I NEED #HELP

I just randomly got frozen on #telegram. All my friends and notes for my book are there. Does anyone know how I can get unfrozen or create a new account? I already wrote multiple appeals to the spambot with no luck 😭

what a nice trend idea #artvsartist2025!

oh boy did a lot happen this year. I finished my apprenticeship, took so many pitures of birds and other animals, started with (digital) aquarell art, went to my first real events, worked hard to resocialise... so so much happened that I'm greatfull for!

Made a new design with #XylendriaChronicles theme that I'm gonna use for a #phonecase. Printed version failed, pla and tpu don't mix, barely any color options and new filament required just for one case = I ordered one instead 😅

Anyway,
Stay cozy, stay curious 🐾

I FORGOT ABOUT BSKY!!!

Sorry for being absent recently — Literally forgot about bsk 😭
The knife has actually been finished a while baclk. Went great for a first try, but there’s room for improvement (see comment for more info ☺️).

As always,
Stay cozy, stay curious 🐾

finished knife, my first try on making pattern welded steel! For a first it really went well but there where quite a few hickups. Biggest one, damn that steel was hard to forge by hand. I supose the high manganese concentration made it very stiff, and therefore hard to stretch out. Damn, I would love to have a forgepress... then I undercalculated the billet, and the knife turned out smaller, thinner and narrower then expected. But even so, I still love it!

A new way of making spoons I came up with last year.
Got in contact with some local tea & coffee shops for a colab but sadly my lathe broke

I'm curently focusing more on blacksmithing again but when I have some spare money, I'll make sure to get a lathe again!

#lathe #woodworking #craft #handmade
closeup of the spoon. basically the outside is turned, then cut in half and then the inside is turned and a picture of the spoon as a little present

Done! ☺️

I am really happy with the result, specially the tail I'm proud of! But I did change the posture a little bit which setback shading, but definetly worth it!

tips, tricks and critique always welcome!

Small little #weekendproject!
I made a similar cupboard a while back to fit inside a bigger cupboard (don't ask 😅) and my mom requested another one. Made out of really crappy pallet wood and stained with a varnish mix.
