Arts & Crafts: A Rolling Thread

I actually posted my last craft in the knitting thread too as didn’t want to keep spamming this one. Think you’d like it @wileycat - based on our beautiful great grey owl Oulu!

So far this year, I’ve mainly been working on my big puppetry project. Not sure if I’d share much more of that in here though, like to keep it mostly to myself until I really get a handle on what it is.

Aside from that, I’ve been designing some games! They work well over Zoom, so are mainly digital for now, but am going to print and box a couple of them soon for post-pando-family-fun! I made my first one (based on an existing design) early last year:

My favourite of my own designs is a sort reverse Scattergories, the catchy subtitle should more or less explain the concept. :slight_smile: :

We very sadly lost the goodest of all good boys just before Christmas. Here’s my little portrait of him I made for my parents and sister. :heart:

Simple two-player stacking game. :slightly_smiling_face:

Rules:
Only the player with the dark pieces can score - they try to build as high as possible. The player with the light ‘point’ pieces tries to sabotage by stacking them awkwardly. The dark player can ‘bank’ the points and end the round by successfully placing the head piece on top. Double points if your stack survives a “Tumblin’ Tony Tail Twang!”

Made with beech, some felt and a spring!

Haha, I’m SO bad at that side of things. Would happily just give the concept over to someone else to do all that sort of stuff for me. Always much more excited about what’s new and next!

Here’s one of the final films from my main personal project. :heart::telescope::heart:

Also added little sneak peek behind-the-scenes. :sparkles:

You can follow the whole project over on my insta: Rangus ⊙—⊙ (@hellorangus) • Instagram photos and videos

(Think this is a somewhat dead thread, feel a bit silly always posting, but thought I’d share anyway. :upside_down_face:)

I think it’s only “dead” in that we’ve got other threads in use for some crafts, so don’t feel silly posting in here!

Haha, okay that’s reassuring to hear. Will keep spamming! :wink:

Just did like 16 lino prints and think I’ll need a fortnight for my shoulders to recover :see_no_evil:

Wasn’t even trying to do print quality pressing, so was going quite quickly and not pressing down so much but JFC I’d forgotten how hard it was. Wonder if the baren makes much difference (never going to do it enough to need a proper press)?

Just finished building my new portable woodwork bench. So happy with how it turned out! So excited about what it will allow me to do! :blush:

Should say, based on this excellent design!:
