im not gonna post any pics because it isnt pretty/i already ate it:
I made hard candy recently for my sisters wedding by boiling:
1/4 cup water
sugar
light syrup or maple syrup
and then you add a flavor and color mix once it reaches hard crack stage heat (test by dropping spoonful into water and seeing if it becomes hard and brittle, around 315 degrees fahrenheit when read on a thermometer).
then you carefully pour into molds, add sticks if making a lollipop .
if you ever attempt this be very careful as burns from sugar heated to hard crack stage can leave permanent blemishing (this is one way people brand people in prisons)
other crafts i did for her wedding were flower arrangements in a partially submerged style:
like this
the main other craft i do these days is making soap and fragrances (perfume).
tl;dr

yes it should work just as well with honey. once again i remind you to be careful and set-up mindfully before you make this, put down newspaper or something under the molds, etc. you have to stir the mixture with a wooden spoon as it heats on the stove, i left that part out, so i just want to make it explicit.

I want that pillow so badly ;-;
im glad you like it but it's not for sale
So my school has a jewelry class so I took it and I love it
On the top left is just a classic sterling silver band ring made with 4 gauge low dome wire, on the bottom left is a twist wire ring made of sterling silver wire which I believe is 12 gauge, and on the right is a few links from a ball chain bracelet made from fine silver (it’s much easier to work with because it’s softer).
I mostly took the class because I had a space in my schedule I needed to fill but I loved it so much I’m taking the second part of the class next trimester. This is only 3 of the 4 I’ve completed (my younger sister has a wire wrap ring I made, I’ve just been giving them to my mom and sisters) and I have a few more I need to finish soon but it’s a lot of fun! I wish I could do it at home but I don’t have an acetylene torch or a rotary polisher or any of the tools haha.
Expect more to come!

Am I right though?
I'm currently obsessed with loom knitting.
I found out that loom knitting helps me sleep better at night. (I used to have really bad insomnia)
Here are some plush I've knitted.

that pillow in particular was made w/ fabric which i don't think i could get more of
i would sell something similar, though if i wanted to make a reasonable amount of money id have to sell it for like 50 dollars if not more (shipping included) which is an unreasonable price for a pillow cover
Damn that's a shame. Could you give me a step by step? This is a beautiful piece.
the pretty colors are due to the nice fabric. If you just want to make a pillow, just google how to sew a pillow. I'm sure you'll find tutorials better than I could have explained it.
