Auntie Maim's Alternative Crafting

A collection of my own crafts, craft tutorials I find on line as well as interesting alt crafts I post along with suggestions to make them easier or ways to alter them a bit I've moved posts from my old blog

Jewelry holders

I received this broken phoenix necklace (got a refund) and decided to repair it.

I wasn't going to buy a replacement since it has a very fragile design and will likely break again.

So I decided to repair/alter it to make it wearable.

I glued 2 different lotus pendants to the back while also reattaching the broken wing.

Same! I'm also the weird cousin, the weird niece, I'm a lot of people's weird friend.

I love using "by the way" as a segue into topics that are completely unrelated to the matters at hand. it isn't remotely by the way, quite a ways out of the way in fact. a little adventure

[alternativecrafting]

Or saying Oh speaking about that

[bogleech]

I reject all incarnations of the addams family written like spooky goths who hate normies. The joke is that they're warm and welcoming and they don't even know that they're weird. Still might maim you though because they also think everyone else is into hardcore sadomasochism.

[alternativecrafting]

The only reason that Wednesday works is because Wednesday doesn't like anyone, or she doesn't want to like anyone, she doesn't like normies she doesn't like freaks she's very annoyed at people in general

The rest of her family is just like hey we're who we are isn't it great that we love each other.... And there's Wednesday over in the corner going yeah could you not talk to me

Yikes. Stupid Facebook witch group post about frozen moon water has broken containment.

I've been studying magic for just shy of 20 years and there's some chaos craft in there. It is fucking annoying to find people taking that shit too seriously. It makes me feel itchy.

[alternativecrafting]

Exactly

I made the point that "Magic is BELIEF"

Do you believe it's stronger or weaker? Then it is

Sort of like when a Goth or Punk asks "Am I doing this right?"

Baby bat if you are doing it without hurting anyone you're doing it right

[redstonedust]

a good way to inspire yourself to do more is to see yourself as the wacky sitcom B plot character in your friends lives, "wouldnt it be funny to tell the friends in my phone about it." has gotten me to do anything from going to a festival (excelent) to wild camping (it went badly) (coastguard called) to trying to get the train to stonehenge (stonehenge costs money so i ended up just getting lunch in sailsbury, it was okay.) i bought a bicycle today and 20% of my reasoning was "itd be funny to surprise my roommate by coming home with a whole bike." . life is for living. and baby i live for the bit.

No, I am not 'hoarding craft supplies.' I am sourcing materials for a very big project that will be revealed to me at a later date- perhaps in a dream.

[remindingpersephone]

Yes, this is what I will tell everyone from now on, if I can find my way out of this giant pile of washi tape and acrylic stamps.

Stray cats 🐈

[alternativecrafting]

Stray cats are almost a fucking trigger with me it breaks my fucking heart and I wish I had so much more money and energy to try to make a difference

It sounds funny but I have a cat shelter that I donate to every month sometimes multiple times a month and it's in South Africa and I'm in Idaho in the US Literally pretty much completely across the world. But my relatively small amount of money to make a difference there for this lady I've known for 5 years who out in the middle of damn near nowhere takes care of 100 plus cats on her own most of the time she hires one worker about 4 hours a day 5 days a week when she can get him to show up and she lives in a house that is full of cats and clean I might add and she puts every minute and every time to them and I wish I was better and I wish I could do it but there's days I can't get out of bed

If you cannot physically be the one out there rescuing then help someone else do it

Local Facebook witch group report: someone wants to put out water to make moon water but is concerned it will freeze and wants reassurance that frozen moon water is just as good as non frozen moon water.

[rosecoloredtarot]

depends on when the freezing happens. If it freezes while the moon is shining on it, the ice traps the moonbeams inside, empowering it more. If it is frozen before the moon hits it, the ice prevents the moonbeams from penetrating at all

[upthewitchypunx]

[upthewitchypunx]

How dare you hide this in the tags!?

What are people even using this moon water for? A solid block of moon ice melting in a warm bath seem like a thing you could use. Or you could make a bunch of them and stack them up in a sculpture?

[alternativecrafting]

Magic is belief

Let's be honest if you BELIEVE that it is weaker when it freezes it is

[alternativecrafting]

This is me deciding I had to cut out all (non Tumblr) social media and most of the news for a while

I believe we need to know and fight against corruption but as a disabled person struggling to get through each day and physically unable to do the basic level of needed things for my day to day survival by myself I had to accept that all I was doing was punishing myself and hurting myself

For me it is better to live my life the best I can, take care of my needs and then donate to the people who physically and mentally can make a difference instead of struggling with deep seated rage, fury and depression daily that hinders my ability to just live

Better to fight back with cash (donations and boycotts) while protecting myself as I need

there are still many punks learning what "punk is not an aesthetic, it's a subculture" means punk has always been about non conformity and

You can literally change the word Punk for Goth and it fits
