Making a Miniature Coraline Tunnel but Badly

[@midnighthobbies3220]

What passionate attempts at crafts have gone awry for you? Let me know! :D

[@mijelly2262]

I once did the Mario plant, mostly out of paper mashe ..mache? Paper glue water mix ... And there was a thick wire in the stem, yet the head was too heavy and the plant always looked to the ground in a defeated manner. It was still cute tho

[@midnighthobbies3220]

@@mijelly2262 I love a crafting error that can be played off as a character choice. I think that might even be my speciality

Don't beat yourself up so much, it look great mate. Can't wait to see the pink palace apartments😊

[@midnighthobbies3220]

Definitely a well deserved learning experience that I'm glad happened at least! Thank you man :D

[@CrimzonLizard]

You won't always like how every project turns out. What matters is that you learn and understand why you don't like it, what went wrong, what you could have done, and what you would change going forward. Don't let it get you down. You are still learning, and I know that it will only get better!

[@midnighthobbies3220]

Most certainly! Very much why I wanted to make the video, mistakes are such a wonderful part of being human that I just had to share. Thank you! :))

[@Praxicaeon]

I'm still so hyped I found this channel. Always love when there's new uploads

[@midnighthobbies3220]

I'm glad you found it too! Thank you :D

[@mijelly2262]

I think it looks really good and I am proud of you for seeing what you consider to be mistakes so you know what to do next time... Tho I have to admit I was just looking for a coraline craft to do for a bday present for a friend. So thank you for the great inspiration ^^

Can’t wait for the pink palace build!!!

[@midnighthobbies3220]

Still working on the courage, but me too :)

[@AwkwardBirb]

Aw, unexpectedly wholesome ending! Thanks for posting this even if you weren’t crazy about the outcome- making mistakes and learning from them is, I’d argue, the most important skill for a crafter to have. ❤

[@midnighthobbies3220]

Exactly why I wanted to share it. One of my most favourite mistakes and proud of it. Thank you! :D

[@justava9367]

I think it turned out wonderful!! ❤ Remember that art isnt always supposed to be perfect, its supposed to make u feel something and give urself another accomplishment. Love your work!!

[@midnighthobbies3220]

Thank you so much! And very much like it now for how perfectly imperfect it is :D

Ended up looking so good. I’m always down to see some dry brush magic

Thanks! Thinking I might even make a super cut of dry brushing one day. It truely has my unconditional love :D

[@topazmaymemory2982]

No one can make something perfect every time. As it is it looks fine and is better than what most people could do. As some guy named adam once said. “Its not just good, Its good enough.”

[@midnighthobbies3220]

Truely words to live by. Thank you so much :)

[@Hana1LuLu]

I can see what you mean about what you would change and wished for. Regardless, I think it’s fantastic. And I _LOVE_ that you’re embracing it! I just learned to do that myself recently, as I’m experimenting with using watercolors. We’re genuinely figuring it out as we go, and while we can see where it could have gone better and why, we can still be satisfied with the end product because it serves as a bookmark of our progress 😊 My constructive critique would be to have added some pink in the tunnel, to break it up and mimic the movie even more, perhaps add a touch more of white to combat the natural shadows, too. I think the way you did the wall could have been improved by adding walls and a ceiling in a fake way, not fully like the Chucky film frame but flatter to help draw the eye down towards the door. I really do think that’s all that would be needed and leaving it a 2d effect would enhance the depth of the tunnel! That said, I’m not recommending you go back to change it because it’s awesome and I love it and you should be proud!! Once again, I’m IN LOVE with your textures, you make it look so effortless to mimic and the wallpaper is CLEAN (even it dirt, in an ironic way)! 💌

[@midnighthobbies3220]

Thank you so much! And the feedback is greatly appreciated, definitely on and up from here :))

[@Hana1LuLu]

@@midnighthobbies3220 I only dared to give constructive feedback, because for me, people saying they love something I made while entirely ignoring all the aspects that could be better makes me feel like they aren't actually seeing my creation as it actually is, and their praise feels a little more shallow. I think your work is worthy of much praise, and this should be acknowledged for it's entirety.

[@midnighthobbies3220]

@@Hana1LuLu Most definitely. I find some people aren't hungry enough to divulge all the nitty gritty of art to find the best version it can possibly be, so I relate immensely. Thank you :)

Eye-bowl was unfortunately reduced to a minor role this time round, but it'll have more spotlight in the future. Don't you worry :)

[@Lilguybondo]

@@midnighthobbies3220 glad to hear it looked like the eye bowl had gotten attacked anyway so it needs its rest

[@Now4elevensies]

I still think it came out great! It would look dope almost as like a book nook on a shelf of Gaiman novels.

