Stainless steel, dyed quartz and glass crystals

I made some other jewellery, but this style is my favourite so far and I think this is the style I will keep practicing. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how I can improve. I would love to eventually start making accessories and items people can wear.

Tried engraving on mirrors this week for the first time.

Even if it's my first time trying something, I'm always overly ambitious is whatever I'm doing. Lol.

This was fun though, and I'm excited to try more.

I'm really enjoying my new craft. So far I have made a bunch of stamps and these two are my better ones. Still improving and having fun making stamps. I really loved how my cat ufo stamp turned out.

All parts undergo detail depth layering and dome processing. Relief is applied to the mini dome without retouching. After drying, the imperfections will be removed.

hi yall, i hope i’m in the right place for this. so i’m working on a painting/3D piece for the end of the semester of my art elective.

i really love the idea of aliens abducting cows for some reason, it’s funny but it can also represent a lot (at least in my mind idk) like someone having a strange fascination of you which is kinda sweet???

anyway, the background of the painting is the flat canvas but i want the middle UFO and cow to be 3D. it would have a flat back, probably cardboard, that i could adhere to the canvas probably with a staple or nail glue.

i have an idea for the metal part and light and cow and whatnot, but i need help with the clear-ish green part with the alien in it.
where on earth can i find a clear, small, cuttable, half of an orb?? im probably not describing it right but i’m in distress.
this is due in 2 weeks (probably less now idk) and i have ANOTHER 2 PIECES TO DO that i have barely started.
i am so cooked HELP ME PLEASE 🙏🫰❤️‍🩹

I’ve been working on this toy box for 7 months and will be finishing the 120th (and final) picture tomorrow. The problem is that I can’t figure out how to seal it so that the pen won’t smear when coming in contact with wet fingers. (Why are toddler fingers always wet?) I made a test board and sprayed 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 coats of the Crystal Clear Krylon spray paint on each section before finishing with brushed on polyurethane. As you can see, even the section with 6 coats of the spray smeared with the poly. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions? I will be sick if I try to finish the toy box and it smears. TIA

i’m still fairly new to this hobby and used a reference but i like the way it turned out :)

Hi folks! As the title states! It’s iron and I need to cut it but cannot for the life of me figure out what I need. Any and all help appreciated 🩷

Meet Romeo!

This is a custom needle-felted framed portrait, featuring one of his birthday photos.

His human says he’s cute most of the time, so the eyes were subtly adjusted to bring out his natural sweetness and playful spirit.

It’s more than just a decoration—it’s a little piece of love frozen in time, capturing a special moment that belongs only to him and his human.
