Thanks for taking a gander!

Making a Chicken Wire Art Display
Hi there! In this video, I'm going to show you how I made a rustic 3-panel room divider that I needed so I would have something to hang my framed art on at a fine arts show. This project is an amazingly versatile start to any woodworking journey and can be scaled up or down to fit any dimensions you want! You could even make a mini version of this chicken wire display to hang on your wall. No matter your skill level, you can grab some scrap wood and put together an adorable piece all on your own, so let's get started!
I referenced Fix This Build That's video on making picture frames, which can be found here: https://youtu.be/pYapIIF0FtU?si=he0D9ZBHtV0Hy_jC

I made a bomber jacket inspired by Fallout
This week, let's explore the world of Fallout in preparation for the new Amazon Prime show by bringing the iconic Vault Dweller suit to life through the art of sewing. In this video, I'll guide you through the step-by-step process of creating the jacket from scratch, paying attention to every detail and ensuring an accurate representation of the post-apocalyptic style. This will be one for the record books, as I try lots of new techniques - installing a zipper, including a batting lining to make the jacket warm, and making a jacket from scratch. Get ready to unleash your creativity and step into the world of Fallout with this epic sewing project!

An update on the Bee temporary tattoos (which are now available!): I turned the water in my shower hot for a couple seconds so it would be set to the right temp for the next person. As a result, some of the black on the tattoo stripped away. Otherwise, while I was taking my normal room temp shower, the temporary tattoo was holding up pretty well.
These didn't come with instructions, which is why I'm wearing one to test them out. This way, I can tell my customers what to look out for!
What I've found out:
-Application time is between 1-2 minutes
-Do not wash in hot water. Room temp is fine.
-Expect to last approximately 3 days if cared for properly.
Thanks for taking a gander!

What I would do differently with the resin potion bottles I made two years ago | UB Draws

Making a Free Little Library from upcycled thrift store cabinets | UB Draws
In this video, I take two old cabinets I found at a thrift store and transform them into a charming Free Little Library. The video showcases the step-by-step process of refurbishing the cabinets, from replacing the glass in one cabinet to shearing a portion of the other so the two could fit together. With a focus on sustainability and reuse, this is how you can repurpose thrift store finds to create a unique and functional community library. I can't wait to introduce my community to this "Free Little Art Library" - made to swap art supplies rather than books - this coming spring!

I tried carpentry for the first time | UB Builds Her First Cabinet
My partner, Nathaniel, is such a cool human being and he deserves to have a functioning workshop where he can tinker and play! In pursuit of this, I decided to try my hand at carpentry or woodworking for the first time and make a cabinet for him. Inspired by Hack My Home on Netflix, I went on a secret adventure to surprise Nathaniel with the cabinet this summer.

I've done about 12 craft shows this year! That means I met one of my goals - to do at least 10 shows in a year. Now, I know that I can't expect to make a living off of only 10 shows. That's all part of the learning process! Thanks so much for coming along for the ride!

I made a mimic chest for my polyhedral dice - UB Makes a Dice Vault
In this video, I show you how I sculpted a mimic treasure chest from scratch to store and showcase a polyhedral dice collection. From designing the chest to molding and painting it, I'll take you through every step of the process. The chests even have a touch of humor by incorporating a tongue and teeth into the design, giving it an eerie, yet playful twist.

Vetting Art & Craft Shows and Story Time on My Summer
Where have I been? I tried doing craft shows and art fairs this summer! It was a really tough journey, but I learned some things along the way about red flags you can look for when you're considering what shows to invest your time and money in.
I also want to acknowledge that my failure at specific shows and at doing these shows as a career isn't all due to outside forces; my art has a very niche market and I chose some of my market opportunities poorly as it pertains to my niche. There's a lot of reasons this business model didn't work for me and I hope newbies in the vendor fair circuit can have an easier time than I did.

DURABILITY - An unintended consequence of using paper-based clay to make my mushroom jars is that they can take a bit of clumsiness. Of course, we try not to drop these screw-top gems, as their bases are recycled glass jars, but accidents happen - and these jars have proven their heartiness!
Get one now online or come see me at Stevens Point Art in the Park this coming Saturday, September 16th!
