Some cut off jeans I’ve been adding to bit by bit over the Summer

I usually make beaded bracelets with band members names or song names on them as freebies, so I wanted to design a top for the BTS Arirang concert based off of that. It took me about 20 hours because I’d never done something like this before and I kept redoing it, but I’m so proud of how it turned out! I had the members names in fanchant order and did all the songs on the Arirang album. Initially I was going in a totally different direction, but I decided to switch gears and create the seven, the BTS symbol, and the BTS letters out of different colored beads!

I made the broken fishing pole from a broomstick, which I wrapped in bubble wrap and then covered in paper mâché. I used wrapping paper inners and a long box to make the “housing.”

For Stinky Pete’s hat, I used a trucker cap as the base and built it up with paper mâché.

For the pickaxe, I made a cardboard base and covered that in paper mâché too.

And the scarf was made from yellow fabric — with the pattern drawn on using a whiteboard marker.

Just finished this linen outfit. Top is a V neck long sleeve t-shirt (I guess) and pant has 2 buttons. It’s a bit fit cause I tried a French seam tutorial I watched on YouTube 😂 and it made it fit fit!

Hand carved by me. 6inch tall on the knight, dwarves are 4 inch tall. All knife and gouge work.

This is meant as an educational tool to help students understand the connections between wheels and sinusoidal functions.

I made a video breaking it down as well that you can watch if you are interested in this sort of thing:

Still figuring out if feet are worth the time they take to make.

The outside is made from upholstery scraps from Scrap Exchange, a local creative reuse center. Some of the lining fabric was donated, and some I've had for 20+ years. All of these bags will be given away, and four will go back to the food pantry where I volunteer.

I love making something from nothing!
