Here’s my entry. I went in a different direction and made a bracelet.

Beachcomber Bracelet - Take a Bite 2022 Challenge Entry

When I saw this challenge posted, I originally went in one direction, but time constraints made me reconsider. There was still a bit of memory wire in my bead supplies and more beads than I’ll ever use up. There was also a broken string of tiny shells that I hadn’t gotten around to repairing. I sorted through my beads to find gemstones, pearls, bits of shell, and glass…things that look like they could have been picked up by an ardent beachcomber or an enthusiastic corvid. It’s all pretty random…

Seashell and Flotsam Assemblage - Take a Bite 2022 Challenge Entry

I made this assemblage art canvas for the Take a Bite Out of Your Stash challenge I had a container of seashells that have been in the closet for years. And added in some random bits and treasures. Instead of my normal black I painted the whole thing in white. Added some texture with heavy gesso and then dry brushed with pink and teal paints and then went over the whole thing with iridescent medium. [image] I realized the first pics I uploaded were blurry so have uploaded more. [image] […

Welp Kelp, I failed! I flailed and recouperated a couple-few times, damaged some of the finished steps, and have decided to call it. Perhaps I will have another go at another time. Perhaps I will set it aflame while shrieking ancient curses into the sky.

I enjoy a good showing of Stitch & Botch!

We’ll see if I determine it can’t be saved!

Drinking Horn Holder Take a Bite 2022 Challenge Entry

So I decided to work on some items for ren faire early this year. And this was the only one I actually completed I ended up having some time off this past week and on Friday I started on this holder for my drinking horn. And I was able to use some faux suede I had along with some embroidery floss and regular thread. I used the horn and it’s original holder to take the measurements and then sorta just winged it. I realized after I had it like 90% together that the embroidery would be s…

And my own, totally bonkers project…

There's Always Room for Sharks! - Take a Bite 2022 Challenge Entry

[image] When I was working on the theme for our Take A Bite Out Of Your Stash Challenge, I spent some time looking around at various beach and shark themed craft projects. There’s a whole genre of projects specifically celebrating The Discovery Channel’s annual Shark Week. (Shark Week also celebrates it’s 34th birthday THIS WEEK!) One of the things I kept seeing were Jello desserts featuring gummy sharks. Since it’s been a long time since I’ve done a completely bonkers craft project, just …

Love seeing the entries! Alas, visitors & record-breaking heat wave & playing tour guide means I had no spare time this weekend. Next one! Congrats to everyone who submitted - but hey, huzzah to those who even just tried! Yay for trying!

[Abbeeroad (Abbie - she/her)]

Same. Weekend plans, wilting heat, and a silly head cold kept me from playing with everyone but I love all the entries!!! So fun! I hope there’s another one sometime.

Staying inside in the AC -Take a Bite 2022 Challenge Entry

@gozer gave me a miniature room box kit for Christmas a couple years ago. I’ve worked on it quite a lot fairly recently. Today I finished up a piece I started last week. I had previously made the table, hat boxes and vase of flowers. For this piece I felt like some stash items I had would make me happier than the things the kit would have had me putting on top of the table. [image] I added the lace on top, the paperback novel, and the plate of treats. I felt like this was more like ME than th…

Good catch my friend. I was just about to nudge you on your post.

[thanate (Ann needs more tea)]

Worked with stash all weekend, but it was mostly making boring pants for my Child & I never managed to take pictures. Oops.

[MistressJennie (Moderator - Jennie - she/her)]

Thank you to everyone who joined in and busted some stash this weekend! I’m so glad to see so many people entering the challenge, and most of all, having fun here on LC. Voting is now open! Just scroll up to the bottom of the first post in this thread!!!

[photojenn (Jenn)]

So hard to choose! So I went with the one where my first thought was “wow, you whipped that up in a weekend?!”

[Immaculata]

I voted! It was indeed a difficult choice but in the end I went with the craft that made me smile the most. But all entries were great.

[marionberries (Carol - formerly cmarion3)]

It was hard, such fun bits and bobs to choose from. But I closed my eyes and voted (not really, I aimed for a button first!)
