anybody else sick of the grind? sick of the “oooh ive found something im good at!!! now how can i monetize it?”
#✨america✨#i enjoy making jewelry but now im so burnt out bc of craft fairs#i might only do one this year#cuz like#ive been wireworking for almost 4 years#and since i first started as soon as i started getting good you wanna know what i kept hearing??#‘OMG thats so good!!! you could sell that!!!!!#thus creating the ✨grind mindset✨#and burning me out#and making the process go from#‘what do i want to make?’ to ‘what do people want to buy?’#sick of having my value based off of how monetarily applicable my skills and hobbies are 🫠#another case:#as soon as i started gaining a following on tiktok in like 2020#(i made flowart poi spinning videos and got up to like 12k)#i got excited and told my parents when i hit 10k!!!#and both of them went ‘how can you start using your following to make money???’#i lost interest soon after for a variety of reasons#but a main contributor was ‘this isnt making money like i hoped it would’

now this isnt what i normally post but i just finished a project i have been working on for about 8 months on and off and im realy proud of myself!!! it took roughly 30-35 hours of work, and its one of my favorite dragons ive ever made! i usually make them much smaller than this, and they usually only take me 2-4 hours to make for refrence. now i havent taken super great pictures of it yet, but i just wanted to show off my Ranboo dragon sculpture!!!!!
i’ll probably rb later with better pictures but these are just the pics i took when i finished at midnight.
im just so proud of this!! ive been wireworking for about two years, and making dragons since may of last year. i taught myself almost everything i know through trial and error, as well as picking up some tricks from tiktok and youtube. its all jewelry wire and beads, including obsidian, carnelian, adventurine, howlite, bassalt, tourmaline, and assorted glass and plastic beads as well. in full honesty it took me ages to figure out how to get the shape of the legs right lol.
im hoping some day i can go to a con to gift it to ranboo or something :)
also thinking of making some other content creator inspired peices sometime maybe!!!
#ranboo#ranboo fanart#dragons#dragon#sculpture#art#wirework#beadwork#you have no clue how many times i fucking stabbed my fingers making this holy shit#wireworking is painful because if you have a sharp end by accident it csn stab you#i have so many holes in my thumbs#if people are interested i do actually sell dragons although i sell much more simple ones
