What did you make?
I have noticed that members in here are rather creative, yet we need a thread where you can share your creations.
This is it! I'll go first. I made a Slytherin themed wand. http://i49.tinypic.com/2iw3ho2.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/24bosqq.jpg |
Ooh.. what is the handle made from?
|
Hot glue and lava beads :D
|
That's really cool.
Have you ever had Neuhaus chocolate? I got a package from my friend in Denmark the other day, and he sent me a whole lot of wonderful chocolate, including a box of Neuhaus... which I think is the most complex and delicate chocolate that I've ever tasted. It's amazing. |
I haven't heard of it, but I might have to look into that now :b
|
I made another :P I know both wands are very short, but I had nothing longer that I could not be without.

Whoa, Timeless. When I first saw these I almost thought it was blown glass. Impressive. :)
|
Thank you :)
Feels much more comfortable than blown glass, because the paint and glue gives friction when you hold them, so they don't slide, and that is awesome :D |
Just out of curiousity, do you have a craft store or home decor store nearby? I'm thinking you could maybe use dowel rods as an armature or maybe a small curtain rod. (I was almost thinking an old car antenna, but I don't know where you'd get one). Would any of that work?
|
Well, I suppose they could, but I prefer brushes or chopsticks because of the size and the fact that they are already wood. I just need to go out and buy some cheap brushes that are longer :) And crafting the entire handle from glue is preferable because you can do so much with it :)
|
Okay. I get you. Yeah, brushes and chopsticks would work better (but I hear where you're coming from. I would be hard put to part with my brushes, or chopsticks for that matter). However, if you really got ambition someday, I think this would look so cool on the end of a walking stick. Hmmm.
|
Well, I would need larger lava beads then :P But that could be cool, decorating an entire walking stick like this! :D
|
Turns out one of my long brushes was worn and needed changing soon, so I let it serve it's final purpose by becoming a Gryffindor wand.

I've been going wild with bottle openers lately.

Xombie: I'd almost have thought you knew me well - I collect bottle openers :o Those you have there are awesome btw ^^
|
Timeless - well aren't you a clever chops!
*jealous* |
Oh those are WANDS!
...Man. I was getting increasingly nervous with each one. Good work. Xombie. Are you a metalworker/blacksmith by chance? |
Well since I kind of posted my last one in the picture thread I won't put it here as well. But when I do anything new I'll chuck it in here :)
I have an idea needling away for a sea themed head-dress, involving leather and auger shells, pearls and dried sea fan, seagull feathers and if I can get any, some old vintage sealskin from an old coat or mitten or something . I have absolutely NOWHERE to wear such a thing and haven't the figure for the sort of outfit it would go with . But it's poking the back of my brain more insistently so it will get itself made soon enough I reckon.. |
.... I made scones... they didn't work... :(
Maybe I need to sit next to Timeless and get some creative abilities via osmosis. |
Fruity: Thanks :3 You make me feel special :D
Ashley: Do I even want to know what you thought they were...? o.o Honeythorn: That does sound awesome :D And hey, who says you have to have a use for anything to make it? I don't go to Hogwarts, yet I made wands :P |
Xombie, love the bottle openers.
TR, re: "...who says you have to have a use for anything to make it?" Thanks for that. I've had a hankering to make another Southwestern style wreath, but I already have one. (Tried selling them, but people just said they were nice, and, "You know, with the economy, and all that ...," so I gave up). I think I might just do that. After all, I've got a spare wreath form, and feathers, and leathers and pony beads, and ... hmmm. |
You totally should :D The creative process is worth more than you could make from selling whatever you are making :)

Sometimes, I don't even care if what I make is good or bad, I just want to create :D
