What do you make? Handcrafted / Handmade / Made with Love

Pics
R2elk, I have a similar problem. I've made plenty of things over the years but only have a few photos. I make most of my "crafts" for Yule as present to my loved ones.

Here's some gemstone soaps I made last year. Have like 3 of these floating around still.

Made these simple burned wood slice ornaments a year or two before that.

Digging deep now. Rabbit fur slippers, I raised the rabbits, tanned the hides and made the slippers myself.

I had a picture of some plushies I made from years ago but no longer it would seem.
So many more items have passed through my hands to others without a single snap. Jewelry, dice bags, clothing and costumes.... Candles and crocheted snails and sculpted ornaments and figurines. Most of it I don't photograph. Just trying to get it done and out to friends.
 
A few years ago we made these egg shaped candles with ceramic dragon beads in them so when the candle burned down you got a lil baby dragon from it. We also did one for a pal that was a normal egg with an owl inside, one that was a ball of yarn with a cat inside, and one that was a precious moments face with a demon skull inside. XD Some things are easier to customize than others.
 
I have done many crafts over the years from leather work to wood carvings and even a bronze. They have all been given away over the years without any photos having been taken.

I'm actually pretty bad about taking pictures of my crafts as well or they get deleted from my piles of pictures by accident when I try organizing them all.

I bet bunny fur slippers are sooo soft!

Those sound fun! I've only made really simple poured candles myself.
 
This is my project right now. Since I'm laid off for the winter, I'm building my stockpile of saddles up for next year. This year was hard, working then coming home and making saddles all evening. I'm hoping to get ahead this time finally. Then again, every year that I think that, I never have enough. There's about 230 saddles worth of fabric in this stack... almost half of what I sold just in this size this year! It's going to be a busy winter!

Then a couple weeks ago I got a request for a silkie sweater. It took a lot of trial and error but this was the result. The silkie in the picture is not mine. She was the one that it was made for. It ended up being a little bit big (my model apparently was chunkier) but they said they want to fatten her up anyway lol.

I just got a request for a BIG sweater... for a broad breasted turkey! That should be fun and interesting! I'll be busy for the rest of the week for sure! They said they don't have a color preference... what color do you all think would look good on her? This is her. I made the belly guard that she's wearing in the picture so I have an idea already on sizing, I'm just not sure what color.

Wooow that's a lot of saddles! :eek:
The Silkie sweater is adorable! With the turkey being white you could use any colors really. Maybe purple or gray?

I love the soap gems!! :love And the slice ornaments are also terrific! I've done some elaborate pinecones, but have always wanted to do some slices like yours.

Bunny feet... how do those wear? Warm I bet!
