What I create

Three kinds of work

A flat-lay display of vintage-style metal tin collectibles and bottle cap bookmarks arranged on a light wood background. The set includes several silver metal tins filled with colorful bottle caps, a white sheet with rows of bottle cap bookmarks in pink, green, black, red, and white, and a small rectangular tin featuring a retro 'Nuka-Cola' advertisement design.

Props & creative builds

Replicas, themed pieces, and one-off builds — painted, weathered, and finished by hand. Some move or light up. Some sit on your shelf or wall.

Original & upcycled pieces

Objects designed here from scratch, and ordinary things taken apart and turned into something worth keeping.

A framed painting depicting a Star Wars Mandalorian in armor aiming a blaster at flying mallards by a marsh, shown hanging on a light wall.

Artwork & display pieces

Wall pieces, signage, and display work made to be looked at — cut, printed, painted, and finished to suit the room.

Custom projects

Bring me an idea.

Start with a description, a sketch, a photograph, a reference image, an existing design, a ready-to-use file, or an object you want transformed. You don't need to know which process it needs — working that out is part of the job.

How it's made

One studio, many processes

Most pieces pass through several of these before they're finished. A single build might be printed, cut, painted, wired, weathered, and assembled from a mix of new and salvaged parts. Choosing the right combination is part of the work.

About

Built by a maker, not an assembly line.

I'm Andrew. I run A-Z Crafted Layers on my own in Delaware, Ohio, and I like the part of the job where an idea stops being an idea. Art, fabrication, painting, finishing, wiring, and a fair amount of problem-solving — usually all in the same build.
