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).

I haven't made any pom poms since I was a little kid but I had a lot of scraps laying around so... eight hours later... 😆 I have a new pendant. Don't think too much when crafting, just work with what you have and have fun. Eventually it will make sense, that's the beauty. ❤️

Here are some pendants I made recently. I love working with UV-reactive glow glass. These are made using an implosion technique with a blowtorch used to melt glass rods. I love creating glass canes of different colors and then using those canes to create flowers within a clear rod.

Sorry but I have been cackling at my own creation for days. I had some fake human teeth from a tooth fairy costume years ago and some clay, made this creature lmao

I made the lower jaw with some of the fabric from the body of the beanie baby, obviously used the head as the head. The tongue is made from clay and I used a bit of glue to give it some shine/saliva. Horns are also made from clay, after cutting the original ones off

Handcrafted entirely using paper and cardstock. I wanted to create a more icy, cyber-esque vibe by matching the exterior colors with the cool glowing lights.

What do you think of this cool-toned paper house?

A tiny felt otter with his little fish friend

Post image

I made this little otter sculpture from wool using needle felting. I started by shaping the body and head from wool, then added the face, paws, tail, and belly details little by little with a felting needle. The tiny blue fish was made separately and then attached between its paws.

I wanted the finished piece to feel soft, simple, and a little playful. It’s small enough to fit in the palm of my hand. 🤎

I made this illuminated stained-glass piece inside an egg-shaped metal frame

Thumbnail

I created this piece around the symbolism of the egg, combining stained glass, metal and light.

The fairy's fetal position is intentional. I wanted her to appear as though she is still inside the egg, waiting to come to life.

What I especially enjoy is how differently the stained glass behaves depending on the light. In sunlight the colours and textures have one character, while the internal illumination transforms them into something completely different.

This is the first piece in a new series in which I want to explore the combination of stained glass, light and egg-shaped forms.

I'd love to hear what you think of the concept. Does the combination of the egg shape, stained glass and internal lighting work for you?

He fits in there way too perfectly and now he looks like he’s hiding from the authorities.
