The birds are so cute! I would use them as xmas ornaments. What is around the cirlces of the necklace?
I connected the mosaic tiles by crocheting around each one (tiny stitches using crochet thread) and then joining them with jump rings.
Oh, tricky one! I don’t think I can pick just one.
Old book pages are fun to use in papercraft. I love driftwood, but it’s been a while since I had some to craft with. Dismembering old toys and stuffies to create something new is also fun/challenging.
They’re all very cool but I especially love Pepe!
Finally! I have (too many) ideas and I’ve gathered various supplies and poked around in thrift stores without really finding ”it”. Today I picked something up to put in the recycling bin and realised it could be my starting point! ![]()
My favorite things are “found” items- random little bits that don’t really look like anything in particular but that somehow with a little tweaking become something unexpected. This seems to happen most when I’m making miniatures.
Making great progress on my first item! So far I’m pretty pleased with how things are going!
Some progress made. Not my neatest work, but this part will not show when it’s finished.
I finished the more labor- intensive of my projects. Loving it! It’s trashtastic! ![]()
I’ve been fixated on my making the swap for Crafts In Motion, so I’m running a little behind on this one. Ideas have been percolating though!
I’ve been swamped with work.![]()
Missed the check-in.
I like to recycle/upcycle almost everything that I can get my hands on ![]()
I try to make things that are useful not just for the sake of making something but sometimes stuff happens and I make something that I have no use for.
This Labor Day weekend was super busy for me, so I wasn’t able to do much progress on my crafting. I’m hoping to be able to do more this week.
For this week’s check-in question, where is your favorite place to go thrifting? I love the Goodwill bins! For those who doesn’t know how it works, they charge you by the pound ($1.89 at my local bins). I’ve been able to find some great deals. Garage and Estate sales are a close second.
For craft supplies, I like to go to the Scrap Exchange - a local re-use center that has all kinds of stuff for sale. They also have a regular thrift store in a separate building, but I haven’t had time to visit it.
