If you give a whit a bouquet... it ends up vultured for crafts. Drying via silica gel beads and between books for different projects

Multimedia shadow boxes I made. Flowers I dried and a beetle I pinned on an antique oil painting on wax paper. The stencil for the painting can also be seen!

The beetles in line for hydration, the large white one from Sumatra is currently being re-moisturized

The crystal candy snake that is the beginning of a weighted blanket

I've been crafting a gargoyle head/hat for a costumed event. Still needs a coat of paint
Materials: cardboard, paper, empty masking tape rolls, glue, water
my recycling has been pawed through a lot this week

The lil bird friend I've been working on is complete! Hand stitching isn't my strong suit but I've learned so much through the process of creating this lil friend

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

that groundhog better announce spring, i am WILTING and need more sunlight

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

I have just enough audacity and delusion to think I can make anything. It might not look great but it’s definitely something that didn’t exist before.

Stage 1 of paper mache mushroom hats. A friend's inj cap and my chanterelle after the first papering 🍄

Water doggos 🦭

Happy Caturday 😽🤍

Difficult to take a photo of a shadow box, but I'm quite pleased with the result. Feat. My first taxidermied beetle (from class with Mickey Kwapis), flowers I dried in silica gel, and a collage a made.

Craft in progress: a toadstool garland, step one, dry the orange peels

The desire for a craft and hardware store right around the corner so I can quickly step out to pick up glues is so strong

To my nonbinary, agender, genderqueer, and otherwise off the binary friends & siblings: You are loved, you are valued, you are important to our community, you've been here longer than the tyrants, and you will still be here when their bones are dust and the names of their false gods are forgotten.

Birb in progress from a Corinne Lapierre crafting kit. Humbling given my inability to hand stitch consistently, but lil guy is so 🥺
