drat, literally every goon is cooler than me... heres my insta that i'm terrible at updating.

Heres some stuff?

Made a mold from a real fossil and cast this magnet


Made molds from local acorns and cast em


Made some real small corns out of polymer clay


lastly, flower crowns for week old rats (that I bred, does that count as 'making' something?)

Thanks, if you like rats n crafts i also made the props in this vid (not my tiktok)

Im completely astonished by the creative power of goons, this thread is a modern art museum (minus the rich weirdo's vanity projects?)

whoa these own, are they all sculpey?
First two are resin, resin with sculpey-premo caps, then the rest is all sculpey/premo

I've been making a lot of wood poo poo and playing around with a laser cutter



latest thing has been trying to get it to crank out cheap and easy marquetry, hosed this design up pretty bad but maybe it'll be salvageable with an epoxy fill or something


This stuff is absolutely amazing? Is that picture jasper or picture sandstone on top of the top two boxes? I absolutely love both of them and your use here is gorgeous. That tiger is also blowing me away, im off my rear end about how cool this wood stuff is

Thanks! Yeah they're sandstones I picked up at a gem shop out West, I really liked the way the grain sorta continues in all dimensions so I wanted to make something where they pop out a bit. Running out of em now but I'm hanging out with the local lapidary guild so I'll probably be doing a lot more stone in wood in the near future.

I really like the translucent glow you got on the acorns, what resin do you use? I've been hunting around for affordable stuff I can use for stuff like that tiger where a wood inlay just tears out



Back when we could go to conventions rock and gem shows were nice for getting decently cheap slabs of stuff. Its more expensive, but picture jasper has a similar look in terms of the banding and colors but looks even more like a sepia toned watercolor, and sometimes includes teals/blues.

Your boxes are gorgeous

Re resin, those are easycast but i also really like art n glow and use it mostly nowdays
