It hangs a little over the nose but I think it’ll be fine, it’ll help anchor the grill piece in place. Ran out of foil and waiting for the new order to come in so I can finish the grill panel. Then the last complicated one is the back panel. Thinking I might do the bottom with the same colour blue as the hood accent, in my head it’ll glow blue underneath when the lights are turned on inside the car but that might not actually work this way in reality LOL. Also wondering what I might use to stand the side panels upright once I’m ready to solder all the panels together. Thoughts?

Ordered the fairy lights that’ll go inside too. I plan on sticking two on the headlights so they’ll glow lol. Also found someone who’s making me a little trailer hitch to solder to it which I thought would be a fun touch! I also plan on making the back window on a hinge so it can be flipped open, and it’ll have axils with the wheels on it so it’ll roll. If all goes to plan at least 😂

Little bit of caching behaviour happening already with them hiding the peanuts just like their parents. Need to get some baby-friendly snacks. The expensive dehydrated kibble I brought was rejected lol

Didn’t have a chance to work on it much the last couple weeks but finally back to my dad’s gift! Learned the hard way to be careful when foiling long skinny pieces, at bottom back bar snapped in 2 pieces right at the last second 😑😑😑….. Was gonna make a new piece but decided not to drive myself crazy and just make it two pieces instead lol. Oh and got totally inspired by u/Overall_Pitch3538 and their little moving car with working wheels!! I’m probably cursing myself but I just HAD to add that element to my Jeep, hence no wheels in the panel lol. Fingers crossed it turns out the way I’m envisioning it!

Genuinely feeling so proud of this little haul, and I was amazed I found all these on my own property! The stinging nettle and cleavers we already fed before with success but today I decided to hunt for some plantain, and ran into the yarrow and chamomile along the way! Will see if the little guy likes those three new ones as well, fingers crossed it helps him not be so itchy.

I used a bandaid after which worked but need to switch to waterproof. I don’t like covering my hands while I work so gloves aren’t a great option for me. What does everyone else use to protect their fingers while going hard on the grinder?

I’m doing the fenders and wheels double cuz I’m trying to give it a little more shape, curious to see how it’ll work out!

This is my most complex project yet so wish me luck 😱. Spent weeks on sketching out all the different panels and today I finally started cutting out the first pieces. My dad has always loved Jeeps and finally got himself one again recently. His birthday is coming up and Father’s Day (for my country) is not much later so this is gonna be a double whammy gift. The back will have a window that lifts up where the lights will be inserted! I’ve never done a 3D project before but I’m so excited!! So if you see lots of progress pictures of this come by in the next weeks I’m sorry LOL

Stained glass/tiffany technique, made by cutting and grinding pieces of glass, wrapping them in copper foil, and soldering them together. Finished with copper patina and a chain for hanging. I made this for my bf to celebrate our two year anniversary!

This is made using the Tiffany technique, a form of stained glass art. The pattern is completely designed by me, then I enlarged it and cut out the pieces from some thicker paper. After cutting and grinding the pieces they get wrapped in copper foil and then soldered together.

Decided to go without the wire accents on the comb after majority voted plus it also meant I didn’t need to spend another hour on it and could patina it and finish 😂
