You aren’t going anywhere, so it’s never been a better time for a SEPTA token craft!
I’ve seen many cute earrings online with tokens, but unfortunately cannot pull off big danglies due to my glasses. It feels like too much stuff is hanging off my head.

Because I moved to West Philly in 2016, I never got to go to the old Million Dollars discount shop which was on the corner of 52nd and Baltimore. I pass the building every day, though. I love the name, I love the font, and no disrespect to ghost signs intended, I love the saturation.

Made for my friend Moe, this delicate necklace features a Preiser figure that I’ve painted like a zombie. Continue reading Zombie Cameo Necklace
I’m a sucker for plastic bugs, so I actually purchased these (and primed with white paint) during the halloween season.
Love love love these bizarre candlesticks that IKEA has as an LTO. I used it as inspo for a craft night, which, as you can see, went really well.
