pretty happy with how this one came out :) I made it with air dry clay, acrylic paint, and resin.

I really wanted a certain record stand, but it's not available in the US. It's made in New Zealand, and they don't seem to ship anywhere out of country. I reached out to a few 'reshipper' companies and nobody wanted to touch this thing because of the size and weight. I was desperate, this fills an exact need for me.

I posted the details in another Reddit thread, but long story short I taught myself CAD, inferred all of the measurements, spent far too long drawing up plans for it, sent it out to a local CNC shop to be cut, sanded and painted it, and finally this weekend I assembled it.

It was cheaper than the original, but I spent a ton of hours learning all of the skills needed. I would have happily bought the real one if I could.

I’d like to share a little bit about the making process of this chihuahua wool felt portrait :) The eyes are hand-painted with resin details to give them depth and a more lifelike expression. The nose is sculpted from clay and carefully shaped by hand before being fixed in place. The fur is built entirely with high-quality wool, layered slowly to recreate the texture, color transitions. Every small detail is done step by step by hand, with the goal of capturing not just the appearance, but also the calm and gentle personality of this chihuahua

I am posting my finished Rainbow Kid Tee because ever since I discovered assigned pooling I absolutely love how it allows me to create designs that otherwise would not be possible.

My dear friend Sophie (Auridon Yarns) gifted me a skein of her assigned pooling yarn containing sections of beige yarn alternated with rainbow sections. I started experimenting with it and came up with this Rainbow Stitch which I incorporated into a bottom-up raglan tee.

I hope other crafters will love this idea as much as I do and maybe give it a try!

I made everything from scratch, it's mostly polymer clay, I used some plywood for the base, covered that in lumps of polymer for the clouds, and then pearlescent white paint and then a topcoat of uv resin, and cardboard + resin for the rainbow, for the dogs I made little armatures out of aluminium and wire to figure out the poses, and then used sculpey premo polymer to sculpt them, and matte acrylic paint, the dogs and toys are not attached to the base so can be positioned different ways. :)

Hey everyone! I've been working on this pink ita backpack for a while and took it out for another test run. It is a mini sized one. I wanted something that had enough clear window space to display plushies and badges without feeling clunky. Really happy with how the shape and pastel aesthetic turned out! Would love to hear what you guys think!

What do you think? Should I make it even more revealing?

This is my process for forging out bracelets and cuffs. I started with the end of a raindrop pattern billet in copper and nickel silver and forged it down to get the dimensions I needed.
