Star Trek Delta Shield | LGBT Pride

This weekend marked London Pride, the UK's largest event celebrating diversity and equality for our LGBT+ community.

Star Trek Pride Delta by Sam Lewis AKA The Crippled Crafer | LGBT+

As a member of the LGBT+ community myself, and of course a huge Star Trek fan, I combined the two in order to create this LGBT+ Pride Star Trek Delta!

3D Art Journaling | PLANT POT

Firstly I want to apologise for being so absent. Crafting has slowed down for me of late.

But I'm still here and definitely still crafting, just slower and doing more long projects.

So today I have a large plant pot to show you. This pot had been dropped and broken. It had great sentimental value to us so I repaired it with epoxy resin and have it a facelift with acrylic paints!

After painting I sealed it with several costs of a clear spray paint suitable for outdoor use.
