Things you've made yourself
Damn,
you guys are really skilled with handmade stuff.
Well... I make handmade wooden watches, and they're engraveable. Photos, logos, messages...you name it, we can do it🙂
Here's my website if anybody's interested🙂

(Sorry for not posting pics:p
I'm not sure how to do that on DXPnet)

Man, I learned to arm knit as well. I'll have to get some pics of that stuff and post it.
I made some scarves, a mermaid blanket, and a couple of other blankets. They were gifts, but I do have an awesome teal one that I am absolutely in love with the results of.
There's this that I posted on the front page-
I made coasters as well.
And the holder for it, which I was effing stoked about. So much can potentially go wrong when you make these things, usually in the firing process (things can crack and explode) as well as the glaze not doing what you expected it to do. So when it comes out like you want, it's like OMG LOOK AT THIS SHIT. Haha.

Posted by nikkistarDid you do the ceramics as well or just the decoration? Domo ftw. The Joker artwork is fab.
This kind of @rockyroadicecream and her posting her ceramics, but I want to see all the stuff DXPers have made through the years. I don't care if its art, clothing, furniture. Just post it.
I will start with my stuff.
Is the figure made from resin?
@rockyroadicecream - No, can't say I have made ceramics from scratch. I tend to only use them as a canvas to paint.
The figurine is made of polymer clay 🙂

Posted by OmichronousFind the jpg link and just post the link. Duncan's made it so you don't need to know actual HTML in order to post pics. Just make sure the link is something like www. whatever.com/blahblah.jpg and paste.

For the hair, is that like a premade figure wig of sorts?
I made a horse figurine and I was going to try to attempt fiber like that as the tail but no idea where i'd need to start. Might have to resort to finding something like that and just cutting what I need and figuring it out haha.
Posted by rockyroadicecreamNo, I used a treated and pre-dyed sheeps wool patch from a figurine making vendor I know, and attached it using fabric glue. The hair was the biggest pain in the ass ever.Posted by nikkistarSweet!

Posted by nikkistarI bet. I made a hole for the tail, figured I'd do something and just glue it in there.Posted by rockyroadicecreamNo, I used a treated and pre-dyed sheeps wool patch from a figurine making vendor I know, and attached it using fabric glue.

Posted by OmichronousVery cool. Watchmaking is definitely a skill. I do minor tinkering, but it's nothing major. Just a kit I got so I can change straps, batteries and all that.

Thank you! I really appreciate it. In other forums, I get labelled as a scam artist or fraud because similar watches can be found in Aliexpress.:/

Photography?
These are from my yard. I think I may have posted some of these in the past. I had baby hummingbird pics posted ages ago, but I don't think I've shared these.
These were just shots from my phone and tinkered with in the Prisma app for shits n giggles.
(creative outlets keep me sane. Aries energy ftw)

Woah.
That's some seriously nice photography. I guess I'm just ignorant, but I never Aries were creative...
Guess I should add that to my Aries watch product description shouldn't I...

I'm not sure if ALL are, but high energy people tend to fixate on something to expend that energy. Funnily enough, I have two Aries coworkers who are the same. All three of us bake and bring stuff to work around the holidays or just because. Two of us are uber creative with random stuff. She and I were talking about it and it's just stuff to do because it's fun haha.
Damn I love hummingbirds
I did,,,

Damn I love hummingbirds
I've gotten attached to mine that buzz around. I thought they had all migrated and these crazy fucks are still hanging around, in one of the colder winters Cali has had in a while, no less. Once I realized that they were still here, I put the feeders back out, the poor things.
Now I've got 3 buzzing around my yard again, amongst the giganto flock of Finches who are in love with the seed feeder I put out two months ago. Toss in a California Jay, and some Mourning Doves and you've my aviary of a yard haha.
Posted by AreyoumytwinflameWhat kind of camera do you use?
Some photos I took. No one laff I'm a photo noob.
Posted by Areyoumytwinflame...Canon or Nikon? Nikon tends to use D### vs Canon.Posted by rockyroadicecreamI bought the canon d900 on a whim. (An expensive whim) I probably should have researched a little better but I'm not completely disappointed for an amateur camera. I like bird watching with it but I don't have a tripod yet so all my bird pix are blurry.Posted by AreyoumytwinflameWhat kind of camera do you use?

Nikon hasn't even made a D900 yet, but there is the Coolpix P900.
@Areyoumytwinflame
Btw, if it IS a P900, use the macro setting (flower icon) when taking pics like with butterflies if you want better focus/detail. Super macro won't allow for zooming in, but regular macro will. That's what got me the detail with the humming bird pics. I took those from about 10-15 feet away, zoomed in.

ohhh sooo cute, rocky.
pigs are so adorable. very very nicely done!!! so creative!
A few tile jobs I recently did. The pictures do no justice to the job though because it's hard to take a picture of a whole shower or floor.
This shower sucked bad. It was all glass tile, and set piece by piece.
The floor with hexogons. It was super hard to do.
Kitchen floor. It looks like wood but it's ceramic tile.
Upstairs floor
Last job I did. Jobs like this are considered basic.
