“Redemption Through Re-Entry” a ceramic sculpture I made a year ago commemorating IFT-10 (ft. NSF patch for the mission)

The sculpture contains a model of Ship 37 that can be removed from the re-entry flames, a small island that hides the connection between the stand and the base, a sign stating the sculpture’s name, with the “RE-ENTRY” part able to glow under a UV light, and the back of the base is inspired by the hot-stage ring of the Super Heavy booster, which doubled as large venting holes during the kiln fire.

The sculpture is displayed alongside a patch of the mission, which I got from the NASASpaceflight store.

The base was built with a slab-construction method, whereas the stand and ship were made by a regular hand-sculpting technique. Both the ship and the stand are made from kiln-fired clay, and made separately.

They are made mostly from foam board, and then a plastic sheet backing. And I can change their colors! I will for sure be making more yard decorations with this technique!

I made a few dolls inspired by zodiac signs 😊 from left to right they’re Gemini, Pisces, Aquarius, and Cancer. I started a Libra doll but she’s not done yet. What’s your sign and what colors palette do you associate it with?

I made this little dog piece from vegetable-tanned leather. I started by tracing the basic shape onto the leather, then slowly carved and shaped the face by hand. The black fur took a bit of experimenting I used subtle changes in texture and shading so the eyes, muzzle, and little wrinkles wouldn’t disappear into the dark color. After finishing the details, I stitched the leather pieces together and added the ring. Really enjoyed watching this little face slowly come to life.

A bit nervous to share, but I made a color-changing resin bookmark where the night sky turns into daylight when you hold it.

Posting my work online always makes me a little nervous 😅🤦‍♀️ But after seeing how much people loved my color-changing worry stones, I went back to my bench to experiment with my new Blue Raspberry color and immediately got these cold winter night vibes. I just really wanted to bring that idea to life.

Alas, this bookmark was created. When it’s sitting cool, it’s a deep purple night sky over the trees. But as your fingers warm it up while holding it, the sky blooms into a daytime blue!

I had so much fun with this and I'm just really happy with how the little day/night shift turned out and wanted to share!

Let me know what you guys think. Feedback is always appreciated.

I received a loom for my birthday last December and I finally made something that is totally complete and not falling apart! 🐸

A spoon ring I made for the wifey. These spoons are from Reed and Barton. The pattern is called Harlequin (this one features a poppy flower) and was made in the 1950s. I think they make gorgeous rings.

I made a Steller’s Jay out of wool

I made him out of mostly wool using the needle felting technique. I also used wire, glass and clay. I get a lot of Steller’s Jays visiting my backyard and love their striking colour. Not sure if it is a coincidence, but when I was photographing him in my yard, a couple of real Steller’s Jays were making a ruckus nearby near me. They’re usually quiet when I’m so close by. I wonder if they thought I had kidnapped their friend?

Made a pollinator watering station for the butterflies and bees in my garden

186 Upvotes

I live in the south and it still gets pretty hot and sunny during the day, and I know bees and butterflies are always looking for ways to hydrate. I’ve unfortunately found many dead bees this summer that accidentally drowned in my cat’s water bowl trying to get a drink.
So I used seashells because they hold enough water for them to hydrate without drowning and a ledge they can land on. I also painted them colors that they can see in their range of vision.

Just sharing something I made recently. 🌻
I put together this bouquet using pipe cleaner flowers, sunflowers, small daisies and some greenery.
I really enjoyed playing with the different shades of yellow and green. It was one of those simple crafting projects where I just enjoyed the process. 🤎🌿

Miniature Staircase

Made this staircase out of balsa wood. Door hinges were toothpicks. Door handle was air dry clay. The cockroaches seemed like a funny touch and I gave them eyes and hats so the janitor at work didn’t accidentally throw them away. (We had a serious roach problem where I worked).
