#theme 48

if these rough tender hands could talk

~Chosen themes: Fuck U-Up, Wearable Crafts, & Tattoos~

My first contribution for @gallacrafts!

As a new member of the Shameless fandom, I have been endlessly impressed with how active this fandom is even years after the show has ended. I know that is because of awesome fan projects like this! I am here to express my love for fandom community and of course, Mickey Milkovich. 🖤

so sensitive

did you guys know that i draw a little bit sometimes? i don't tell most people, so shhh don't tell anyone. this is unfinished, but that's how most of my work looks anyway.

Tried my best to embroider this very iconic scene onto a shirt! This was my first time ever trying to do embroidery so I'm pretty happy with it! Next time I will do more research and less fucking around and finding out lol

For the final 😭 @gallacrafts - I chose Theme 19 - Big Fic Energy (crafts based on multi-chapter fics). As @gallacrafts is sadly coming to an end, I chose one of my favourite stories which is also sadly coming to an end 😭

intro to quantum dating by @spoonfulstar

I made a collage of some (but not all because obviously it’s very long and a lot happens!) of the parts of the story. This is one of my favourite stories ever and I’ll be so sad when it ends but I know I will reread it again and again. Thank you @spoonfulstar for sharing such a wonderful story with us - it’s so comforting, hilarious, sweet and emotional 🥰

Can’t believe this is the last @gallacrafts 😭 Huge shout out to the wonderful mods- @smokey-mickey @too-schoolforcool @michellemisfit thank you so much for running this fantastic event each month. It’s always been a joy to take part and to enjoy the creations. It’s what got me into making edits so I am forever grateful to you all for that! Sending you so much love and thanks! 💖💖💖💖

Well…. challenge accepted!

Let’s go!

Theme 14: We Make A Good Team 🤝

How it started…

How it’s going…

Thank you Gigi for letting me play with your dolls, I enjoyed it very much!

Thank you @gallacrafts for all the creative stimulation you’ve provided over the years!

Also tagging @shamelesscreatorsnetwork as they were part of the team in the original theme 14.

I’m hoping to revisit some more old @gallacrafts themes this month, if I find the time. But for now…

My first ever submission for @gallacrafts!

I have been planning on making this for a while, and I finally got an excuse to do it!

This is a sculpture I made out of Sculpey modeling clay over the course of many, many hours. I've never actually sculpted anything before, so this was a labor of love! I'm not totally thrilled with the results, but I don't think it came out too bad for my first ever sculpture.

It's loosely based on Michaelangelo's Pieta, with Mickey as Mary and Ian as (gay) Jesus.

I'm never sculpting anything ever again lmfao. Tiny sample of a process video under the cut so you can see how tedious this was (and how soft the clay was!)

For the @gallacrafts theme Big Fic Energy, this is a diamond painting* based on the chapter 11 art for my story Out of Nowhere.

I hoped to get this completed before today, but it's taking way more hours than expected. 😝

Left: the in-progress craft. Right: the original image. Below are some close-ups.

Thank you, @gallacrafts, for all the years of inspiration! I hope we all keep crafting after this month!
