Slimes in a Bottle

This is a project I've been excited to do for a very long time. I saw picture of some little slimes in a bottle of some kind of gel on Etsy, and I knew I just had to have them. But like heck I was going to buy them when I was confident I could make my own :D

Cut to about a year later, and now here they are, after gathering motivation and materials alike. These are made of Sculpey clay, and painted with craft acrylics,  then finished with a coat of shiny varnish. The three small ones are for the jar, and the other two are just for me to have around as little figurines. I filled the bottle with aloe gel, as it's clear and semi-solid, so it would hold the slimes in place. I haven't taken a picture of the aloe filled bottle yet, but I will shortly and show off the finished project. I am so excited to have this at last. Slimes are simply awesome and cute and one of my favourite creatures ever!

Photography Attempts

These are some self-done photos of me I did at the beginning of our unusually cold June. After hanging out with my friend Carolynn and seeing her be so enthusiastic about photography, I felt just bold enough to put my own face in my pictures for a bit. They're not that great though, ha ha.

These pictures ended up telling a story in my mind a little, and they inspired me to create a new character, named Hannah Rae. She's kind of the fantasy, insightful, gentle side of my mind. She is some kind of anthropomorphic dragon-elf thing.

Catch Up

It's been a long time since I posted here, yet again, but I'm finally making enough things that I feel like I actually have something to post about.

The first item is known as a Slime, particularly from the DragonQuest series of video games. I made the body quite a while ago, but only just now attached eyes and a mouth. The body is a knit pattern, modified from a pattern for a ball. The eyes and mouth are just felt that I cut out. I need to make the eyes closer together next time.

 This is my first crocheted project, as I only just learned how to crochet. My friend lent me a book for beginners with a lot of cute animal patterns. I made a yellow hippo :)

 Lastly is a pattern I made up during the winter. It was supposed to be my first pair of socks, but I got so confused when it came time to turn the heel that I just gave up :/ Then some friends of mine suggested I wear the thing like a sleeve, and to my surprise, it looks pretty nice under a black T-shirt! I think I'll make another one for my other arm after all. I'm not sure how to keep them up though, maybe a piece attached to both that goes under my shirt and across my back?
