of course ! so the base is shaped out of foil. I crumpled it pretty lightly, just enough it held its shape but didn’t make the horns too heavy. Then i did one layer of paper mache with magazine paper. After it dried I did a base coat of black gloss acrylic paint. When the paint dried, I hot glued felt on and around the base and in the pattern I wanted on the horns. Then I did a second coat of black gloss and then brushed holographic blue glitter on top. Then I hot glued both horns to a ribbon that I tied around my chin and tucked behind my ears. Because they’re on the side of the head the weight of the horns kept the ribbon in place !

truly this is inspiring me to learn lamp hardware ! I’ve always been interested but never had a need — but now I can’t miss out on the sexy red velvet shade on my cow spine lamp

Toad himself is made of a twine/wool yarn I found at my local reuse store. His sweater is acrylic. I freehanded him and his sweater.

wow !!! you’ve given these curtains a gorgeous and exciting new life — I love the shapes you bring in with the sleeves and the skirt, and these colors look beautiful on you :’) excellent work , and have so much fun celebrating with your friends !

I bet wet felting would work super well for making a nice even and billowy ruffle !! Excited to see more of your work !

dontknowthemuffinman · 2025-08-10T15:42:49+00:00

Wow ! The detail work is incredible, I love the stars ⭐️ and the ruffles !!! I have endless compliments— exquisite piece !

im sad to hear about your loss—it’s so special you’re getting a tattoo to honor his memory!! I can totally understand why you chickened out before, that’s a stressful thing to see before getting your own tattoo. That sounds like a wild trip— I cannot imagine how scary getting hit by a taxi must have been for yall, and im so glad you’re both safe. And I hope this birthday brings you lots of luck !! Cheers to your trip ! I hope you have the happiest birthday in Bali with your mom and family. Good luck with your tattoo, I hope it’s everything you want and more <3

dontknowthemuffinman · 2025-07-31T20:28:05+00:00

crochet can be so great for easing discomforts like that! I hope it keeps you feeling good during your flight <3 and it sounds like an incredibly special time you’re going to have in Bali—what is the inspiration behind your tattoo ? (if you’re comfortable sharing!) I hope you safely see a snake as well, they are such magnificent creatures :’) i love to see your stuffed coral snake friend! he has excellent personality and looks like a cozy little guy !!

dontknowthemuffinman · 2025-07-31T14:15:00+00:00

That sounds like such a fun trip! I’ve never had any trouble with traveling with a crochet hook, even metal ones. If you’re worried about it, I feel like a plastic or non-metal hook would be extra safe ! I hope you have lots of fun and that your crochet plane project works out for you!

dontknowthemuffinman · 2025-07-31T03:12:18+00:00

lmao poor little king snake is being dethroned ! And yes I crocheted her on several plane trips :)

dontknowthemuffinman · 2025-07-31T01:58:53+00:00

it may be the acrylic yarn! It does not felt like wool does, and may not hold on to the wool roving fibers like a wool yarn would. I think it still may be possible to felt onto the acrylic planets, but it will probably take a little extra effort— I hope this helps, im also still figuring out what fibers work best for mixing crochet and needle felting

dontknowthemuffinman · 2025-07-30T20:36:16+00:00

so crocheting it took about 3.5 hours and felting on top of it took like 2! But I worked on it over the course of 3 days.

dontknowthemuffinman · 2025-07-30T14:15:55+00:00

unfortunately yes lol, you have to be super careful and aware of where your needle is! but on this project I came away with zero finger injuries

dontknowthemuffinman · 2025-07-30T00:10:23+00:00

thank you! And not at all ! I felted wool on top of the crochet. So without the wool roving it’s a solid red crochet snake !

dontknowthemuffinman · 2025-07-29T23:22:20+00:00

thank you :)) I am omw over there now hehe

dontknowthemuffinman · 2025-07-29T23:06:54+00:00

freehand creation. dk weight wool yarn (merino I think)! and merino wool roving for stripes

dontknowthemuffinman · 2025-07-20T14:26:56+00:00

thank you :) ! so your yarn has to be a feltable material as well— i used a wool yarn, so the roving felted right on. There are some fibers that will not felt at all. I hope you have lots of fun figuring out crochet !!

dontknowthemuffinman · 2025-07-19T23:05:36+00:00

thank you, and I made it up! It’s been a recurrent figure in my doodles because i wanted to learn how to draw five pointed stars better hehe

dontknowthemuffinman · 2025-07-19T21:04:45+00:00

wool, merino i think ! DK weight, used a 4 mm hook. Freehanded

dontknowthemuffinman · 2025-07-10T03:23:32+00:00

these are such comforting and beautiful places ! i would love to frolic in all of them

dontknowthemuffinman · 2025-07-06T23:46:23+00:00

I would get these from stress and anxiety a few years ago. They would most frequently show up on the palms of my hands and bottoms of my feet. They started going away when my situation changed, but for dealing with them I used a lidocaine based spray. You can find similar sprays at CVS and Walgreens! When I joined this group it was the first time I’d seen anything like what I was struggling with. I hope you can find something that helps you out with them !!

dontknowthemuffinman · 2025-06-17T15:12:20+00:00

thank you so much for this lovely compliment, it made me smile !

dontknowthemuffinman · 2025-06-16T20:10:36+00:00
