Finally finished this fairy garden for a coworker. Been working on it for 2 years 😔 I had a bit of Crafters block and procrastination thrown in. I used a wax warmer from the dollar tree and a Terra Cotta plant dish to make a tree. Covered it in foil to make branched. Then in air dry clay. Sprayed it all black and painted brown. Made a little water feature with resin. And a ladder for the upper deck. It was another colleague that requested I make it and provided all the figures. #fairygarden #craftyblackgirl #craftersblock #makingitwork #dollartree (at Dallas, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1fLKjAh3TE/?igshid=dzzff2wnreid

Embroidery a colorful aesthetic

So, over the past 4 days, I’ve been working on a semi-VTG (2007) Vogue Accessories Glove Pattern. This truly was a feat in itself.. I took a day to cut the fabric, a day to sew each glove, and put my machine in slow-mode to ensure I was catching every turn and nook and cranny.. honestly, to date, this was the most tedious thing I’ve made. I grateful that they even LOOK like gloves and I can slide my fingers in them, on the first try, lol. In short, accessories are not for the impatient. Also, I’m super proud of my ruching technique.
