We're a wife and husband team of crafty folks that do everything from crochet, to pour painting, to painting up little war dollies. Thanks for stopping by and check us out on Etsy =) https://bloomxblight.etsy.com

Two painted skeleton models suitable for DnD or whatever TTRPG floats your boat. One wields a sword, the other a pick.
Crochet sheep (black face, white wool) standing on a white hydrangea flower cluster and surrounded by other white hydrangea flower clusters.
Crocheted 5-petal flower in pink on a crochet hook with a green background
An Abaddon the Despoiler model from Warhammer 40000, rotating on pedestal. He's wearing an egregiously large suit of black terminator plate with gold trim. His red topknot blows in the wind and he's standing atop an ultramarine whose soul has gone to the warp. That's Chaos for ya.
Three crochet bees with plates of flowers and a blue cornflower in the center.
Process steps of making red felt hearts lying on a pale blanket. Clockwise from top left are: sheets of red felt, felt scraps from the process, squares of red felt, a small pair of blue-handled scissors, a pile of red hearts ready to go into the stuffed animals.
A pretend little building. The building is made of rainbow-sheen stone on the bottom, and has a deck on the roof. A crochet duck wearing a crochet blue visor stands on the deck. A crochet beagle's snout can just barely be seen within. A crochet grey cat peeps around the back corner of the building. There is a beach scene in the background.

Portion of an abstract painting that suggests a feather in the wind. Feather is done in pinks and blues with metallic copper accents. Flecks of blue and pink extend into the negative white space on the left.
10 Fellgor Beastmen models from Warhammer 40000. They all have very active poses and carry distinct gear. There's even a guy with a gas grenade. I think he might be my favorite. Praise Chaos!
Crochet bees and mushroom fairies gathered around a clear plate of flowers.
Abstract painting in blues and greens with color-changing metallic copper/purple. Bubbly and billowing.

