r/crafting

Hi! I’m a big fan of “the Ritual” and the monster from it “Moder”. I’m also into collecting the seasonal birds from target. So I decided to make a Moder target bird!
I thought it turned out pretty great so I thought I’d share:)

I was opening up some mail from my insurance company and credit card company and realized that the inside lining of their envelopes for when they send sensitive documents have really cool patterns!!

This one was such a fun face to recreate. I started by slowly building the shape with layers of wool, then worked on the black and white markings and added the longer fibers little by little to get that fluffy, slightly messy look.
The eyes are hand-painted first and finished with clear resin to give them more depth and shine. I sculpted the nose and those tiny little teeth from clay.

I have made this lamps in the shape of humpback whales using the clay casting technique, attaching details, carvings and clay drops. Also I used the spray gun glazing technique to make the smooth gradients. Also I fired them in electrical kiln on 950 and 1050 degrees. The finishing is the warm led light inside.

does not need to be extremely practical as this is for a one day film shoot. i'm thinking getting a normal plain floor lamp, foam thorns (skipping the leaves), spray paint this dark green-

i'm just worried about the rose part- if i do foam i feel like the light might not come through all the way... i can only assume shaping fabric petals using mod podge but i'd love other thoughts

I know the pattern on this has a technique to it i just forgot its name :(

My aunt got this beautiful butterfly at a craft show type of deal. My first thought was tying a string to it and hang it from my rear view mirror. Or gluing it onto a big hair clip. It’s just so beautiful this picture doesn’t do it justice. I don’t want to screw it up. It’s very sturdy it almost feels like its made out of metal. This is not flimsy in the least bit. It has some weight to it. But what do yall think? This is your forte not mine lol I love all things girly by the way.

Also it’s about the size of my palm.

There are about 420 flowers on this tree; I bought about 100 foam flowers and the rest I made from crepe paper

Any advice or criticism on what I could do better next time is appropriated. I'm not very crafty so I'm pretty proud of it. I used fabric squares and hot glue. And watched countless tutorials. Until I was sick of them.
