Since I find myself enjoying a fair bit of "making of" craft content these days, I thought I'd give y'all a little sneak behind the curtain and film the resin part of making light up earrings.

Anwyn@anwyn· 11d

Phew, I lost almost a whole day in an art frenzy! Feels fucking GREAT, and now I've got one half of a sick pair of earrings.

Anwyn@anwyn· 11d

Impatiently waiting for the oven to heat up so I can continue with version 2 of the earrings I was prototyping last night. Because I'm using polymer clay and UV resin thankfully there's not a lot of waiting involved in this particular process.

A close-up of my grey work mat, with a lump of greyish green polymer clay, a stray snake of the same clay, a black and silver sculpting tool, and an in progress vine like sculpture on it.

Tonight was my first time messing with a set of miniature sculpting tools I got a while back (shout out to the "dental supplies" section of Aliexpress) While I'm usually a "make do" kinda artist, I have to admit, it does make a real difference having the right tools to sculpt, even if they're cheap.

Someone sent me a reel of a very talented artist making light up lampshade earrings, and my brain being the way it is immediately thought, "What if a version that looks alive tho?" First prototype complete!

I almost forgot the one photo I got of my look tonight, because I had a bit of a last minute outfit crisis and didn't have time to take any before I left. On my way home some guy shouted "Hey, purple lady!" to get my attention and I guess he's not wrong. (I redyed my hair today)

A selfie of me sitting on the train. I'm wearing a black coat over a black mesh top. I have dramatic dark purple eyeshadow and black lipstick on, and the eyeshadow matches my dark purple hair.

I gave a dear friend a gift I'm very proud of tonight even though I just assembled it - she's an old school Sailor Moon fan, and also one of the baddest bitches I know, so I got my paws on a complete set of @yoshiyoshitani.bsky.social Sailor Scouts badass "business cards" and framed them for her!

20 business card sized art prints arranged in an uneven grid in a large black frame. 10 of the cards depict modern fashion forward reimaginings of the Sailor Scouts from Sailor Moon, and the other 10 are the same cards reversed so you can see the sassy slogans and funny contact emails listed like a business card.

I was very happy with my make-up tonight - I stepped out of my comfort zone a bit and got a tiny bit more colourful than usual and it was a hit! I only got this one slightly blurry shot while I was waiting for people, but I'm sure you get the idea.

A close-up of my head and shoulders. I'm wearing a black top and sitting in front of a brick wall. I have black and turquoise eyeshadow with small purple and black trails in eyeliner coming down each cheek, and turquoise lipstick that matches the eyeshadow.

After a truly hideous week of illness and then trying to catch up on everything from when I was sick, it was so good to get out and have a good dance with lovely people tonight. My outfit got so many wonderful compliments, I think all the hot glue and sweat was worth it!

A cropped shot of my head and shoulders. I've got my fists propped under my chin, so you can see the matching black wrist cuffs I'm wearing that each have a large iridescent orb. I'm also wearing a handmade tiara with two more large iridescent orbs and horns with black and purple ribbons. My make-up is black and purple to match, with black lipstick.

A full length shot of the same outfit. I'm wearing a short black halter neck PVC dress with a flouncy sleeved top over it and a frilly petticoat under it. I've got a black pleather and elastic waist cincher with three large round silver rings down the centre seam. You can't really see but I'm also wearing black fabric Dragon style wings.

This is the face of a girl had a delightful day second hand shopping with friends, and is now settling in for a fondly remembered movie in a Care Bears dressing gown that is as beautifully soft as it is disgustingly coloured. An absolute bargain at a mere nine dollars!

A shot of my head and shoulders. I'm wearing a Care Bears patterned fleece dressing gown, and holding a DVD copy of the Australian movie Two Hands in front of my delighted smile.

Here's the tiara with the first coat of paint, with a closer look at the cuffs. I'm so pleased at how Venom it all looks! The Tamiya enamel miniature paint I've been using is working out so well on the hot glue!

A wire and hot glue tiara with a large iridescent orb in the centre and two long horns on either side, painted all black. In between the arms of the tiara are two black organic looking cuffs, also made from hot glue painted black and each with a smaller matching iridescent orb.

Anwyn@anwyn· Jun 23

Ahhh I'm so excited by my outfit project progress I made a lil video so you can see how well it's coming together! This shows the wings and cuffs, but there is also a matching tiara and ring nearly ready to show.

Anwyn@anwyn· Jun 20

Okay, first progress shot of the wings and crown! The wings I've just reinforced and reshaped a bit, and the crown is a mish mash of wire, hot glue, and the horns from an old Halloween costume. Obviously still a lot of painting to do, but I'm using enamel paint so I can only do a little at a time.

Got all dolled up to go out for a dance tonight - I didn't end up having the energy to stay as long as I would have liked but I'm still glad I made the effort to get out.

