Old Stuff I Didn't Like (May 2024)

out of focus balls

this has probably already been done (most likely a hundred times better), but I really needed to give it a try

Craft update #1: the cardboard dragon

started: Aug 2023 status: abandoned

last year I had this wonderful idea to make a big articulated dragon thing (a childhood dream come true) ideally it would be made out of thin wood sheets (balsa wood?) and have bolts for joints - I guess the plan was to make a cardboard and toothpicks sketch and then a pattern to have it all laser cut (if you can even order smth like that), but I stopped at the (unfinished) sketch

it took days to cut out the segments (with the hind legs being remade entirely at some point) and I wasn't satisfied how the limbs connect to the torso (because I didn't plan it) - it would probably have to be remade/fixed a lot more, but I simply got (very) tired of it

now, the wings were supposed to be the really cool part, with hinges to allow them to move up and down, inner bones made of wire and some fabric for the membrane.. this never went anywhere and stayed as an idea in my head (one shitty cardboard wing sketch was made)

as of now, the dragon has been taped together to prevent everything falling apart, and is hanging from the ceiling to watch over when I sleep (first pic)

seems like a perfect time to post some more photos of my Stardew Valley farmhouse miniature paper craft

go see the >>original post<< for more details on how I made it

throwback to summer holidays a year ago, when I was bored and made a cyborg gauntlet thing, like anyone would in this situation

started this in August 2022, but making the segments match my hand and one another was a pain in the ass, so I finished it right before Christmas (just in time to put it on a Christmas tree, like anyone would)

materials used are a beer can and a stocking I sewed the glove of

it says 'beer' (piwo) on the last pic

cheers 🍻

I also bought variuous types of pencils, never thought I'll do that ..and never been this close to (consistently) learning how to draw
