Yesterday’s resin projects are also now completed and up for sale. These are actual tiny flowers and leaves that I’ve embedded in resin. The molds were made from positives I sculpted out of plastic clay to give them each a unique shape and an organic feel.

Just makin’ a hat. I’m using a bigger hook this time and I’m going to put a bill and some buttons on it to see how that looks. :)

 And yes, I also made the basket. I wove it out of pages from an Oriental Trading catalog around Halloween. This one is mine but I have two more like it for sale in my Etsy shop-

https://www.etsy.com/shop/PatchworkLaboratoryI would really like it if Tumblr could show some love for my web shop today. I just paid my dues and there’s nothing in my pocketbook except a very relaxed moth. Etsy just hasn’t been treating me right and my traffic is way down now that they’re focusing on more curated site searches. Even if you don’t want anything, reblogging would be helpful too. 
 I sell a wide variety of handmade art and crafts all done by me. 
 Naughty catboy dolls and one dirty fairy, 30 flavors of tallow caffeine soap, small quilts, painted art objects, hand-bound copies of the eight books I’ve written, blank journals, crocheted plushies, stuffed cats-  zombie and kawaii, jewelry made out of toys, cloth rose barrettes, pixel art boxes and wearables, scarves, fingerless gloves, unusual quill pens, tree ornaments, paper beads, handmade tags and envelopes, business card holders, scrabble tile pendants, zombie silhouettes, shaving mugs, my original line of plush monsters, cloth covered buttons, baskets woven out of books, cloth slap bracelets, crochet beanbags in neon, multi-color and eyeball designs, fridge magnets, paintings on stones, cosplay weapons, disturbing door-hangers, zombie dolls, resin charms, chopsticks with cloth traveling cases, rugs, stash bag necklaces, pincushions, cloth wrapped bangles and a chalkboard shaped like a gun. I even have some vintage children’s books from my childhood collection.
If nothing else, thank you for reading this far. I appreciate it.

Both of the pixel watches I made sold already! So I got busy and made some more- https://www.etsy.com/listing/127461746/crochet-bracelet-pixel-art-8bit-retro?ref=shop_home_active
 I think this is going to be one of those items where I change the colors and the pattern of reflections every time I make one. So if you see one you’re in love with, better get it before it’s gone! :)

These are the ones I’m really proud of though. It’s really not apparent from the pictures how much work went into them. The bases were actually curls of plastic cut from a 2liter soda bottle and built up with white cotton, paper, glue and gesso before being wrapped with the final stretch lycra prints. 
 So who knows if I’ll be making more any time soon. If you’re in love, better buy them before someone else beats you too it. :)

Been in the mood to make bracelets for the last day or so. These were both made with play-set replacement tokens for something called Imaginext T-Rex mountain. I just found them on Ebay and thought they’d made cool hipster jewelry. :)

I decided to make a few of my gaming dice into jewelry, and they’re now for sale in my Etsy shop-

Green D20 & D8-

Blue and purple swirl D6’s -

https://www.etsy.com/listing/110016432/dice-earrings-blue-and-purple-pearl?


All the opaque colored dice are actually old enough to qualify as vintage by Etsy’s standards. [20 years or older]. And I found out that dice aren’t even made in the same way anymore. These were cast in molds and painted, modern dice are usually laser etched.

 The swirl dice are not so old, I just thought they’d make nice earrings. :)
