I made myself an “early access” Trickster because I’m impatient Melissa Dawn Makes 2024-03-19 | I've never been as excited about a specific vocation or class as I am for the Trickster in Dragon's Dogma 2! The world and the characters look so amazing, and I really liked all the vocations's outfits. I really wanted to play with the Trickster, but I'm only a casual gamer and will never be on the super-special-early-access lists, so I grabbed a Monster High Doll, repainted her face, and made a mini cosplay of the Trickster! Why a MINI cosplay? Because I live in a tiny apartment and real size cosplay takes a LOT of space. Especially because I am a messy crafter.The inspiring doll customizers I mentioned!@Dollightful @etellan @MoonlightJewel @CatmeleonStudio @Enchanterium ☕Want to buy me a coffee? buymeacoffee.com/melissadawnmakesLinks:👉Instagram: instagram.com/melissadawnmakes👉TikTok: tiktok.com/@melissadawnmakesIf you want to use the materials I tried, please consider using the affiliate links below!Art SuppliesSculpey Firm - amzn.to/3Wk0z9oSuper Glue - amzn.to/3sU3UyxArteza Acrylic Paints - amzn.to/3SHjXtYFolk Art Treasure Gold - amzn.to/3tzxdKsChalkboard Paint - amzn.to/49Ql7MZClay Sculpting tools - amzn.to/3TJDoDsSilicone Mold Putty - amzn.to/3vn5dafGlow-in-the-dark Acrylic Paints - amzn.to/3U4OClOLabel Maker - amzn.to/4cqPY4jNail Brushes - amzn.to/49YbbAVGearSony ZV-E10 - amzn.to/49Ql7MZSmallRig Quick Release Plate - amzn.to/4ckuG8DSmallRig Ballhead - amzn.to/3IMPaJDLights - amzn.to/491B81iCamera Arm - amzn.to/3vfw9fN🎼Music Used: Watch Me Burn - Harris HellerClimax - Harris HellerVibrant Adventures - Harris HellerHoney Juice - Harris HellerRoyal Orchard - Harris HellerPalace Walkways - Harris HellerNature’s Caress - Harris HellerRain ad Vibe - Harris HellerTequila Night - Harris HellerGlow Worm - Harris HellerStarry Night - Harris Heller

Can a DIY phone jail help me escape from doomscrolling? Melissa Dawn Makes 2024-01-01 | In this video, I’m going to refer to “the act of infinite scrolling with bad mental health outcomes” as “doomscrolling.” Even if the term originated from endless scrolling through negative news, there’s a lot of doom just in the act of scrolling forever, so I’m just going to lump them together for simplicity.

Woodcarving Illusion: Creating a Polymer Clay Lightswitch Cover with Tet-inspired Apricot Blossoms Melissa Dawn Makes 2023-01-22 | Welcome to the first video of 2023 and Happy Lunar New Year! This video is a little bit of a different crafting video, for once, I'm making something useful! It's time to customize this light switch plate. This will be a gift for a friend of mine and I wanted to create something inspired by Vietnam. Vietnam is such an incredibly beautiful and culturally rich country, so there was a lot to choose from! Since it's a light switch cover, I wanted to make sure it would fit in my friend's home, so I went with a faux carved wood look featuring hoa mai (yellow apricot) flowers. Apricot trees and blossoms are a big part of Tet, so this felt like a great gift idea. I hope my friend likes it!Here's a really interesting article I read about the differences between celebrations in the north vs the south - saigoneer.com/saigon-culture/12630-illustrations-battle-of-the-tet-traditions-hanoians-vs-saigoneers☕Want to buy me a coffee? buymeacoffee.com/melissadawnmakesIf you want to use the materials I tried, please consider using the affiliate links below!Main Materials Used:Sculpey Medium: amzn.to/3WOPUCNLiquid Sculpey: amzn.to/3Dhz3QTClay Sculpting tools: amzn.to/44ktbCSArteza Acrylic Paints: amzn.to/3SHjXtYLino Carving Kit: amzn.to/3vn5dafSilicone Mold Putty: amzn.to/3vn5daf Matte Mod Podge: amzn.to/3vkP1Xb 🎼Music Used: Adiantum Leaves - Harris HellerBlankets - Harris HellerGallant - Harris HellerCrevasse - Harris HellerLinks:👉Instagram: instagram.com/melissadawnmakesFree Stock Footage: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7MS...stockdom.com @STOCKDOM#diygift #fauxbois

Hand Sewing Luna Lovegoods Dress | Miniature Harry Potter fan art Melissa Dawn Makes 2022-04-16 | I’m trying something old, but new! I’ve hand sewed a lot in the past, but I haven’t hand sewed anything in years.

It was a lot of fun to pick up a skill I haven’t used in a long time, and I definitely want to do more clothes and get better at sewing on a miniature scale!

Sculpting Basculegion from Pokemon Legends: Arceus | Polymer clay figure Melissa Dawn Makes 2022-03-18 | I recently picked up Pokemon Legends: Arceus and I had a really great time with it! I loved the open world aspect and really enjoyed the complexity of completing the pokedex. I haven't quite reached 100% on the Pokedex yet, but I had to take a break to create one of my favorite new Pokemon, Basculegion! I've never really been a Basculin fan, but I love the design of both the male and female Basculegion. He also had a simpler design than my last project, the Behemoth, so it was a great little break to sculpt something sleek!☕Want to buy me a coffee? buymeacoffee.com/melissadawnmakesIf you want to use the materials I tried, please consider using the affiliate links below!
