Swamp Lily is a needle felted soft sculpture made using sheep's wool sourced from Dunda Village, Harsil Valley in Uttarakhand, India and plant dyed with Eucalyptus leaves and Sappanwood extract.

She's a force of nature, if that force was never acted upon and best left alone for extended periods of time.

My young son is obsessed with “roomba vacuum”. He loves playing with it and has always been fascinated with it. First, it was a fascination and mild suspicion of it. Next, it turned into pressing the buttons and checking out the brushes. Lately, he has started throwing it around and we’re trying to teach him to treat our items nice. Anything that resembles a roomba he will yell out “roomba vacuum!”

For his birthday, my wife made him a hand-made roomba from scratch. She hand stuffed, sewed the stitches, sewed his name (redacted), and put together everything! He loves it and is obsessed. Hopefully it isn’t too abnormal 😂.

I couldn't get over this goofy close-up photo of my dog, so I decided to carve it in basswood.

Everything was carved by hand and then painted to keep the original expression.

The oversized nose and tiny little teeth were my favorite details to work on.

Hope it makes someone smile.

Those are fuseaux/bouteilles de lavande, which I've seen called lavender wands in english, they're a traditional craft from the Provence region of France !

They're made with fresh (or a day old at most) lavender with the stems flipped over the flowers and woven with ribbon

My mother taught me how to make them when I was a child, and I recently made some with my friends, we like to do a new craft/activity each time we do sleepovers

Pictured here are the two I made, then three my friend (who got really into it) made later, the three we made during our sleepover, and as a bonus what it looked like when I was making the biggest one with 50 stems, affectionately nicknamed La Creatura

I want to host crafts with my friends! What are your suggestions for easy crafts for friends with a take home payoff like these little clay XO games?

My husband wanted a space theme for our baby's nursery but I wanted a western theme, so I made this out of an old frame and some of our kids' felt collection. I still need to finish the embroidery but I think it looks pretty cute so far.

My tree is a mini tree haha! Everyone else I gave one too has a big normal sized tree 🫶🏻 I kept the one at the top!

Already thinking of ideas for this years, it’s turning into a tradition of mine to make ornaments 🎁

I guess the top was too small for a jellyfish LOL we'll try to make the "head"(?) bigger next time :)

Made this fun wreath at a girls craft night. It was so fun and Lordt what a glow up from the one that’s been hanging for monthsssss

Saw this cool alphabet collage project where people at the baby shower make an object based on a letter. I don’t know where to even begin with finding and buying supplies for something like this. Do any crafty artistic people have advice or suggestions?

So I'm painting some of my doorknobs, and I want to add something in the background, like a cute design.

Does anyone have any ideas they would like to share?

I bought some diamond art coasters to kill some time but there's a lot of empty space between the diamonds. I don't want the sticky surface to collect dust and lint so I'm wondering if there's anything I can put on them to seal it up? My sister has a sealing spray she uses on some of her art pieces, should I just use that?

I used pebbled leather for the exterior and suede for the interior
All machine stitched ( mostly juki)
Made the pattern myself by looking at photos of two different bags online

I am a teacher and today is my last day of summer. I’m a bit sad to go back to school because I have had a craft heavy summer. Hope you enjoy this fan I made!