A chaos knight, sprayed with blood, strides through a crater pooled with (you guessed it) blood.
10 Warhammer beastmen just primed, dry brushed, and with some fur blocked out. Each pose is unique and full of action. These are the kill team versions and the extra sprue add tons of cool details.
Crocheted dinosaurs on a red and white checked picnic blanket enjoying fresh veggies and fruits (watermelon, corn, cabbage, peppers) and some alfalfa.
Crocheted brontosaurs in rose pink and sky blue. The sky blue one has a keychain.
Crochet bee in a large clump of pale purple phlox.
These are my first Space Wolves. I found my experience with Death Guard to be invaluable as finding all the tooth trinkets on these guys is strangely similar to the game of find the maggots on a Plague Marine. I struggled a bit at times but I'm very pleased with how the army painter's cobalt metal and true brass paints worked out here. Also, some of the hairstyles in this kit are amazing.
Several mini crochet animals (dinosaurs, beagle dogs, a bee, a pig, a butterfly) in the grass by a red barn with a green roof, just enjoying the day.
The whole team… Five space wolves and a wolf the size of a space wolf. They just have base coats for armor and a first pass at fur coloration on the doggo. Their faces and hair are blocked out as well.
Crocheted yellow duck with a crochet blue visor sitting next to a ceramic heart shaped pond.
Abstract pour painting in reds and blues, with lots of cells.
Crochet animals relaxing in the sun on the sand. The grey cat is wearing a yellow sun hat and sitting in a pink beach chair. The yellow duck is wearing a blue visor and sitting in a blue beach chair. The yellow cat is lying on its back on a pink and white striped towel.
Five Tyranid Raveners, painted in greens and browns. They are feisty with huge claws and toxic spit. The sculpts are very intricate in spots and some of the models are posed erupting from the ground.
Five Tyranid Raverers (I think they are the hyper adaptive flavor) painted in greens and earth tones. These guys burrow so I felt like a scheme that felt woodsy would be fun.
A grey crochet cat and a yellow crochet cat (wearing a yellow sunhat), in a pink speedboat, in blue water, with a yellow crochet duck (wearing a blue visor) driving.
Crochet yellow lemon with a green leaf. Face is content with closed eyes and small V smile on a red-and-white checkered cloth
Green, green-eyed crochet cat under a tangle of green yarn to the left. On the right is a crocheted tricolor beagle pulling on one end of the yarn.
A green, green-eyed crochet cat partially hidden in a tangle of green yarn standing on a green cloth.
A crochet lemon sitting on top of yarn at a store.
Crocheted yellow lemon on a rack of yarn at the store.
A crochet lemon with two eyes and a smile sitting on top of several skeins of yarn in a display at a craft store.
Abstract painting in green, blue, and white, with some purples and aquas. The painting is diagonally divided roughly top/left and bottom/right. Left is predominantly greens and some blues; Right is predominantly blues and whites.
A grey-and-white crochet cat and a yellow crochet duck stand facing each other. The duck sits on a painted 'pond' which is surrounded by brown bits simulating mulch. There is a photo in the background of moss-covered rocks.
Some Necron Scarabs, a bag of green, translucent tesseract bits, and a Scarab model with the bits added. It is a simple formula for making Necron miniature bases look cool.
A blue junimo, a white cat, and two red triceratops walk into a garden party....each one is crocheted.
A tyranid model from Warhammer 40K. It’s a work in progress showing a nascent color scheme of greens and browns.
Two crochet dinosaurs; on the left is a triceratops, on the right is a brontosaur. They are handmade in colors to mimic a watermelon (red with black 'seeds', pink, lighter green, darker green stripes.
Video shows me crocheting a small sheep while sitting outside. I'm working my way through making the loops of the sheep's wool one at a time using white yarn. The only sounds in the audio are an air conditioner and some birds chirping. At the end, I turn the sheep so the viewer can see its face.
Portion of an abstract painting in color change paint with metallic copper/purple. Bubbling effect in blue, green, purple, copper, white.
Going green and earthy for these. Still need to do a lot of cleanup before I get to the details. I meandered a bit to get to a base scheme I’m happy with (as I often do) so there’s lots of spots with vestigial moments of “this might be cool… oh, no it’s not”.
Beige crochet mushroom fairy with pink and purple cap and pink wings in a small wicker basket next to a pink cosmos flower.
Abstract painting--bottom left is monochrome black and white, with a plant/flowery appearance. Across the top and down the right is an abstract rainbow in counterpoint
Lord Felthius and the Tainted Cohort. Or these days Lord of Contagion and Blightlord Terminators. These Warhammer40k models are painted in a bloody scheme and the red really pops against the green. Blood is a great transmitter of disease and I think it is all too rare to see Death Guard with a good amount of blood in the works. Just because Khornites say "Blood! Blood! Blood!" doesn't mean they own the stuff. Nurgle gets down with blood too. The leader here has a wonderful, mirthful smile. He's happy doing Papa Nurgle's work. His bodyguards are definitely up to the task, sporting sick weapons and heaps of overgrowth.
Three crochet sheep with large eyes standing on a red and white checked cloth in front of foliage and grass.
Six crocheted sheep. 5 (2 larger ewes and 3 smaller lambs) have black heads and white fleece; one lamb (bottom left) has a black head and black fleece (the black sheep of the group). The crocheted sheep are standing in the grass, posed as if grazing on pasture. In the center-top of the grass is a pair of pink, 5-petal wildflowers.
Three crochet lemons on an olive green fuzzy blanket. They each have a different facial expression. Top left lemon has a smile under the two black eyes. Top right lemon has a little smile between its eyes. Bottom center lemon has a sour face with closed eyes > < and a pinched mouth ^. All three lemons have a green leaf attached at one end.
Picture of a small crocheted cat in multiple shades of green (olive face/ears/tail/feet; light and dark green speckled body. The cat is standing on a white stone surface next to a white azalea flower with purple phlox in the background.
A transparent resin base with the symbol of Khorne within. It's 40mm across, so you could slap Khârn on this thing and send him off to wreck shop. If you're handy with a model drill you could turn this into a pretty sweet necklace.
Abstract painting in greens and purples with white accents. Artist signature in bottom right corner.
A kit bash of the the Roboute Guilliman kit and Daemon Prince kit from Warhammer 40000. Everything has been desecrated in keeping with his devotion to Nurgle. The armor is corroded and sports a much more chaotic filigree with dirty bronzes and coppers rather than gold. The Emperor's Sword glows an eerie green (which glows under blacklight!). A plague spewer now replaces his little machine gun gauntlet so he can spray his former allies with filth. He sprouted wings! Oh, what pleasant gifts from Papa Nurgle. His head has mutated as well... into a rat ogre head, because, well, I though it looked cool.
