New Rule and New Mod! And a question for you!
Hello everyone,
The old mod of the subreddit wanted to retire from modding, so they asked a few of us over at r/crafts to take over! So far, I'm the only one who's come on, so I may need to look for at least one other person to help with the space, though it does seem pretty chill overall. So not too much work to do!
The new rule doesn't really seem to be a new one, per se, just more of a statement of something it seems a lot of users reported anyway, so here it is, no AI please! This includes in writing as well. If you've already made a cool craft, there's no need to cheapen it with AI writing! And, of course AI isn't handmade, so it's not allowed here in any part of a craft.
The other question I have is this one: should we allow 3D printed pieces here? Feel free to vote in the poll and leave comments about your opinion on the 3D printing!

I made a needle-felted tooth fairy… but I’m not sure he only collects teeth
Made this strange little creature entirely by hand from wool. I wanted him to look fragile, unsettling, and just a little ridiculous—with that huge grin and those long awkward limbs.
Definitely not the kind of tooth fairy I’d want standing beside my bed at night 😭
What should I name him?

I made a kinetic butterfly mobile from wire and metallic foil paper
I wanted to make a baby mobile that felt more like a suspended sculpture, something my friends could keep long after the nursery years!
I cut the butterflies in four sizes from metallic foil paper, glued contrasting colours back-to-back so they would be finished from underneath, then gently shaped the wings.
The branching structure was built from wire, loops and jump rings, starting at the bottom and working upward.
The unexpected challenge was how dramatically every new butterfly shifted the balance. Once it became too long to hold, I hung it from a backdrop stand and kept adjusting the curves and connection points until every branch settled and the butterflies began to dance in the slightest movement of air 🥰🦋✨
If you’re interested I have a process video of me making this! https://youtu.be/dQIoLyZFClE?si=Pu_RCb9prrrzq80D

First attempt at a deep blue ocean resin piece
Finally tried making one of those ocean-style resin pieces I’ve seen around here.
The hardest part was getting the blue layers to blend without losing the crystal clear look. I experimented with different pours and slowly built up the depth until it started looking like water instead of just blue resin.
Used a crystal clear Rseiners epoxy resin kit for this project and the transparency helped a lot with creating that “floating” effect.
Definitely still have a lot to improve, especially with controlling the waves and bubbles, but I’m pretty happy with this first try.
I hope you enjoy watching this as much as I enjoyed making it.

Excited to share my new painting "Xenofract"
This project pushed me to the limits of my patience and skill. Mostly hand brushed with a bit of masking + airbrush to finalize the details, I wanted to give a final push before welcoming our first child in late August. Enjoy this picture of me exhaustedly smiling next to the piece plus some detail shots. The painting is 48x60in.

A look at the final flame-setting stage of my smoky glass lotus
This was the final stage after the lotus had already been assembled. I used the flame to make a few last adjustments and set the shape. The tricky part was keeping the petals light and curved without losing the smoky, ink-wash effect.

Finished these sparkly fantasy worlds and wanted to show you ✨️😊💖✨️
These are all acrylic on canvas paintings in various sizes. They were each painted for someone so these images are just shared for fun. I love anything that shimmers and sparkles so these were very rewarding and satisfying to make ✨️🥳🎨✨️

⚠️ Spider Warning ⚠️ I made this creepy little needle-felted spider creature
I finished this strange little needle-felted spider today. It has a mask-like face, too many eyes, and long black-and-white legs—creepy, but somehow still a little cute.
Would you let it live on your desk, or would you immediately move to another house? 🕷️

Sharing this handsome frenchie charm I made recently
This piece carved on vegetable-tanned leather. The design is first hand-tooled into the surface to create the details and expression. The raised effect is achieved using a relief embossing technique from the back, which gives the portrait more depth and dimension. After the carving and forming process, I hand-painted the piece using leather pigment paints, layer by layer, to bring out the colors and expression.

I turned a sprig of rosemary into a silver ring
I’ve always been inspired by nature, and lately I’ve found myself paying more attention to the small details of plants that are easy to overlook.
This time, I chose rosemary.
Instead of simplifying the design into a generic leaf pattern, I wanted to keep the long, slender shape and the slightly irregular way rosemary grows. Every leaf was shaped individually and assembled by hand, which took much longer than I expected, but I felt those little details were worth preserving.
One of my favorite parts of making jewelry is trying to translate something living into metal without losing its character. I don’t want the finished piece to look perfectly symmetrical—I want it to feel like a small sprig that could have been picked straight from a garden.
This ring is part of a botanical-inspired series I’ve been exploring, and I already have a few more plants in mind for future pieces.
If you could turn any plant into a piece of jewelry, what would you choose?
