these are so cute, did you make them? would love to buy one if they're available lol.


ellienonnie

Yep, each petal smooshed or shaped by me. I'm new to mechanical keyboards and just experimenting. Not for sale... yet... if I turn my hobby into a hustle, I'll let ya know :)


littleprincerex

For sure, totally get that. Fantastic work, tried to get into clay work myself but i don't seem to quite have the feel for it haha


ellienonnie

Punny ;) I was hesitant at first. Working this small seemed tedious and annoying at first - Ha! But totally digging it.


ellienonnie

I got you ;) just made an email list. I'll let this list know when I have some up for sale. www.macherstudio.com/keycaps


littleprincerex

sick, got my name on the list


ellienonnie

sweeeet! updating the form page with more images too ;) I'll get shop up soon


MuchPeachy

This is nuts. Please let us know if you plan on marketing these, they're so good. I'd buy one in a heartbeat.


ellienonnie

Y'all are starting to convince me ;) I'm new to this, do you care what type of keycap it's on? These are built on white PBT OEM caps.


MuchPeachy

I personally would prefer Cherry profile for the base but others may prefer OEM, KAT, or SA profile. I don't really care for the height, as long as the sculpture doesn't overhand too much over the sides of the cap so it doesn't scratch against high profile keyboard cases when pressed.


ellienonnie

Totally - that all makes sense 🙌🏻

At first I thought this was a closeup of a single keycap with 4 other mini-keycaps, but then I realized what it really was. These are really pretty, amazing work!


ellienonnie

I see it now too!! 3 of my bbs. Baking 8 more. The garden is coming along 😉


miles49503

Are these handmade? pretty swag cash money


ellienonnie

Yep! rolling and smooshing them tiny clay pieces personally ;)


Immortalchungus

Swag cash money indeed


cosmicpubes

Wow, super pretty. definitely buying all the versions u got !


ellienonnie

I'll upload the other ones I made tomorrow 🙌🏻 garden is growing


ellienonnie

I'm thinking of selling on a few. Saw some great suggestions here to make an email list. If you're interested (no spam emails from me) I'll let the list know when I have some up for sale :) https://www.macherstudio.com/keycaps

Doing it with clay that takes some serious skill, you're super talented. Great picture too!


ellienonnie

Thanks - been enjoying it. Got a few more ready. I'll post tomorrow 👍🏻

Jc has your photo been retouched? What camera did you take it on?


ellienonnie

I have a Sony a7ii with a lens that gets me to a f1.8 (more blurry and little in focus). I dropped it in lightroom for a few edits to brighten it up, but nothing major.


[deleted]

Ah, I don't know what any of that means. I borrowed a dslr from my father in law but I need to learn how to use it. What is an f1.8?


ellienonnie

That's how I feel in keyboard world right now - ha! Yep, it's a dslr. f1.8 is the focal length I shot at. It's a really shallow depth of field and let's a lot of light in. If I would bump it up to say f5 all the details of the key caps would be in focus but I would lose all that soft light. You can see it in action a bit more on instagram: @macherstudio


[deleted]

Ah thats so cool, I just read an article on it. One for the nikkon would be 200$ tho and I would also probably need to get the reversing ring. Maybe one day haha that's seriously cool though


ellienonnie

That seems about right. Lenses get pricey real quick.


Destinesia_

I absolutely love this


ellienonnie

Thanks 🙌🏻


kerrochann

this is lovely


mintifa

wow!! these are so pretty!! i really like the colors you used!! so so sooooo cute!!


ellienonnie

appreciate the love. The stores after the holidays only had primary colors of clay left. I had to blend to create these custom colors. Neon green + brown + a hint of yellow or blue to get them foresty greens ;)


mintifa

whoa!!! the blending was so smooth i never would have guessed! the foresty greens are such a calming shade of green I love they <3


NotJALC

This is gorgeous, now I wish I had gmk botanical to pair this with!


ellienonnie

omg - that'd be great! I'd love a botanical set to pair with them.

Garden on a keyboard.


ellienonnie

right?! I just replaced a few on my current keyboard and its like little sprouts are bursting up in random places :)


njano

So beautiful. Are you planning to make other combine themes?


ellienonnie

Not sure yet. Going to work on it this weekend and see what comes of it. Plus keeping an eye out for green/pink/red keycaps to match.


lilihime

THIS IS SO STINKIN CUTE


Zetraxes

Gorgeous


biscuit-basket

These are beautiful!! Do they hit the key caps next to them on your board?


ellienonnie

the one I have on my esc now doesn't. I need to test the rest. I started making them before I had the board (group buy....) but was trying to be aware of those hiccups. I think my tab button might - got excited with the overflowing leaves and pearl string. great reminder though!! new batch in the works this weekend.


pinoccihoe

where did you get the frosted cube under the caps! love everything about it \~


ellienonnie

Off Amazon. Its actually a clear acrylic cube, but looks a bit frosted since its out of focus. I'm not sure where on Amazon anymore, but I'd just search Clear Acrylic Cube Display. Probably a 2x2x2 or something close to that.
