i’ve gotta let go of my gumball lamp

super sad to have to sell this guy, but it’s listed on ebay now if anyone wants to acquire a gumball machine aqua lamp. found out my cars likely going to die long before my payments are up so i’ve gotta cut my collection down and this one’s one of the easiest to ship 😔

✨edit✨
thank you so much to everyone who’s bid and been bidding, it truly means the world to me that A. so many people enjoy something that i too thoroughly have enjoyed owning, but furthermore i’m 25, i groom dogs for a living, and i don’t really have family so i don’t have anyone to fall back on when things get tight financially, so for this auction to get to where it’s gotten so far means the world to me and helps more than ya’ll probably realize.

did a little diy painting

i need to sand the edges of the wood down a bit more once it’s sealed and dry, but overall i’m happy with it

recommendations for recapping a hot rock?

i have this glitter hot rock i eventually want to refurb because it’s got some sort of purple residue in the bottom but the bottle caps a crimp cap and it’s larger than a normal bottle cap so i’m at a bit of a loss on how to recap it once i open it up

what a world of a difference some extra AB drills can make on small paintings

the kit only came with black for the cat, it would’ve looked like an absolutely blob if i’d done it the way the kit intended me to

interest check

i’m considering recreating my bat lamp to sell/auction/raffle since so many have asked to buy one.
but i wanted to make sure there’s actually interest in this before building another one.

i also would want to test run it for about a month before selling it, so it wouldn’t be posted for sale until about october.

Bats! pt2 the holo version 🦇✨

i got two different kinds of glitters to try for a bat lamp and ended up doing both versions.
i prefer the more solid black bats though personally

the final jack-o-lamptern

about double the jacks, no fine glitter

i’m much happier with this version, i’m going to paint the base and sculpt a jack-o-lantern to be the cap, but that’ll take some time so it may be a while till that’s posted

jack o lantern lamp update:

tbh idk how i feel about it with the micro glitter, i think i may end up filtering the glitter back out and doing clear with just the jack o lanterns

i’m very pleasantly surprised these are flowing, gonna let em run for a few more days, get some more jack-o-lantern glitter in there and then add some fine glitter for some extra shine! 🎃
