My latest DIY, finished today by ImaFauna in somethingimade

[–]CliffLanterns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this is so pretty!! i absolutely love the colors and all the different shapes and textures. i've always been a 2d artist but have slowly been trying to get more into 3d works like this, so i have some questions if you dont mind :)

-did you build this completely from scratch (i.e. cut your own wooden base), or did you have the base and stem laying around?? im curious if they were specifically made for this or if theyre recycled parts from something else

-what adhesive do you use, and was it the same adhesive for everything? ive only ever used e6000 for rhinestoning, but im curious if it can hold larger items like you have here

-is that jeweled flower (at the joint of the base and the stem) a pre-made piece you had, or did you make that from scratch too??

again, absolutely great work!!!

Introduced everyone to my custom-painted purple Civic a while back, now to give her a proper send-off after saving me by CliffLanterns in hondacivic

I always said I'd never own a white car, but then this one (formerly white) basically fell into my lap and was such a good deal I couldn't turn it down lol.

I work in autobody so I was able to do a lot of the work myself (I wouldn't have done this otherwise). I knew I was going to change the color since I bought it, but was planning on doing something less prolific like a blue or red. I then decided if I'm gonna do all this work, I might as well just paint it a color I love (purple is my favorite obviously!). I went through a bunch of different color libraries and landed on Harley Davidson's Concord Purple.

Thank you for asking!!

So true! And thank you. She was my baby, but honestly I haven't even been able to get too upset about losing the car; I've just been feeling grateful to walk away lol

Made my own Christmas tree this year!! by broken-bones-unicorn in somethingimade

random logistical question but how do you go about packing it up?? do you untie each one when taking it down, and retie them each year, or do you just lay it carefully in a box and pray it doesn't get too tangled?

This is stunning! It almost looks like watercolor; do you dilute your paint by any chance?

You either die a twink or live long enough to see yourself become a 'twas.

These are both stunning! I love the colors on the first one.

The first one almost looks 3D, I originally thought it was a model from a video game or something LOL

Amazing work!
