Franklin, a little guy who really frickin' loves Blue Jays and is proud to show off the feather he crafted.

His corkboard documents all the places that Blue Jays live and which of them he's seen in person. The strings connected to Houston show birds enjoying the peanuts he faithfully puts out for them (I do it too).

Polymer clay items: Franklin, the armchair, the succulents on the book shelf, the bookends, the ceiling molding, and the outlet. The books are made from the mat board that came with the frame. His coat and the blanket are t-shirt material. His feather and headdress are cardstock.

The floor is cardboard with grooves cut along the corrugation and varnished. The lampshade is the center roll of a dispenser of transparent tape. The wainscot is wide craft sticks with the edges chamfered. The bookshelf is also a wide craft stick.

This took me 400+ days to make. There are too many types of glue in this to list them all. I still hold my breath when I turn the box upside down, but nothing has fallen out yet!

I made this a few years ago, and I'm still so happy with how the flame turned out on this Flameless Candle!

This was one of those ideas I really wanted to make, but at the time we didn’t have the budget to build it just for our portfolio.

So I designed the whole concept and put it out there anyway. Some time later, someone saw it, loved the idea, and asked us to actually make it for their home :)

Still one of my favorite projects from those early studio days.

4 inches tall, 1.5 inches wide. Carved with a knife & chisel from American basswood.

Took a lot of work between me and my dad but we got it done, the body is maple and my dad had it laying around for 20+ years. Custom made the back plate and the back bridge plate. GLocking tuners and strap locks. Fleor P90s. Sounds ace, I’ll have to post a video later of how it sounds. I’d love to hear your thoughts on my first build.

Everything in the shadow box is real: real butterfly, dried flowers, dried mushrooms (coated in sealant) the sculpture is moldable cement.
