Anyways have some gravity falls mosaics I made a few months ago

They are made up of shattered cds (colored) and vinyls! Dont worry nothing was of value, I’m not even kidding the cds were just of like a decade old Microsoft and windows programs I found someone throwing away lol

The “grout” is homemade paper clay with some paint mixed in to match color wise

The second image is of my favorite drawings from a reverse portal au of mine! I’ve drawn it more times than I can count, often in very odd ways lmao

hehehehehehe >>>:3

About a month or two ago, I was working on a crochet sebastian solace (pressure) fully poseable & dressable doll. I infact, finished it, and love it dearly. But right now the stuff with Zeal and Ren is happening, and I have decided I no longer want this little guy in my room.... so im gonna strip him down to just the doll and turn him into something else. Here's the photos of him before I murderize him vvvv

I finally decided to mend this backpack that’s been sitting around for two years begging for mercy. I used an old pair of jeans to replace the straps, the foam inserts from the previous straps for padding, and a mix of machine and hand sewing to hold it together! I still need to tack the foam inserts down more securely, so I might do a little simple hand embroidery or sashiko or something, especially around the ladder clasps.

This is the before situation: the bag itself was fine but the straps were absolutely useless, barely hanging on. Plus a cosmetic issue in the laptop holder.

And here’s the after! Visibly clumsy, and I left more of the previous strap than I probably should have, but it’s nice and sturdy and it’s functional! I used a whole skein (?) of embroidery thread for this and ran out of bobbin thread twice but ya know… Worth it for real

(Side note I’m impressed my sewing machine could handle 4 layers of denim without a needle breaking…. A trooper fr)

I’m very proud of my work! May it last for years to come (and if it doesn’t, may I be able to repair it again and again!)

Oh also bonus ID pouch for my keychain, made using some really small scraps that weren’t worth saving otherwise.

Machine sewn but clumsy :(. But it’s been YEARS since I last touched a sewing machine so I’m proud! Hand sewed the button on- it’s an antique mother of pearl button I found in my button bag of doom :)

I’m very proud of this!!!!! :D
