I got me a new sketchbook and something that makes it unique compared to every other one I've ever had this one is a hard back

Here is how it looks so far (not yet fully finished)

I’ve been patiently waiting for a nice second-hand wood dresser to appear on fb marketplace or at Goodwill for months. Finally, I grabbed this one yesterday for $50.

My inspiration for this project are some dressers I saw at Anthropology that have gorgeous carved details. But I want my dresser to cost $200 or less rather than $2,000.

Of course I can’t add actual hand-carved wood, but I’ve got clay and some silicon molds + epoxy and a potential overconfidence in my DIY abilities.

First up, I removed the existing hardware and sanded this pretty lady down. She is now looking MUCH better without all those terrible stains (and the drawer pulls weren’t doing it for her, tbh).

Up next, I’ll give her a paint wash or three and start trying my hand at faking some carvings!

Here’s a quick and comprehensive video of how I made paper 📝

yo dudes so i'm currently making a tma book for my friend!

it's basically the tma wiki but in book form :)

(highly inspired by what pricklypearviking on reddit did just much less cool)

current status: i run out of printer toner and im in pain so decided to share this to pass the time

Let go of the idea that diy will inherently look shit. All your clothes are handmade you just don't see the people doing it.

Hello Tumblr oomfs do you guys like the crochet clown I made

I only started crocheting 3 months ago so if you see any mistakes no you did not…I am not a pro at all

New patch :)

Almost ran out of floss while sewing it but I think it turned out well

I take back what I said earlier: I would absolutely sell my craft creations, and by "sell" I mean "trade for something I equally value". Do you like my punk rock giraffe stuffie? You can have one for $81... or a bag full of coreopsis seeds. A knit fringe lumberjack hat? Thats $195... or a jar of local honey. Ill sew new clothes for all of your kid's dolls, usually $300+ in labor and material, but Id rather they draw me a really cool picture that I can hang on my fridge.

I crocheted a baby Bill to quench my hyperfixation and discovered maternal love instead!

I have decided to paint my boring wall. Now it has a Mizutsune.

I'm making new pants right now and I desperately need everyone in the world to see my new pocket

[ Image Description: Close up of black jean pocket sewn onto black jeans and secured with silver safety pins. Two match strike pads are glued onto the outer flap of the pocket and secured with additional silver safety pins. Pocket has a button with a black inner piece and golden edge

Video Description: OP opens pocket and takes out a match. OP then lets pocket fall shut and lights a match on the top strike pad, it takes two attempts to light. The camera begins to zoom out and the match is extinguished by quickly flicking it out. End ID. ]
