I went to a meeting that went good, then had lunch out and then went thrift shopping.

I brought two bags of broken jewellery for like £6. Most of it was random beads and broken necklaces etc.

But I used to make earrings and oh my gawd do I wanna get back into that rn.

Here's one I just did.

I found a bunch of small magnetic ones that I think are hematite (natural rocks that are magnetic) unless I'm confused

2/2 Closeup of the flower headpiece (that was a dollar bins dress). The necklace I started beading the afternoon of the event and didn’t have time to finish so I crocheted a chain for the rest.

But that made it visibly match the waist piece! (also crocheted and including some of the same seed beads above half of the tassels)

Oh and I should add that the top also started as a dollar bin piece that already had the elastic/gathering at the top. It was clearly handmade. Fun to finish! #crafty

Well now that the #sewing machine has a place to be always set up… and since my body very much remembers the thousands of hours sewing as a child…

Time to hem almost every tee shirt I own & go check out the thrift store dollar bins for fabric & pieces to experiment on 🤩

Oh and here’s what got me started again: “monochromatic fanciful dress” costume for Greedy Peasant’s Pride Eve event in NYC last weekend. I made everything except the base skirt. Headpiece was a dress

There May all done😊
The nights have been colder than normal for this time of the year. Hopefully June will change that😊

Triangles, with a side of impending doom.

A high-contrast black and white image of a slanted black surface portraying a hillside, with smaller black triangles clustered together like a forest or city buildings. Additional black poster-board triangles have been folded partially and stood up, and a harsh spotlight makes them cast a long shadow, making them look like meteors with a long trailing shadow.

I made tea light candles so I’m gonna be working on candle stuff as well

👀 🪡🧵Early 20th-century Singer sewing machine with treadle table. Thanks to artist and designer [IG]rosa_in_motion for showing us around this beauty!

Keep an eye out at our events for more wonderful machines like this. Built to last and to repair not replace, they're not only aesthetically pleasing but can be a more #sustainable option too.

I put a vintage polish on the 925 silver, took two component adhesive to keep the cover in place and fastened the jack.

Part 6

Last things to be done. Blackening the 925 silver in a stinky sulfur bath 😷😂 = more contrast with the 585 gold. Lay the cables in neatly, repairing a broken spot with black resin.

Hoy ha sido mi primerita incursión en la creación de velas (de cera de soja + aceite esencial de flor de cerezo).
Otro paso más en "mi #crafty era"...

Si te molan, probablemente las empiece a vender de aquí a unas semanas...
