the weather outside / monthly makers: christmas

So the theme for Monthly Makers this month is CHRISTMAS. I love Christmas, but wasn’t really feeling the Christmas crafts this year. So yet again I started the old thinking engine to try and come up with a way to make something digitally. And the only thing I came up with was like winter, ice and the colour blue."the weather outside", fractal art by Jessica Andersdotter

And then a few days later I tried out something called fractal art for the first time. I used Apophysis and Chaotica, followed two tutorials, tweaked the numbers and stuff and ended up with three images that looked like some mix of snowflakes, pine trees and just something frozen. And I was like “that’s the stuff!”. I added some blurry particles/stars in Photoshop, edited the colours and contrast a little bit and then I was done. (It sounds like this was super quick but it took quite a few hours actually. Especially rendering the images. Ugh.)

And so today, on the day of Lucia, I am sharing with you my creations! I hope you’ll create something on the theme as well, and link it before the 20th in the comment section to this post!

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.