[@midnighthobbies3220]

Glad you think so! And Film Frames are definitely an interpretation of Book Nooks so it is for sure gonna make its way between my copies of The Graveyard Book and The Ocean at the End of the Lane :)

[@jaycooke84]

Due to the title I wasn't expecting much. But it's another fantastic piece, just took those last few details on the wall to turn it all around.

[@midnighthobbies3220]

I've found weathering to be the hack to hiding those dirty little secrets :)

[@jaycooke84]

@midnighthobbies3220 for sure, I've been crafting with polymer clay and recently started with a 3d pen too. It's the finish that hides the sins. Haha keep up the good work... or hiding the bad work. :)

[@Lee-Dixon1987]

Every project is a learning process, my friend. Still a blast to watch the creative process. One thing that I think may have helped with your lighting and depth could've been a single led light near the middle to back of the rings, set down beneath the edge of the rings. Could've added some pop to the overall dynamic of the tunnel. Overall, though, I love the homage to a great, creepy story. God bless.

[@midnighthobbies3220]

A learning process indeed, and would take that instead of smooth sailing any day. And thanks for the suggestion! I did contemplate lights at one point but thought it might’ve brought out the lesser qualities of the tunnel haha. Thanks as always :)

[@Lee-Dixon1987]

@Midnight Hobbies I agree completely. The most memorable projects for me have always been the ones that took some head scratching to figure out.

[@nevs_.]

This is really cool

[@midnighthobbies3220]

Thank you, I’m glad you think so! :D

[@suzumabachi]

Do you think if you added fairy lights in the crevices, it would work? It might help to illuminate it and make the tunnel look more colorful. But idk anything lol

[@midnighthobbies3220]

I did contemplate lights and or mirrors originally for the tunnel, but I guess in retrospect the lights may have just highlighted the unnatural texture of the tunnel haha. But love the suggestion, thank you! :D

[@NerdWithABeard]

Once again, not sure what the voice at the end was, but it did say "wHaT aRe YoU??" Anyways, this looked really nice! From the thumbnail, I genuinely thought you used tissue paper to line the tunnel, so it definitely worked on me XD Take care, & I can't wait to see what you could possibly be hinting towards next! Also, in terms of crafts that have gone awry... I had once tried making a Fallout 4 Pip-Boy out of styrofoam gas station soda cups. They had the right shape for the cuff, so I decided to go for it. It was going well until I got to 1. Creating the latch, & 2. Applying paper maché. The plan was to make the latch, apply paper maché, & paint it. The cool part was that the little dongle on the back was able to detach, & there was also a hidden slot to slide my phone in to use the Pip-Boy app. However, the latch was too flimsy with the amount of sections it had, so I sacrificed one section to make a slightly less flimsy (but still very flimsy & fragile) latch. The final mistake was the paper maché. I tried using the grocery store advert we would get in the mail as the paper maché paper, & it just created a hard to apply, easy to peel outter layer. I eventually gave up & never touched it again until it eventually was destroyed as if the nuclear fallout actually got to it. Tbh I wanna make it again, but with proper reference with a Spirit Halloween Pip-Boy (once I can get one) & more time/experience to work from.

[@midnighthobbies3220]

Thank you so much. And ooft, yeah, I’ve had a rocky history with paper maché myself so I understand the struggle. Thank you for sharing though! :D

I REALLY love Coraline, it's easily in my top 5 fav movies. I'm really enjoying the film frame series you got going on too I think it's a creative idea and I can't wait to see what other movies you plan on doing! Also always a nice reminder that people are human and make mistakes, reminds me not everything I do needs to be perfect 100% of the time so I really appreciate you uploading something you see as a fail. Keep up the good work!!

[@midnighthobbies3220]

Very human indeed. I think it's good for us to relish in the wonderful world of mistakes. And glad you like the film frames! I also love Coraline, so I think that's whats leading the hesitation for the Pink Palace build. Couldn't bear to disappoint! Thanks so much for watching! :D

[@MortalMercury]

Really? You made it this way? I thought this project was begging for you to use an infinite mirror trick to make it very very deep

[@midnighthobbies3220]

I did consider this but decided I wanted to see the end of the tunnel instead of an endless abyss. Would love to tackle a mirror project in the future though :)
