After the 2023 SAG-AFTRA/AMPTP strike ended, I reused my strike t-shirts to cover and protect the messy reverse side of an embroidery project I showed off in an earlier post.

Annnnd 1.5 kg! not bad at all! Especially since I chopped off a lot of the leaves

Anyways that so much so gonna freeze most of it I think. Probs last us the rest of the year

Sometimes I get back looking like I robbed someone poor dudes garden lol

Don’t worry tho no garden robbing occurred, just the awful wastefulness and mismanagement of ressources of our society

PROBABLY NO ONE CARES ABOUT MY LITTLE BEE FRIEND BUT, HERE HE IS

A work in progress. That's after like 2 hours?? Ish. Of working on him.

[the-chaos-crows-victory]

Found this little bunny in a bin, and just got attached to this raggedy little thing. I haven’t had a stuffed toy in years but I like him so, mine now

I think I’ll give him button eyes and make him a little battle jacket

Made for a friend in exchange for a little tattoo

Question where do you recommend finding small and various trinkets

Seeing as you’re the maybe the 4th or 5th person to ask me this type of question, I’ve decided to pin my reply. It’s a bit long but I hope it helps :3

Feel free to ask any other or follow up questions if you have them

Little bit of spider embroidery

This was from a while ago ago but still very proud of it

This was actually my first ever bleach work, it went surprisingly well. It took me basically a whole day to do

Guess I’ll repost this real quick bc someone else asked me the same thing

any tips on making/collecting the little trinkets you attach to all your stuff? they're so fascinating to me & I'm wondering how one gains an eye for it

Idk about tips exactly but I’ll tell how I got my stuff

A lot of my beads and buttons have been laying around for years but I also browse charity and thrift shops, I’ve gotten a few jars of assorted buttons and random things for a couple €, ask around if anyone you know has broken or unwanted jewellery. Eyes on the floor! Shiny metals, bottle caps, lost earrings, empty lighters, literally anything that catches my eye. If you’re lucky you can find lots of cool stuff completely free (maybe check bins from craft shops and others) or for cheap if you can find a good thrift.

Car boot sales, attic sales and other ways people sell random stuff has a fairly good chance of some nice stuff and if you’re incredibly lucky maybe even a whole box of cool shiny junk.

For my thicker chains and the like hardware shops are a good one, handbags, shoes and belts will also sometimes have some nice parts. At the thrift I go there’s always a box of belts, I like to dig to the bottom and collect any broken stuff and belts made mostly of metal or leather (funky colours as well) bag straps that have clasps are nice too

Don’t be afraid to take something apart if you have a use or idea for it’s parts (try to make sure its something you won’t miss tho lol) a screw driver, pliers and a little metal saw goes a long way in way getting gears and little bits of metal (I once took apart a fishing rod reel, cool find with ball bearings and gears)

For more a diy aspect, bottle caps, safety pins, a steady hand and some nail polish (or just sharpie, but getting white or light coloured polish helps it stand out) can go a long way. Buttons as well can be painted. Also organic stuff like wood, bones, pebbles etc looks cool

Don’t forget fabric and embroidery! It takes longer and a bit of practice to get going but it really adds to a lot.

Bracelets, necklaces, pendents, bike parts, gears, earrings, coins, hell even fake nails and other things I can’t think of can be used in weird and interesting ways that might not be obvious, so mess around and experiment

Hmmm….. that’s all I got, otherwise… check Pinterest or some diy tags here for inspiration, while most of my designs are original it’s allllll inspired by cool things other people have done

Think like a crow

Thanks! I thrifted them!

your teeth are very pretty
