Rainbow Hoop Earings
- 5/29/23
Just some earings I had made with wire, chain, and beads. I made one end of the wire hoop form a small loop and the other end bent so that it could close. Unfortunately this makes it difficult to put into my ear, but it the simplest way to secure it. The goldish sead beads along the wire are used to space out the chains so that the rainbow beads would dangle in a line rather than clumping together.
Sun Catchers
my mom and i discovered we could pour resin over a holographic window cling, and the resin would pick up the texture (diffraction gradient), making it halographic as well (without damaging the film either)! we found some silicon molds to shape the resin with and poured a few ^^ I then assembled some sun catchers from them and random jewerly bits i had lying around :3
these were made with very little planning, just making bits and aranging them on the fly ^^
a few beads i did specifically buy for this, where as most are scraps ive had for years
i orginally made one heart themed dangle, but my best frienjamin renjamin wanted it, so i made a matching pair :3
Stuffed Frogs
These frogs were made using tumblr user boigameista's pattern!
i first stitched the sides together along the back arch. i then stitched the bottom to the sides, before turing it right side out and stuffing it ^^
Bajoran Earrings
earrings i made from buttons and jewelry scraps, inspired by the ones worn by bajorans in star trek!
me wearing one:
my references :3
common traits are: a large circular base, often with a stone in the middle, a dangle, and a cuff (cuffs arent pictured in my earrings, as i did not make it and i use the same one for each earring)
to make these i glued two buttons together, painted them black, spray painted them with a chrome/mirror silver paint, and attached assorted jewerly scraps for the dangles and middle gems
here are the buttons glued together, ready to be spray painted
if you want buttons with cool textures/designs like these, look for jars of buttons at antique stores ^^
Paper Stars
i began learning origami when i was 8! i don't make much origami now days, aside from these little stars. you start off with a long strip of paper, tie it in a knot, wrap the strip around it, and puff it up! here is a video tutorial
the strip is typically 1/2 inch or 1-2 cm wide and aprox 11 inches long, but i like to make mine extra small at 4 mm wide (and about 4 inches long). this just happens to the the prefect size to fit into my old testosterone vials!
i wanted to make ace and aro flag vials, but i dont have any grey paper :(
Goth Choker
A choker i made entirely from scraps ^^
Sculpey Characters
2017 - i made this mushroom lady in highschool for an art project where we worked with sculpey. sculpey is a nice material because you can bake it in a regular home oven ^^
her face looks a little weird; my intention was that her lips were supposed to look like the ruffled underside of some mushrooms, and her nose like a sliced mushroom used in food, but im not sure if that is obvious
2018 - for my final project that same school year i made another sculpture, this time of my character Mark. I made him sitting so i could easily place him on a shelf ^^
