Monthly Makers December: Glass

December is super intense Monthly Makers-wise with the advent calendar (check it out here) but we still have a regular word to be inspired by !

As you might know, it’s GLASS, and you can check out the Alicia’s post about it here. It’s easily the most challenging word for me so far. (Which means it is the most challenging word of the YEAR. Can you believe it’s already been a year? So crazy!) I had a lot of different (bad) ideas but I finally got an idea that got me SO INSPIRED. Like probably the most inspired I’ve been all year. Had so much fun making this, and it brought me back my first days with a DSLR where I was just amazed by how beautiful the blurry bits were. So what did I make?

I suddenly got the idea to take pictures through it (though I’m fairly sure it’s made of plastic and not glass but it looks like glass so whatever) one evening. At first I just took pictures of the effects inside the crystal, but I WANTED MORE and went out the day after and started taking pictures through parts of it and got these cool sparkly and kaleidoscopic effects! So so so so much fun!

Are you guys making a glass creation?

golden twig necklace / monthly makers: wood

I’ve had such a hard time with this theme for Monthly Makers. It really didn’t suit me and the way my life is right now (which is pretty bad, tbh). My first plan was to weave something with twigs in it. And so I did. And it didn’t turn out great. In a weak moment I decided I’d make it a little bit different with some golden paint on the actual weaved bits, but like haha. Bad idea. It kinda just looked like someone had an uh… accident on it. Gj me. Great idea. Anyway, I went into the garden to get some new twigs and started working on my final result – a necklace made of golden twigs!  I made the lock part out of some wire that I made into a hook and a loop. And I used both wire and glue to make it stick together. And yeah, that’s it! Monthly Makers  is a challenge for anyone who wants to be more creative or create more. During 2016 we’ll have twelve monthly challenges for you to be inspired by. For January the theme is Wood and Sandra i...
