#bonka's crafting adventures

[bonkalore]

I know I haven't even posted/shared any art stuff in a while, but am trying to get back on that. I've been mostly trying out some doll making lately with armatures inside, so it's been a bit difficult working from the inside out lol... But it's something I've always wanted to try. Drawing/stories has not been going well again, so crafting it is again!

Anyway, I'm trying out Loona from Helluva Boss. Thought ahe had a good, simple enough design for me starting off with a furry character to attempt lol One day I'd love to be able to take commissioned dolls as well if I build enough confidence with my skills, but also want to make some to sell! (Not sure yet if I'll have her for sale or not)

Technically she's the 3rd I started... I had some other dolls in the works too but forgot to share. Maybe another post.

I posted on my instagram before, but not here yet! I have a bundle of handmade Jughead hat foam magnets! 

$13 each. Shipping/fees should be $2, but could cost more for out of the US.

DM me if interested!~

I wasn't aware that it was Aromantic Awareness Week, so what an opportune time to finally get this posted! :D I actually had it done a while ago but wanted to get the Valentine's stuff out of the way. Don't feel left out of the lovey-dovey time, my aros~

Go check it out on my etsy! https://www.etsy.com/listing/779703185/aromantic-mushroom-charm?ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1

More mushrooms on the shop!! 

Had these made a while ago actually but was going to try and have them displayed at a shop first in Denver. Things kept getting postponed so I just took them back for now for the holidays until he gets things figured out.

But yeh! If anyone wants one, now’s the time to order one!

Handmade Valentine’s Jewelry on my Etsy~

Just finally got these babies up! :D Was rushing to finish what I could in time for Valentine’s Day orders so it’s not too many, but I do plan on making more variations eventually. Things have just been super hectic lately...

Lemme know what you guys like and if you want other colors!~

[bonkalore]

I'm trying some Valentine's stuff as quick as I can to get on my shop fff Mostly testing out some things (the strawberry had leaves but they broke and I just took it off and will have to do something else...)

The bouquet was supposed to be heart shaped but it just kind of ended up its own thing, but that's ok fff They still turned out pretty nice at least! I'd like to try some others in the future with different colors n stuff~

Can go check out my etsy tho! https://www.etsy.com/shop/BonkaBaubles

I've been making some pastry themed charms now bc I want to get some displayed at a bakery super close to home that recently opened. I'm having a fun time figuring them out and trying new methods~ Some might end up on my shop eventually, but for now my focus is irl.

These aren't all quite finished, but I am very proud of the cherry pie fff Just did that last night. I also have some cinnamon roll earrings I did first but the icing didn't bake like planned and it looks different now than in the pic I took fff

A new assortment of findings-- er, jewelry! :D Things have been hectic at home atm, so updates have been slow, but I hope you all enjoy them and take the time to check them out!~ https://www.etsy.com/shop/BonkaBaubles

[bonkalore]

I finally got some pics of my blue-green elf cup mushroom (Chlorociboria aeruginascens) stud earrings and ring and a common oyster cluster ring. There's snow everywhere right now so I had to make do with the "nature" pics with what I had inside lol

Uploading soon on my etsy but there are still lots of others as well!

So I’ve been working on a little chomper plant for some halloween home décor~... Still need to do the leaves and stuff around it but thought I’d share a pic of the WIP. Tried fabric glue instead of hot glue for the drool to give it a shot since it dries clear and is flexible. Think it looks pretty cool (and is a bit easier and safer to control than hot glue ffff)

Will maybe do about 3 heads in a bunch for a pot. Will be excited to see them flourish~ 

[bonkalore]

Some findings I've had?? No! They're actually some earrings I've made based on some cool mushrooms!! :D

I've been making an assortment of different mushrooms, pokemon, and other things for the past while and have finally opened up a shop for them if anyone is interested in some charms/jewelry! It's still new so I'm still uploading... 

Can find it here! --> https://www.etsy.com/shop/BonkaBaubles

I'm also open to suggestions of your favorite shrooms for future projects (if I haven’t already started them anyway)!

A lot of the photo credits goes to Zuka’s sister! I mostly posed them for these specifically.

[bonkalore]

I had to make some extra stuff for my crafts on actual display at the shop in Denver. Kept being unsure what to do but rushing last minute sure makes decisions quicker fffff Does it look nice? ;u;

I wish I had gotten more pics of my stuff before giving them away but kept forgetting too.... Hoping this business partnership goes well!

[bonkalore]

I'm working on... some LADS..... (and yes, those are real screws lol)

[bonkalore]

Finally got my Spoink necklace posted for sale in my shop! :] Can get it for $27 + shipping!

[bonkalore]

Some more of the shrooms I've had in the works for my shop! A bit of a variety on the types of jewelry. The bolete and lion’s mane are necklace charms, while the others are earrings and a ring~ 

They still need a bit more of work on some of them before I have them for sale (mostly needing to seal with varnish), but hoping to get them up soon!

My shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/BonkaBaubles

Made puffball mushrooms! The spikes took a while but glad they turned out mostly like the real deal~ I might do some further touch-ups and need to varnish and add hooks of course, but anyone interested or have other suggestions? I'm so excited to try all different kinds of mushrooms but some I'm waiting on till I get my hands on the 3D pen heheh
