- Tealight HoldersHas there ever been a better analogy for life, love or craftsmanship than the common tealight holder? Of course not. And I could go on and on about them, but instead, I want to inspire you to make your own tealight holders. Unlike most candle holders, tealight holders can come in many shapes and sizes, and you can find inspiration for them virtually anywhere – you can make simple ones for beginners’ craft projects and give away for Christmas, or go all out and create a Back to the Future themed DeLorean tealight holder. Which I will put on my list, too, because you can never have enough ideas. In this category, you can find all the tealight holders I have made, inspired by all manner of things and techniques. If you are new to that magical world populated by tealight holders, I recommend you start with this video about the various ways to make a tealight-sized hole.
- Magic WandsAlmost everywhere that magic is performed, you can find magic wands in one form, shape or size or another. From the “old man’s stick” design to the sleek, more nimble wands common at certain wizarding schools, the need to channel your own magic using a pointy device seems to be commonplace. Magic aside, wandmaking has many advantages. Wands are easy projects to make, can serve as skillbuilders to hone techniques or practice new ones, and even let you try out completely new and possibly weird ideas. In addition, wands do not take up much space and, even better, make cool gifts! I make no guarantees that the wands I am making will actually work. I imagine that if they did, I would not be writing this. Instead, I would conjur up a shaving golem to be my personal assistant and do these things for me. And yes, before you ask, I am writing this myself. Wand more? Then go ahead and check out the variety of magic wands that I have made, and let me know which you like best! And then head into your shop, make one yourself and send me pictures!
- Inspired by…Inspiration can come in many shapes and forms. Sometimes you have a problem that needs solving. Sometimes you see something quite unrelated and get inspired. And sometimes you find something in a game, a movie or a book that you want to make, one way or another. This is where you will find these projects. Keep an eye out for things like these. You do not need to actually make them, but they are a great source for new ideas and new ways to go about things. The idea here, though, is not to copy something verbatim so to speak, but to let inspiration guide you and take artistic license or detours whenever they present themselves. If the end result looks like the original, then that is probably a good thing. If you can manage to make it awesome in some way, then even better. And if you do, do not forget to take a picture and send it to me!

Weekly(-ish) Update 15.12.2020

Greetings Inspired Ones! I missed an update or two, but I have been sick last week (not the stuff going around) and the kids are home from school which means they demand more time (because of the stuff going around). Finished: I have finished a companion video to the Goo… Continue Reading Weekly(-ish) Update 15.12.2020

Bend Plastic Pipe – More than a Pipe Dream

The most important thing in the world – at least from a goo ball’s perspective – is the pipe. I wanted to add a pipe to my goo ball sculpture, but it did not really fit well with the project. So I decided to turn it into a separate video,… Continue Reading Bend Plastic Pipe – More than a Pipe Dream

Weekly Update 25.11.2020

Greetings Inspired Ones! For starters, I have decided to move this over to my homepage. Patreon is all well and good if you feel what I do warrants a buck a month, but the argument has been made that you don’t actually find people over there who are not already… Continue Reading Weekly Update 25.11.2020

Weekly Update 18.11.2020

Greetings Inspired Ones! I managed to finish a video! I am still not at the top of my game when it comes to sharing it properly to nudge the algorithm, but at least I got something out the door. Finished: I made a World-of-Goo inspired piece that will (theoretically) protect… Continue Reading Weekly Update 18.11.2020

Goo Diorama to Protect my Shop from the Cult

After the recent Cult shenanigans I have decided that I need more protection in and for my shop. Who knows what else they will try with their imminent audit looming large. And based on a completely unrelated premise in physics, I have landed on a Goo Diorama to keep my… Continue Reading Goo Diorama to Protect my Shop from the Cult

Weekly Update 13.11.2020

Greetings Inspired Ones! Do you care for these updates? Do you find them inspiring or interesting? Please let me know, because, well, I want to know! I do many things that never make it online, but I also do not want to list them simply to justify myself. I want… Continue Reading Weekly Update 13.11.2020

Weekly Update – 04.11.2020

I started these updates to keep you up to date, but also as a way for myself to see what I actually manage to get done – a positive feedback thing, if you will. Problem is, I’m not sure whether that works. I will keep doing them, but I might… Continue Reading Weekly Update – 04.11.2020

Weekly Update – 29.10.2020

I believe I have established the fact that I am indeed still alive. Not at peak efficiency, but still around. And I would love some feedback! On anything I do! It would really help me focus my scattershot approach to making, as well as give you a better experience for… Continue Reading Weekly Update – 29.10.2020

Weekly Update – 21.10.2020

I’m still alive! That’s something I feel inclined to say more and more often as the weeks go by and I still cannot get a video out the door. I have things in the works, and I even get things done, but maybe videos-per-month is not a good metric to… Continue Reading Weekly Update – 21.10.2020

Hydrodipping a Hideous Abomination Box

Hydrodipping is an awesome technique to give color to an object. But not just color, but also effects like marbeling (which is another name for the technique) and even a bit of texture (if, like me, you overdo it). This time, I used it to make a bland white 3d-printed… Continue Reading Hydrodipping a Hideous Abomination Box
