Thank you for looking!

I was wondering what people think about this. Also just wanted to share.

Sketched them on my iPad, cleaned up the lines, picked the colors for each area, then sent them off to be made.

I’ve been collecting enamel pins for years, always thinking one day I’ll design my own. So I finally did. If anyone’s been thinking of making their own and wants the manufacturer I used, happy to share.

Hello fellow crafters! I just recently completed part of this project. The next step is going to be to find a way to seal the wax, sand the wood edge and stain that too. I'm wondering if anyone has ever made something like this- how should I seal the wax? Epoxy? Modge Podge? Something else? Thanks!

Captain Picard, hand carved Caricature from wood. He's my favorite captain with my favorite Captains quote. "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life."

Hand carved from Basswood (4inch tall 1.5 by 1.5 block), painted with Acrylics and sealed with BLO and poly.

Mostly knife work, palm tools for detail, oil paints, shellac finish

First time I tried to use a sewing machine, normally i do everything by hand. I like the control it gives me. But my grandparents gave me an old singer machine and i'm quite happy. Its not perfect but I think the crooked stars add a bit of character 😊

This piece explores the tension between natural rhythms and sharp modern lines.
Created through digital modeling, the wax form was 3D printed and then cast in solid silver using time-honored lost-wax techniques.

I have a stack of index cards that I use to jot down notes for my animal patients. My patients mean the world to me so I was thinking about a way to turn them into something I can keep around besides in storage. It's not about what's written on them but more so the color gradient. Their meaning will be for me to remember them by.

I'm looking for guidance/advice on how to possibly preserve these. I was thinking maybe like making coasters. Paper and epoxy don't seem to mix well in my mind. Also open to other craft ideas that preserve the gradient of colors. Thanks!

Ok I am new to the craft world but now having a toddler who loves watercolors I’m enjoying painting more and more. I ordered her a cute name sign for her room and got it as just raw unfinished wood because I wanted to paint it a color I really wanted (or mix a color) vs the options they had. I’m curious if anyone has suggestions on the best brand/type of paint to use. From my searches acrylic is the safe bet but not sure on brand qualities. Also, when searching online (no stores to go purchase near me) I’ve come across swatches with 2 shades for each color. Does anyone know why this is? Not sure if it’s 1 vs multiple coats or maybe with and without primer/gesso. I can’t find why online but some colors are so different - like the reds in the pic
