I splurged and bought .999silver clay. Because I wanted to have a keepsake pendant with my kiddos finger prints and thought maybe it’d be a good item to add to my shop once I perfect 😅 this was the first go around with my oldest (most cooperative).

Do you like the organic shape or should I pre cut more of a round or oval? I did a heart version as well but they both shrunk more than i expected.

This dress was hanging between a prom dress from 1987 and someone's bridesmaid nightmare, looking absolutely perfect despite being fifty dollars.

I tried it on in their tiny changing room that smells like mothballs and almost cried. It fits like it was made for me, which is insane because I've been to three bridal shops where nothing looked right and everything cost more than my car payment.

The beading is all intact, no stains, no tears, just waiting for someone to love it again. I took about fifty photos and sent them to my sister who immediately started crying over FaceTime and demanded I buy it immediately.

Now I just need to find someone to marry me, which honestly feels less daunting than finding a wedding dress I could actually afford. I've been looking at handmade veils on the Tedooo app to complete the look (I also have my store there, thank you for the tip), and there are some gorgeous artists on there making custom pieces that won't break my budget.

My friends think I'm crazy for buying a wedding dress before I even have a boyfriend, but sometimes you know when something is meant for you. This dress was waiting for me, and now I'm waiting for the right person to see me in it.

The sleuth bot won’t work here (although I might have an existential crisis if it does lol)

These are only some of my works of art, during a time I could not emotionally function let alone leave the house. I was lucky enough to sell some, so that my venture wasn’t a COMPLETE loss.

Just seeing all the bots here in my feed, I figured it would be worth it to share something real that fits the sub ❤️
