I've been thinking about getting some sections of hair dyed for a fun peekaboo splash of color, but if I'm being honest, I don't think I would maintain it super well right now. I decided to play with jewelry supplies I had around the house and these wig clips. Each strand is made of beading wire, and finished with crimp beads. A couple of the ends need adjusted, I decided to finish without my pliers, so I clumsily squished the crimp beads with a key. 😅 But they're done, and I kinda love it! Green is up next!

​Base: Brass. Engraved using a fiber laser

​Enamel: Cold enamel, carefully applied using an insulin syringe for fine details

Thanks for looking! :)

I made this bouquet from air dry clay as a gift a few months ago. Looking back at them now, I can see so many things I'd do differently. But I don't think that takes anything away from it. I'm still happy I made these. They were created with care, gifted with love. And they became a small part of someone else's story.

I'm so in love with my new frog friend. He's made with textured green yarn and features hand-sculpted polymer clay eyes for maximum expression. But the real stars of the show are his fabulous, long red-and-white striped stockings! I think they give him a lot of personality. What do you think?

(And a very messy studio photo to show my art is not AI.)

Basically, I’m grieving and I need to ask my friends for help. I want something to keep me busy, but also give my friends as a little gift in exchange for taking care of me as this grief sidelines me.

I am thinking some sort of flower. The less mess the better.

Girlfriend bought this goose and the neck wasn't supported on the way home.

Best ideas to fix it?

Patch with some sort of sticky cement slurry? Plaster? Any ideas welcome.

I don't make mugs very often, but every now and then I like to challenge myself.

After creating a Day of the Dead possum figurine that completely stole my heart, I couldn't stop thinking about turning the idea into something functional, so I decided to make a mug.

What started as a fun experiment ended up becoming my favorite mug I've ever made. From the bone-shaped handle to the pearlescent finish and the skeleton possum, every little detail made me fall in love with it even more.

It took a lot of time and patience, but seeing it finally finished made every hour worth it.
I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed bringing it to life!

Hi! This is my first time messing around with shrink plastic so idk if this is the right sub for these questions( and if there’s a more better sub for this please feel free to suggest)! I have two questions:

1. Does anyone know how to get rid of this splotchiness on the shiny side after it’s done baking? Ive tried slightly varying temps and cook time, parchment paper vs foil, and flattening with a foil covered spatula after cooking and I can’t get rid of this issue. Idk how well it comes across in the pictures, but it always comes out with some parts smooth and shiny and other parts rough and foggy.
2. Does anyone know any good finishing alternatives to UV resin that don’t yellow super quickly? I’ve tried applying a thin coat of mod podge and then polyurethane on top but I’ve had some trouble with the colors bleeding and not getting the nice doming effect. I might just give in and try resin if I can’t find a good substitute but I really don’t want to deal with all the PPE and ventilation stuff if I can avoid it lol

(btw I used prismacolor colored pencils if that affects anything!) and any help is greatly appreciated <3

I wanted to make something metal

The pink one was white! First time dyeing, first time sewing, first time making patches!

So basically I used to make a ton of patches. The ones in the picture above are some of the ones I made. I unfortunately dropped that hobby for about a year and recently decided I’d like to start making them again. Unfortunately the markers I’ve tried recently do not show up well on black fabric, and I can’t for the life of me remember what kind I used that made them look so bright like they do in the picture. I’d love to hear if anyone has recommendations for precise markers that would be good for a project like this. Thanks in advance.

Okay, trying again. Here's all the arting I done over the past week. I am hoping this post will be suitable.

I need 2x6 prints. Most high speed printers can only support 4x6. I want to find a system to make an easy tearaway incision down the center of the paper to make 2 2x6 prints.

------

I'm currently trying to save some money on printers as the dedicated 2x6 printer can cost up to 1000 dollars and that's not including refills. I've been looking around to find fast and cost effective printers so I can eventually duplicate that set up.

These printers can natively only support 4x6 print size. I've thought of an idea of maybe creating an easy tear away point right down the middle of the 4x6. So it splits into two 2x6 prints. I just need help finding tools that could do this efficiently please suggest anything!

You're probably thinking of why not just gelatine it when it prints. My goal is to find a system that requires no supervision.
