I'll eventually make all the little critters from Alice in Wonderland, but I started with these two.

The Rocking Horse Fly started with Breyer horse toys that I painted in fun colors. I made the wings out of UV resin. The rocker is 3 coffee stirrers, copper wire, UV resin, and rhinestones. 

The Bread-and-Butter Fly started as 2 kitchen sponges that I cut into bread slice shapes then Mod Podge'd so

A friend gifted me the bones, I found the thorns in a rock quarry, I had the jewelry findings in my stash, and the plaque came from the stash of a friend who had recently passed away.

I guess this is what happens when you craft in a fugue state?

This customer and her mother raise rabbits and show them at the local Four-H club. She asked me to make a Four-H rabbit keyring for her mother.

The rabbit is hand-sculpted from Apoxie Sculpt and painted with acrylics. The clover is green UV resin with holographic gold H's in each leaf, completed with a wire stem that the rabbit holds. I coated the whole thing in UV resin for added durability.

I still had this jawbone and some honey locust thorns left over from that skull plaque project. 

I combined them together with wire wrapping, stone beads, and other findings to make jewelry for a couple friends of mine. They're really into the Post-Apocalyptic Cosplay scene so they fit well with their style and interests.

I made my own Wreath Monster from The Nightmare Before Christmas. 

I wrapped pine garland at the base of the wreath, then ran a set of green LED lights through the whole thing. I hot glued the battery pack behind where the garland joins the wreath and stuck a big red bow over all the hot glue.

The eyes are a clear plastic light bulb ornament that I cut in half. I painted the inside with acrylic pain

Nibbles noms on our flawed dice at conventions.

I glued premade and handmade eyes to an off-the-shelf treasure chest. 

The teeth are made of Apoxie Sculpt. 

The wrinkly skin texture and the uvula are all hot glue. 

The tongue is an aluminum foil armature wrapped in Apoxie Sculpt, airbrushed, and coated in UV resin. 

The membranes that hold the mouth open are styrene and Velcro. 

I airbrushed everythin
