Made a new design with #XylendriaChronicles theme that I'm gonna use for a #phonecase. Printed version failed, pla and tpu don't mix, barely any color options and new filament required just for one case = I ordered one instead 😅

Anyway,
Stay cozy, stay curious 🐾

I FORGOT ABOUT BSKY!!!

Sorry for being absent recently — Literally forgot about bsk 😭
The knife has actually been finished a while baclk. Went great for a first try, but there’s room for improvement (see comment for more info ☺️).

As always,
Stay cozy, stay curious 🐾

#knifemaking #metalwork #knife
finished knife, my first try on making pattern welded steel! For a first it really went well but there where quite a few hickups. Biggest one, damn that steel was hard to forge by hand. I supose the high manganese concentration made it very stiff, and therefore hard to stretch out. Damn, I would love to have a forgepress... then I undercalculated the billet, and the knife turned out smaller, thinner and narrower then expected. But even so, I still love it!

A new way of making spoons I came up with last year.
Got in contact with some local tea & coffee shops for a colab but sadly my lathe broke

I'm curently focusing more on blacksmithing again but when I have some spare money, I'll make sure to get a lathe again!

#lathe #woodworking #craft #handmade
closeup of the spoon. basically the outside is turned, then cut in half and then the inside is turned and a picture of the spoon as a little present

Done! ☺️

I am really happy with the result, specially the tail I'm proud of! But I did change the posture a little bit which setback shading, but definetly worth it!

tips, tricks and critique always welcome!

Small little #weekendproject!
I made a similar cupboard a while back to fit inside a bigger cupboard (don't ask 😅) and my mom requested another one. Made out of really crappy pallet wood and stained with a varnish mix.

Drew the second type new. And for this one also the first time, so no old and new comparison 😅

Critique, tips & tricks are always welcome. Specially about designing such "pages"!

Anway, stay cozy, stay curious 🐾
#digitalart #drawing #art #OC #characterdesign #Bestiary #rtpls #commentpls #xylendria
Todays drawing is a Bestiary page for the ghost lichtlein of type "care & belonging". In maho theyRe called lihulis and have a cresend moon with a dot in the middle. Its supose to be a symbolic hug XD Lihulis are the caretakers of their plane. They gather around places of pain or stress -- comforting wilting plants, grieving creatures or arguing beings. Oh and apparently they also smell a bit of cinnamon :P

Journeyman's piece of #okami #amaterasu over the days!
Thought I'd share a collection of each day, showing the process a bit better 😊

#apprenticeship #wood #woodsculpture #woodworking #woodcarving #relief #woodrelief #carving #sculpture #sculpting
A picture a classmate mate of the process Day 6-7 Forming the wolf wasn't all that hard actually but the legs, and even worse the paws, damn that was hell! I never really made paws, I cant even draw that nicely so this was a big burden XD 3-4th day. I realized that I cant, or at least shouldnt, form the cliff before the legs are defined so I stoped it. Instead I switched to the flames but efter forming that too, it was finally time to start with the wolf part... End of day 1. I mainly focused the cliff cause I was too scared to actually start forming out the wolf XD

Added a description!
I'll also include an older version of this ghostlichtlein-type. Which one do y'all prefer? I prefer the new one honestly😅

Anyone interested to know more about Xylendria, shall I post more lore content?

Stay cozy, stay curious🐾
