If you set out to do something, anything, you are starting a project. This can be anything from a simple tea light holder to a complex prop. Everything is a project, and it is the projects you get to finish that have the greatest impact on your creative journey.
Here you can find those projects that I have managed to push across the finish line, and that was not always easy. I hope you find them and their presentation entertaining ans inspiring!
You can always reach out to me to ask questions about a particular technique or project. I am always happy to help out if I can, especially when it comes to finding solutions for those problems that have bugged you for ages. Maybe a fresh set of eyes and skills can help.
As you know, there’s still a dragon outside my shop. I tried to woe it with a dragon made from coat hangers as well as one made from a board, but to no avail. So now I decided to turn things around by (mostly) turning a dragon in order to… Continue Reading Turned Dragon – Maybe the last Dragon Project?
The Board Dragon is my second dragon project (after the Coat Hanger Dragon). The dragon sent by the cult is still outside my shop, and I need to think about ways to get rid of it soon. For now, I’ll run with the dragon theme inspiration to try out some… Continue Reading Board Dragon – Yet another Dragon Project
This string clamp was based on something I saw online. They made it better than I did, and played it better than I ever could. But I enjoyed fooling around with it, and using up two pieces from the pile of “things I can still use some day”. While I… Continue Reading String Clamp, vintage and fretless
For some reason, I felt the need to make a dragon from plastic coat hangers. While I have had this idea for a while, it turned out way easier than I had expected, despite some humps along the way. Now if only that had helped against the thing currently lurking… Continue Reading Dragon made from Coat Hangers
Nothing screams Halloween more than skeletal hands. Okay, skulls might, but skeletal hands are the next best thing when it comes to decorate for the season. Whether as undead breaking through through the flower bed or as decorative elements in a vase, these are easy to make and adapt to… Continue Reading Skeletal Hands – Halloween Decoration
If the Bone Hands from last week are not enough for you, you can augment your Halloween setup with these simple garden tentacles. Any old beam or post will do, and since it gets painted anyway, you do not have to be too precious about sanding and finishing. Let me… Continue Reading Garden Tentacles
After leaving most of the talking to the Cultists in my recent two projects – Round Picture Frames and Spray Paint Art – I needed to get some things off my check. This is that video, and I hope you can find Inspiration in my porthole rambling. Make sure to… Continue Reading Porthole Rambling – Talky Video
Spray paint art is an interesting way to create art, and I have wanted to try it for a while now. Finding the cult was only the last bit of persuasion I needed to give it a try. Not to mention a nice set of round picture frames that happened… Continue Reading Spray Paint Art in Reverse [Cosmic Portholes 2]
Ever wanted to have round picture frames? Or make a simple router jig to make circles with, and use it to make round picture frames? Maybe you do not even need any kind of picture frames, but you wanted to make plywood sawdust, and happened to make round picture frames?… Continue Reading Round Picture Frames – Cosmic Portholes 1
Herding slimes, feeding them, and gathering plorts, aka their droppings? It might not be glamorous, but it’s more relaxing than you would expect. I have enjoyed the game Slime Rancher enough to spark the desire to make something from the game (as I have been known to do). In the… Continue Reading Plorts – Slime Droppings!
