Just finished this little guy and I'm so happy with how he turned out. Started out as random whittling at a craft brunch and he just emerged from the wood as I followed my fun. Then I drilled holes in the feet up to the eyes for the LEDs and put him on a little base made of a drink lid, a cardboard coffee cup, some cardboard from a box, some masking tape, and hot glue, and got all the wiring hooked up. I made all the little decorations out of polymer clay including his buckle and buttons and attached those with hot glue, painted everything with acrylic paint and then gave him a couple of coats of spray on lacquer to seal everything.

I've been doing a bunch of stuff with 3d printing recently but that doesn't feel like crafting in the same way so I feel like I need to have another second thing I'm working on while I'm doing the 3d printing projects that is entirely made by my hands. Whittled, soldered, crafted, painted, a power tool here and there, but all of it crafted by my clumsy fingers. And this guy is such an emblem of that. #punkcrafts

A friend recently had their seventh birthday and they've recently been getting into Pokemon for the first time with Let's Go Eevee. I'm not sure they've seen enough different pokemon yet to have settled on a long term favorite so for their birthday I decided to make them a pokeball, plush so they can throw it around and with a sound mechanism for the appropriate audio effects. #ashplushie #punkcrafts #punkplushies
