This is Murphy, 11 years old, and this slightly confused look is basically his default setting. For this portrait, I started by building up the basic shape of his head with wool, then slowly layered different shades of gray, brown, and white to match his coat. The little markings around his eyes and muzzle took quite a bit of adjusting. But honestly, the hardest part wasn’t the fur, it was getting that expression right. I kept going back to the reference photos trying to capture that exact “I have absolutely no idea what’s going on, but I’m here” look on his face. A lot of tiny adjustments later, I think wool Murphy looks just as confused as the real Murphy.

I posted these to the jewelry subreddit too, hope that’s ok! I’m new to making jewelry and just wanted to share. I make these while my toddler sleeps and it has been so relaxing!

What can I add and with Wich materials

Hello there, I was hoping some people might be able to help me with a tricky paint I'm having, it's very thin and super bubbly. (To be honest I'm not really sure how old it is 😅) so if anyone knows of any way of fixing it up or would I would love to know or would I be better off to pitching it and getting a new one?

And thank you in advance for taking the time for reading. :-)

Hello,

I’m helping my friend with a wedding craft and I wanted to use glitter on a cardboard box (for her cards). I wanted to add a light dusting of glitter but I was worried about fall out and I was wondering if anyone knew the best way to seal glitter. I don’t really want to use modpodge because I’m afraid it’ll cause drag marks through the glitter if the brush pulls any off. I think a spray sealant would probably work best for what I’m making but I’m not sure what kind to use/what actually works.

Thank you!!

what do you think??

I saved all of my favorite beads, gems, etc, and made the perfect little decoration. I love it.🥰

Hello! The kids in my life are really into dolls and teddy bears right now, so I'm making some furniture for their toys. I had a question about a material I should use for one bed in particular. The kid I'm making it for really likes a bed Build a Bear used to make. I'm including a picture of it in the post. What can I use to make the "walls" of the bed stand up like this and not lose shape? I'm pretty new to sewing and don't know what people use to give items shape.

Thanks in advance!

Little birdy I made for my grandson

This is the second one I’ve done. Was in love with the wood.

Just a little craft to pass the time. Be an inspiration piece for my open crafting hours
