@Charli.Snow Thats nice but we are talking more arts and crafts stuff rather than drawings.

[Charli.Snow]

[Raven_C]

OEJBGKBDHFBKSE That is AMAZING!

I'm making shorts.... and realized I am out of elastic... DANGIT... it's for my son.

The shorts almost done and then the fabrics. He picked them all out himself.

[BobbyjoeX]

nothing recently but i made this a couple years ago

[Rodimus13]

Love it @BobbyjoeXforgotensb !

So I made the shorts in the picture and wore them to school as a joke today. Anyone asked about them I was like "What shorts?"

I made a 3D paper corgi the other day mom for scale

(The design wasn’t mine. I just cut and glued)

[amortelito]

I made miniature sweaters

I make crafts almost daily! I hope I can share some of my other work some day. Right now I can't even start publishing on Insta because I have to take pictures of all my stuff

@amortelito holy crap those are amazingly done and really cute.

anyway I don't really do this often but a few months back I (with help from my mom) I made this of my online friend's character (well mine, but she made it for me) for her birthday

@nostalgicroxas oooh your cosplay looks really cool! I want to ask if you know how to dye a wig? I do it with clothes dye but the water must be boiling/very hot and some fibers get damaged.

@ghostieblu thanks! I used to glue the little clothes but I have to sew them now because they look way better! That plushie looks great! Especially the spiral of the hoodie!

[Rodimus13]

I am loving all these crafts guys- keep it up!

[nostalgicroxas]

Synthetic dyes are what you want to use and you still need to set the dye with vinegar and such. And you can't dye a wig so much as tint it, unlike fabric where with enough dye rinses you can eventually get it to a color you want 80% of the time. Whereas wigs just tint. You can get another dye effect by using alcohol based markers, like copics, but that still needs to be set with vinegar and has a higher chance of "rubbing" off on your sweaty oily skin. >:

[amortelito]

thank you so much!! I didn't know about vinegar. True, the wigs only got a hint of color. Fortunately I only need pastel colors. I will fix them as you said.

now I have pics..just a little something I made to help me reference when I'm drawing hatters hat.

[Rodimus13]

... I have a collection of teacups and teapots of different kids if you need those pics. Have eclectic tastes

[mariusthered]

no thank you, after doing the scene at the table with loads of tea pots i don't ever want to draw them again. (i kept them so i can just paste them in place when needed)

[MangoTango]

oml those are heccin awesome you guys!! <33

The last crafts I did was left hanging at my grandma's house last christmas lol. They were basically letterings and christmas lanterns

I encourage my little sis and bro to do crafts but its so sad they get attached on mostly doing "art" on computer instead rather than doing something handmade.

[sushy00]

I mostly draw but I also like to knit and crochet. Here are some things I did:

I'm so glad I have finally finished my polyhedron model!

There are many different kinds of beauty in the world. And geometric beauty is one of my favorites.
