Other Mother’s Button Box!
Scrap cardboard, paper, tape, glue, pillow fillings, string, felt, a spool and some buttons. Super rough around the edges since the tape was a pain, but it did the trick for a preHalloween party, so good enough 😬

Some years ago I made Sparky (aka #Frankenweenie).

I originally wanted to stitch it around an existing plush, but then, as usual, decided to go another route and just stuff him with fluff. He is still lovely though.

“Ever see an alice with a blossom like that?”

No sanding, priming, anything, because ain’t nobody got time for that when it’s just an outlet for a primal, childlike crave to just create stuff w/o pressures.

I wanted to recreate some of the Evil Queen’s spell books from Disney’s #snowwhite and I sincerely had no idea what I was doing in this process but I’ve been using them as makeup containers for a few years now and they hold up daily use well 😁

#craft
In focus are two chunky, handmade book-spines saying Astrology and Alchemy akin to books featured in a scene of 1937 animated movie Snowwhite. Next to them are two smaller real books.

Quick #gumgumfruit #gomugomunomi with very non-canon colors (unconsciously needed it to match my den den mushi, ok 😂). A great way to use some of the foam clay that shipped to me in a semi-hardened tub of sadness.

REALLY scared of spiders but also a weirdo, so after seeing #embroideryspider brooch on Etsy, I tried my hand making one. Since I refused to look at any references, nothing here is anatomically correct 😂
First time #embroidery, managed create something 🙌 Yay!

STORMBREAKER ⚡️

Finding awesome tutorials to follow is a great way to make an awesome item, struggling and figuring it out as you go is a great way to find child-like joy and drive your perfectionist self mad in the process. Win-win!

MOTH.

I’m always eyeing on #oversizedbugs created by so many talented artists, so of course had to give it a try. All it’s missing is the antennas, but I’ll get to those.. never?

Back in 2020 we all tried new stuff, and I finished #inktober
It was fun but intense. Hat’s off for people doing it every single year!

Here is part 1/2 of a few highlights, just so I can remember doing this and hopefully be inspired to do more in the future 🙏✨

In the process of abandoning Instagram due to the lack of shared values, so posting some older projects, while waiting for the direct alternative to come out.

Something I made after catching up on #OnePiece.
Could’ve I sanded him a bit better? Yes.
Could’ve I bothered? Obviously not 😂✨
I hardly had put in glue to some of the dial parts (not pictured) when I was already fetching my paints..

But I still love him ☺️

Another throw back to the time I made a #mandalorian #foamhelmet out of dollar spot materials.
Was it perfect? Nah 🤣
Did it matter? Nope! I had never done anything like this before so definitely I learned new things!
