Late for Christmas (as is on brand) but still a viable decoration option, I give you the giant porch candles! They replaced the Death of Rats as our front porch decoration this Christmas. I especially like how those wax drippings came out. And on top of it all, these porch Read more…
I give you an inside-out turning. Something that incorporates blue amber for no reason other than that it is interesting. This is this year’s Christmas ornament. This also has a Wand in it. And that cult. That mildly inconvenient cult. And if that wasn’t enough, I really think you should Read more…
The spectral dagger is the best defense at spectral apples. With the current epidemic of people getting hit in the head by errant spectral apples, everyone should have a spectral dagger on hand. Or is that just me? It was years ago when I had some things laser cut. Among Read more…
The weirdest things can happen to cans left too long on the shelf. Some might even grow wooden tentacles, which is, bar the real thing, the best kind to have – or to make! As promised, this is the second iteration of the Monster-in-a-Can-Theme. Who knows, maybe more will come. Read more…

Sometimes you have an idea stuck in your head. One of those was turning things from OSB, and after some moderate success with tea light holders (available in my Etsy shop, see below), I just had to make a wand. And while “wand from OSB” sounds like an interesting idea, Read more…