A close-up of my head and shoulders. I'm wearing a black off the shoulder mesh top under a high necked sleeveless PVC top with a chest window. I've got black and silver dark eye make-up on with a circuit shape drawn in eyeliner down one cheek, and black lipstick.

Tonight's silly mind soothing movie is Stick It (2006), a movie that appealed to both the teen gymnast and blossoming futch appreciator in me. It's still far more charming than it has any right to be, but I think i understand more about WHY I love it these days...👭

Very excited to make myself some pan fried pork and settle in tonight to enjoy this very late 90s delight.

Loot post from the Witches Market I went to! The lipstick and eyeliner are alarmingly stay put, the socks are adorable, and I'm obsessed with both the rings I got. The plain band will be for every day, and the dagger one for when I need to sharpen my outfit up a bit.

An eyeliner and liquid lipstick by Deadly Sins cosmetics in sleek black boxes with silver text, and a pair of black and white striped knee socks with blood spatter over the stripes.

A close-up of my hand with two silver rings - on the ring finger is a handmade sand cast silver band with uneven pitting and texturing, and on the middle finger is a band of roses with a dagger in the middle behind a black crystal.

Anwyn@anwyn· Jun 6

Photos of this beautiful piece really don't do it justice so here's a rough lil video so you can see the lovely texturing left from the sand casting process.

Practising with my video editing app in the hopes of encouraging myself to make more "content" for my jewellery enterprise, and I made a bunch of photos into an incredibly cheesy friendship slideshow complete with effects!

This is my only tattoo at the moment, and I don't show it off a lot because a) it's not terribly impressive and b) I got it for deeply personal reasons that I don't enjoy explaining. But I've been thinking about it a lot this last week or so.

The groove of knitting feels so good to me. I had to put it down as a hobby a while back due to wrist pain, but managed to remember enough of my skills to knit some chain into this piece recently.

A cropped shot of my head and shoulders, wearing a low v neck black top. I'm also wearing a black leather choker with a large silver o ring and a silver triangle of knitted chain dangling down. The knitted chain has small silver knives dangling from the edges.

I took way more photos than I'm sure anyone is interested in seeing, but I have to show these two - the first one is porcelain orbs made by soaking cloth with porcelain slip and then firing until the cloth burns away. The second is the artist's late father's car-exploring communal grief and mourning

A series of very irregular, off white, glowing orbs strung at varying heights in in a line in front of a very weathered brick wall.

An old battered deep red car in a large warehouse space, surrounded by large cloth prints suspended from the roof featuring women in mourning and/or wedding clothes. There are also several CRT TVs stacked on top of the car and beside it, all showing different images of the same mourning women.

I dragged myself out of bed this morning for a day of art appreciation with some friends despite feeling quite low in the ol' social battery, and as usual, I'm so glad I did. I rode two different vintage buses (one double decker), and saw lots of cool art in a super cool building with cool people.

I don't think I'm REALLY good at a lot of things, but I can confidently say I have a knack for using materials and mediums in unexpected ways, like this borderless UV resin pendant.

A frameless blob of clear UV resin suspended by a jump ring embedded in the resin. There are two blue translucent jellyfish suspended in the clear resin and a splash of white sea foam and tiny seashells along the bottom edge.

Went to visit the delightful @kittenmorag.bsky.social tonight for socialisation, and came back with TREASURE! Some pins, a patch, and oh, is that the novelisation of the classic movie HACKERS!? I love that my friends know what I'm going to love so well.

A pile of loose assorted treasure on my bed - a large Art Deco style ACNH Celeste pin, a black cloth patch with a white animal skull design, a small gold ticket shaped pin that says VALID, a pin in the shape of glittery lips, and a paperback copy of the novel of Hackers.

Yes, my hair is a disaster and I probably shouldn't be going out tonight given my brain at the moment, but I applied my black lipstick so perfectly tonight I'm practically OBLIGED to go out and share with everyone how how well I did at this challenging task.

A close-up of my head and shoulders - I'm on a train, wearing a black wool coat, dark eyeshadow, two little half pony tails in my hair, and perfect crisp black lipstick.

I've been on a mission to perfect mimicking nice gooey blood spatter in UV resin and I think these earrings are a big success!

Anwyn@anwyn· May 16

Interesting suggestion, but calling these earrings the "Hong Kong Special" feels a tiny bit racist, lol! I was looking for something fun to name them.

I'm having a lot of fun today perfecting my technique for using UV resin to mimic nice gooey blood and I reckon I've just about got it down with this batch. They're gonna be made into earrings very soon!

Several plastic miniature fake knives half covered in red UV resin to mimic blood splatter.

Had a great night out dancing at a long running local goth night last night, and was very proud of the neck piece I made for the occasion with some chain and a set of doll house knives.
