I Make Things!

These are the things I have made!

A birthday present for a friend that likes king gizzard and the Lizard wizards.

The clay was really hard at first but after some time it was easy. I wish I had gotten my finger prints smoothed out but I got tired.

Made my angel a new raincoat. Took apart her old one and reconstructed it with new fabric. I had to add a piece down the back unfortunately because it was too small. It’s super waterproof and the baby is dry.

Made my friend this bag. I had a lot of fun experimenting with all the embroidery stitches on my machine and the gradient threads. I lined it with a map fabric because they love maps and geography. I think I would have liked to have a better way to close the bag but I wasn’t feeling particularly creative. It feels very hobbit inspired, a perfect place to keep nicknacks and maybe a sketchbook.

Two lentil necklaces. This is probably the best gift I’ve ever given/made. Actually nice necklace with real lentil pendants/charms that I made by gluing lentils onto little cubes. I coated the charms in clear nail polish. A Christmas gift for my friend who loves lentils, very happy with it because it’s a quite subtle, actually cute necklace that just so happens to be made of lentils.

Shaggy mane mushroom patch in nonbinary flag colours. This is the first patch that I made and I’m very happy with how it turned out, I’m really proud of how I did the drips!

Made this beaded puffin patch for a friends birthday. It’s not my best work at all. The bead holes are too small for even my slimiest needle so that made it a little frustrating. I did get to try finishing this patch differently than normal. I put fabric glue on the back and glued it to another piece of canvas to seal all the threads and edges to avoid fraying.(10/10) but the patch itself isn’t very attractive.
