I've had mine for six years and still don't feel comfortable with it, so don't feel bad if you don't like them! I mostly use it in very specific cases. I think you're doing awesome!

Thanks, Boss! It's very reassuring hearing pretty much all that.

It's been a long time since I've been able to post in this thread! But look!





The top ones are the prototype booties, and the lower set is a present. They work up very fast!

very cute!

Those are adorable!

So cute!!

Our holiday party in January is themed "Roman Holiday," so I was charged with making 4 posters to hang up around the room. This is one of them.



It started out as white poster-board and was painted and had images added to it. I hope it exceeds the committee's expectations.

The one on the right is the one I talked about above that I made for Atty. I'm so pleased, still. Even better hanging up!

Then I decided I should make one for Nom-Nom! I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out

Festive Christmas dinosaurs:



Next year, I'm making elf stockings for Donny and me.

And, GAH. Sorry if the pictures are huge. Phone is a horrible way to share pics to bb.

I love Naomi's dinosaur stocking! That came out fantastically. :)

My latest tablet drawing:



If I can make three more and none of them look like complete s*****, I'll be using these in the new place.

That's pretty cool looking, though I can't quite tell what it is. Are you cooking something?

That's a bit disheartening that it's not obvious what it is. Ah well. It's a mixing bowl at an angle, yes.

Its cousin, the pot:




I have two more coming but not tonight. I already started to mess up my layers on this one.

I thought it was a mixing bowl with a whisk or a beater, except I wasn't sure because of the spray of stuff coming out to the side. The pot looks great too. Glad to hear you're starting to mess with layers more too

Those stockings are adorable, Kirsten! And Alea, those look fantastic! Can totally picture them hanging up in a kitchen.

Thanks, Claire. :) I did more futzing around with them and made two more. I'm actually a little happy with how they came out.

I would have to say the pot is my favorite, but they're all awesome!

I am excited to see the next two. Can you make some artwork for my future home? You know, when I get one in the next decade or so.

Here's all four, with the two I've posted likewise filtered as a finishing touch:
I'd love to do something for your future place, assuming I have the ability. :)

Yay!

Those look great. I like the kettle lots.

You have a kettle and a pot! :O have you introduced them to each other?

Awesome art have you ever thought of making yourself a deviantart page?

Nah. :) DA is a scary, scary place filled with actual artists; I'd hear fraud alarms in my head every time I tried to post anything seriously.

You'd understand why if you say my duck picture, which looks like a misshaped head and torso on top of a lemon-shaped lower body. Or my first attempt at a pot, admittedly attempted when I was too tired to even know my own name.

I am so excited. I finally have my crafting glue and I brought back a picture frame I already owned that I plan to paint and frame my kitchen doodles in.

I can't wait to see them all framed up!

Alea, those are awesome! I especially love the wine one. I'm also extremely jealous, since all the artistic genes in my family somehow managed to skip a generation ><

I like to imagine that the wine bottle is wearing a top hat, which makes it extra fancy.

Would totally put those up in my house if I were you.

Before:


After:


Not sure I'm entirely happy with this (I don't like the visible seams, for starters) but I'm going to sleep on it and see how I feel about it later.

I like it, Alea!

Here is Nom modelling the slouchy beret I made just before Christmas. I like it!

Awesome!

And holy cow, Nom is big and looks like you!!

Um, yes, seriously. Can you please point out your baby because that is a big kid.

This is the beading project I've been working on and off on (mostly off) for the past three years. To get an idea of how slow-going this is, tonight I got one line of the long horizontal slightly W-esque in the middle of the canvas (above the stem) done and the stuff a few inches above it; it took 2.5 hours for that. I'm pretty sure this will never be done. I'd also, for vanity's sake, like to point out this is taken with my phone's camera; it looks a bit better in person.

That is awesome, Alea, and WAY more dedication than I've ever had to a project.

Can't wait to see the finished product...someday.

I have just read the process behind beading and that's crazy lots of work x_x so hats off to you! I hope you can finish it!

And thanks for posting the pic!

I'm having a bit of déjà vu. Have you posted this project before?

Props on picking it back up. Beading takes a superhuman amount of patience and perseverance.
