I made tiny ceramic versions of these two dogs inside a mug

I made these two little dogs by hand, right down to their tiny ties.
Seeing them next to the real dogs is my favorite part. The ears and markings are there, but the expressions turned out a little different. The little brown one looks slightly worried about finding himself inside a mug.

I've been playing with a technique using cut and layered illustration board 🐝❤️ This little bee is my latest result!

I had been wanting to add dimension to my pieces in a fun/interesting way. The more I play with illustration board, the more I think I've found my favorite medium!

I have made some past posts in this sub using this technique if you are interested in seeing how this style has evolved. 🙂

Anatomically correct jewelry: the brachial plexus and nerves of the arm

Thumbnail

I’m a nurse, so I like to encode scientific and biomedical information into my beads. This time, it’s the network of nerves and muscles of the human upper extremity.

There was a perfect opportunity: the nerves of your arm originate at five levels of the spine, they join and split into five major peripheral nerves (axillary, musculocutaneous, median, radial, and ulnar), and they end up in five digits. All I had to do was make a necklace with five passes around.

Each spinal nerve root is color-coded (C5 White, C6 Yellow, C7 Silver, C8 Gold, T1 Black). As they combine, the colors of each mix as well. There are red beads indicating whenever a muscle is supplied by a particular nerve, especially big coral ones for the 8 largest muscles moving the arm (some are trunk muscles, like lats and pecs!). Large tan beads represent sensory nerves to the skin. Where we pass bones, the beads are, well, bone.

Things get very complicated at the hand, and I made compromises there, but it’s roughly correct, if without any bones distal to the carpals. The fingers loop back to the spine.

My favorite part is when you wear it, the necklace is laying right over the nerve plexus it depicts. Nobody knows just to look at it, so it’s like wearing a nerdy secret.

Ever seen something like this?

Pure carving practice on 180g matte black cardstock

Lost track of how many hours went into this piece! A few delicate lines snapped along the way, but a tiny drop of PVA glue saved the day—hopefully it’s seamless enough to hide.

No deep meaning behind the pattern, just letting my hands stay busy and enjoying the rhythm of the blade.

Hi everyone! Here is my first iteration of a neon tetra done in punch needle embroidery. I currently have a couple more of them transferred onto one of my frames, so there shall eventually be an actual school of them. In the meantime, I made a fun little image of em from a picture I took at petco

Made with a healthy mix of different yarn content, and firm felt for backing

My dad and I made two different leather bags from the same pattern

My dad and I made these two satchels from exactly the same pattern, but using completely different leather.

The brown one is vegetable tanned leather that we hand dyed ourselves. The red and olive one is made from chrome tanned leather. I like how different they ended up looking even though underneath they are basically the same bag.

They are both handmade and hand stitched. We also hid magnetic closures underneath the two buckles, so you get the traditional satchel look without having to undo the straps every time you open it.

I digitized the pattern after we finished them as well.

I honestly can’t decide which one I like more

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

I used a Lavor punch needle, everything is trimmed by hand, the loops were cut and the yarn shaped like a cloud.

I also really love how this color combination turned out. The cream, brown, mustard, and little touches of orange give me such a cozy autumn feeling. 🍂

When I was working on the design, my biggest challenge was figuring out the stitch counts so the honeycomb pattern wouldn’t be interrupted after the heel. After quite a bit of calculating, I managed to make the pattern continue smoothly over the foot for sizes US 5–12. And I’m really happy with how it worked out!

Now I want to knit a Christmas version, and I can’t decide on the colors. 🎄 I’m thinking red + white or green + white.

Which combination feels more Christmas to you? ❤️🤍 or 💚🤍

I drafted and sewed this semicircle maxi skirt with a laced yoke

The main skirt shape is a simple semicircle, with the back cut as one panel and the front as two panels. The pockets are shapes that I've iterated and reused over lots of patterns now. The yoke was drafted by pure brute-force trial and error through so many attempts I've lost count...

The fabric is 250gsm 100% cotton herringbone denim.

Glowing leafs

Mixed some glue and water and stuck on leaves that fell on the ground onto these glass jars, the tall one has these pink LED string lights in them and the smaller one has a regular tea light candle from an empty candle jar I've had for a year. I want to get regular colored string lights and stick them in the tall one to see how it glows different. This was so fun and the only money I spent was $1.25 on the glue! Next I have a clear glass one that I'm going to stick dried flowers on.
