  1. I had a puppet replica of Tom Servo from MST3K which I built over 20 years ago. After many years and lots of knocking around, the poor guy had worn out a lot. I replaced some old parts, stripped out the puppetry mechanisms, wired him up as a lamp, and added a color-changing smart bulb and some glass marbles for diffusion. Now he's the sassiest light source in the house!

  2. Right, gonna try to get these photographed / ready to list this weekend.

    Just in case Laposte finally restore US shipping.. where 90% of my customers were.. AFTER 3 MONTHS 😬

    (Why yes, I've been watching Frankenstein again..)

    It's made a lot of Things happily go Brrr in my brain.

    We do a LOTR re-watch every Xmas. This year I'm happily planning a del Toro movie day. Need to step out of Reality for a bit. May not come back for a while. Or ever..

  3. I finally finished my Halloween plaid blanket and I love it so much. #crochet #craftstodon #yarn #crafts

  4. The base blanket is done! I love the colors and the stripes, but it’s time to turn this puppy plaid. Kiki is going to make this next phase an absolute nightmare. I’m already bracing myself. #crochet #crafts #Craftstodon #YarnArts #Handmade

  5. Just created a new Motanka doll to be auctioned off for a charity event. I pulled out all the stops. I hope someone loves her and she does well. #crafts #handmade #Ukrainian #craftstodon #art

  6. 🧵 2/ More #perlage #flowers. These are made by me in another technique which allows to work on different and smaller forms. I reconstructed the technique thanks to many photos of historical findings. Why is the #craft disappearing? It is extremely labour-intensive, the material (usually from manufacturers) is very expensive and you need a lot of it. People no longer want to pay a reasonable price for such art.

  7. 🧵1/ It's only dark and grey here. Time for some #bloomscrolling and a #coloursplash. In France, such #flowers were made in the 19th century (until plastic times) for grave wreaths and religious art, the #klosterarbeiten. We had two different #perlage techniques depending on the region. These are reconstructions. People knowing the techniques become rare.

  9. made a tiny tea shop! ✨️ 🍵 my favorite so far :blobaww: #craftstodon #miniature

  10. Ok #craftstodon I'm looking at getting a new #sewingmachine. I had a very basic older Singer that I passed to a very good friend who is in the SCA and was burning through machines at a high rate (the one I gifted him is still going fine). Now that I'm able to get back into sewing I'm torn between the #janome and #Brother machines.

    So I put it out there - hit me with your experiences and opinions. I'll try to answer any questions as I can today.

  11. Made a new Motanka to radiate all the good vibes as my kiddo starts a new chapter. These truly are a beautiful #Ukranian tradition. #crafts #craftstodon #handmade

  12. finished another #miniature this one is a whole house in a traditional Chinese style - biggest one I've made so far! #craftstodon

  13. I had fun doing this proof of concept lap blanket, to make a future snowflake blanket. I hope it brings comfort to the hospice patient who receives it ❤️.
