Hi!
Some people. Some people are crazy good at art and sculptures and stuff. Even with chocolate.
For example, there’s a fantastic sculpture of a boat… and a kraken.
Enjoy!

Hi!
I recently found out that there are patterns for shoulder dragons. And simplicity has one.
I kinda now really wish I had access to a bit more time, space, and other resources…
Aren’t they adorable?

Hi!
Somebody 3D printed a Gandalf the White prop staff, and constructed it. And it’s collapsible.
The entire thing is pretty cool, and worth checking out.
Enjoy!

Hi!
I made a thing!
So. Background. A favorite author of mine, Brandon Sanderson, has a book with a marvelous one-scene “character”. It is a stick. Who is very adamant about being a stick. (Its only line is “I am a stick.”)
Other background. I recently discovered Tunisian/Afghan crochet, which makes it easier to incorporate designs in the stitching.
So, I made a fan art thingy.
It was fun.
(No, I’m not entirely sure what I’m going to do with it yet. But I’m sure there will be something!)
So, yup!
I AM A STICK.

Hi!
I started learning a new style of craft project thingy!
It’s called Tunisian, or Afghan, crochet. It’s basically a cross between knitting and crocheting. And basically? It’s really fun.
I’m still learning, so I haven’t done anything with nice yarn, or a real project or anything. But yep!
Fun with Afghan/Tunisian Crochet!
How about you? How are you spending your Saturday?

Hi!
So somebody wrote about somebody else who the first somebody claims DIY’d their own wedding dress.
Personally, I refer to that as “made your own”, rather than “DIY”. But, you know. Semantics.
Regardless, the writing somebody wrote an article (with pictures!) about the sewing somebody’s wedding-dress process. And the pictures are pretty. So, enjoy!

Hi!
So. Somebody on Facebook shared a link to a fun social crafting idea. It’s a “Knit Your Own Adventure” thing.
It looks like it combines RPG-ness with knitting. And I’m not really describing it well. But you should check out the article on it. It looks cool!
Anyway. Happy Tuesday!

Hi!
So, I recently found out about a fun new “New Year’s Resolution”(ish) craze– it’s called a “Temperature Blanket.”
Basically, for every day of the year, you crochet (or knit) 1/365th of an afghan per day. (Basically, crochet somewhere between 1 and three rows. Possibly knit 1-3 rows instead, too, but you might need to do more for the knit version. I have a tendency to think of knit rows as being shorter than crochet.) Now the fun part? The color you use corresponds to the day’s temperature. Some people choose high, some low, some both. But the effects can be pretty.
And, since we have data on temperatures and stuff for previous days, you don’t actually have to start it on the first of the year (or whatever month you’re starting.) And if you miss a day, you can catch up. All you need is the temperature information, and you can make it!
Lionbrand Yarn, someplace called “the Crochet Crowd” and various other blogs have yarn recommendations and instructions.
Happy crafting!

Hi!
So yesterday, (I have no clue why,) I randomly remembered a picture of sewing stuff that a friend did. And I was curious, and wanted to look it up. The technique is called “Smocking”. And it is gorgeous.
I ended up finding a YouTube tutorial, and now I really want to try it. Problem, of course, is that I have no time. And should really be going to bed, or being productive… So, yea. I’ll leave a tutorial video with you, though.
Have fun!

Hello!
Ok, so I encountered Internet Information about a type of craft I REEEEAAAALLLY want to try… As of right now, anyway. (If I’m feeling this way tomorrow, I may actually order the material.)
The material is easily moldable plastic. Like, “you pour the pellets into warm-to-hot water, let it sit, then mold it, and wait for it to cool” easy. Some of the things you can do with it are incredible, too!
One company has a monthly contest, and one of the winners was a Ninja Figurine. And it looks professional quality!
I realize I’m not going to be there for a looong time… but one of the best parts? The material is reusable. Don’t like the way something came out? Throw it back in the hot water, and it becomes re-formable.
Given that a starter amount is about $10 from Amazon, it is incredibly tempting… Again, I’ll see. But who knows- you might be seeing some plastic sculptures from me soon.
Have a lovely day!
