last week I wanted to make myself a quick little fidget style toy to have in my pocket while travelling to visit my parents. Waiting around for your next train can be boring, I didn't really want to get a book out to read, and my tickets were on my phone, so I didn't want to use it too much because it's getting old and the battery isn't as good as it used to be. Also I have general anxiety, so sometimes having a little thing to fiddle with can be nice, and help get my mind off whatever is bothering me.
And so I went onto Pinterest to get some ideas, and came across marble fidget toys. There were some simple ones, and some cute ones, so I decided to take these two styles and combine them to make my very own marble fidget friend.
I played around with some ideas, but in the end decided to go for a poppet style design. I liked the idea I was transferring any and all of my boredom, anxiety, or stress into the little doll. Also, I love spooky stuff as you know!
And this is how my little guy turned out:
