Letters








I made these a sketchbook and a half ago. I got the Cricut air 2 and was looking for stuff to upload and came across these. My favorite medium is acrylic but in a drawing class I discovered that I couldn't erase with ink and took less time as I'd still be working on these years later if given the opportunity to keep picking at them.

These are just the newest ones.






Make it stop








You can sleep when you're dead.





Scrounging through artwork.







I can't stop.

Badges




Magnets

I made these to start with using resin until one dropped on the kitchen floor and shattered. I asked the Maker group for suggestions and one recommended Smooth Cast 300 which I'd used in the past and I don't know why I didn't think of it. It comes in a 2 part urethane. Some I then hand painted and some got spray painted with metallic bronze. I used the resin rejects to bribe a department at work for some inventory info, I sent and email asking with a picture offering them to the first 5 people who responded. Usually they'd ignore this type of request, I had a response within 2 minutes and as I was wondering out loud how long it would take him to come get a magnet he walked in the door to claim one. Impressive. I told his boss I thought they'd all give up state secrets for just a little bit more swag. I also had a few people bragging that they already had these... nope.



They were part of a work holiday party give away. By the end the guy in charge was tossing them into the crowd, he threw one back over his shoulder and it hit the ceiling. I have no doubt it left a dent.
