The tiniest, fiddliest art nouveau orchid on the tiniest jewelry box that will contain the tiniest five wedding rings for tiny ghost Constance's tiny dead husbands.

13-hour clock progress shot -- made of paper and cardstock, although the pendulum will hopefully be metal if I don't screw up the soldering job, and I'm also aiming to cap the clockface with glow-in-the-dark resin once it's placed. Plus all the painting/aging/etc. But I'm still already pretty dang proud.

Honestly, I think my favorite part of Making It is the gag where they pretend at the very end like all of the eliminated contestants just move into the beautiful countryside home with Nick and Amy and eventually the whole show will live together in a happy puppy-pile of supportiveness and friendship. Because like THAT IS ALL ANYONE EVER WANTS FOR THE CONTESTANTS OF GBBO, and it’s really obvious that Amy Poehler was like “It breaks my HEART that the GBBO cast don’t get to live in the tent with Mel and Sue and Mary Berry and each other for the rest of their lives, so WE’RE GONNA LET PEOPLE PRETEND WE’RE DOING THAT FOR THESE MAKERS.” Nice Pretends are nice.

“Making It” is filling the GBBO-shaped hole in my life it’s so tender and wonderful and inspiring T__T

My first attempt at a 3D Pokemon Card. I actually enjoyed creating this, so I will definitely be creating more in future. Definitely with better crafting materials too.

I got quite a lot of hot glue on my fingers and all I could think was, "Man, Donnie is a WEENIE."
