Never. Frickin. Fails.
Our printers are absolute angels, no fuss, RIGHT until we actually NEED them to print something big for a project, then the hot end gets all pissy. I could almost set my bloody watch to it.

Oh these are hecking adorable! Well done♡

If you see this, post your bird art!

Yep. By the end of the day when I know I'm not going out anymore, the bra gets *yeeted* at high velocity into the laundry & the comfy jammies come out.

Gandalf and frodo "I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf. "So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have yo decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."

I'm holding tight to the fact that this sort of hatred & cruelty rots you from the inside out. Darkness can't last forever. Eventually, the light breaks through.

It was absolutely hilarious, well worth checking out.

Oh these are absolutely precious!♡

Molded leather mask of tiger demon, on foam dummy head, to be painted.

Giving a certain derpy blue tiger Oni a try in my style. I am digging the shape & its comfy on the face. Will have to see how it looks once fully dry & painted. Maybe with some red/orange makeup around my own eyes. (Since the fun contacts crap out at just over 1/2 my perscription, boo :p )

The silhouette on this looks like it should be a main character in a kids book. It's adorable♡

Purple and teal fursuiter, dragon?

Snuck out to a local Renn Faire today with the family. Had a lot of fun, saw some really amazing costumes, including a couple of fursuits! This one was absolutely adorable & let me snap a pic. Don't know who the suiter is but the design is so stinking cute!♡

I absolutely loved FC the years I went. Staff is amazing, and it was a great experience. But being on the opposite coast, travel costs to get my dealer stuff to and from is just prohibitively expensive these days. Sucks, because its a great con.

Dude, what is it about butternut squash soup that is so dang comfortingly fall?

Brown and pink butterfly wings with sakura flowers at the edges. Clear 3d printed, jointed hand next to it

Working on the layout of the cherry blossoms on the butterfly wings for Big Puppet Critter. Also doing some quilt batting between the hand joints for the false arm so that when skinned in spandex it reads as more of a smooth, real arm.

SO many new techniques in this build!♡

This, a billion times over. Nothing wrong with hard work. But the obsession in the US with 'grind until there's nothing left' is just stupid. You get 1 life. LIVE it!

Streaming at 11:30am today, Friday Oct 3rd. My goal is to work on finishing the Pi-rat sculpts during streams in the month of October. With luck, I'll get the whole crew done & up in the square store.

Closeup up of bright blue handprints glass eyes on white & pink fox puppet face, eith twisty brown branch antlers nearby

Table with assorted puppet supplies & pieces laid out. White fox head with pink markings, brown, twisted branch antlers, brown nose, pink aura quartz crystals, pink silk sakura flowers, brown & pink butterfly wings.

Alright. Antlers painted & dry. Nose, same. Time to get this puppet head *done*.

Yeah, if it won't survive the abuse of my carting around & washing my water bottle, it's a giveaway, not a selling sticker.

Have you had good luck with/been pleased with Stickerapp's quality & durability?

I previously bought from LillyLama on Etsy. The older stickers are proper vinyl & amazing. The more recent ones scratch way too easily to be professionally printed. So, looking for a new sticker manu w/ low minimums & high quality. It sucks, but if I'm selling my stickers I want them to last.

Ours has hit the teen years & is actively planning multiple cosplays for Halloween events. So happy to get to art-nerd out with the kiddo♡

Ok, I had a moment of mentally going "Crap, wasn't this scheduled for *after* Halloween??"

Oh shoot, is this the gnoll??

We have multiple printers. I purchase files, & customize mask bases or costume parts by doing additional hand sculpting, painting, etc on them. So they do have their place as a tool in handmade markets. But yeah, super tired of seeing booths at faires & cons with 500 flexi dragons & ripped files.

The way I squealed when I saw this!♡ Mama & kiddo cosplaying together is so dang wholesome. You both look amazing.

Open maw of fox beastie

This count?

Sakura fox beastie puppet head. White furred, with pink markings on her forehead, ears, cheeks & around her eyes.

3 attempts to get Vengeance to cooperate with this antler file & the tpu before admitting defeat. It took loading the filament into the new machine, The Cube, to get it done.

The antlers still need to be hit w a heat gun to smooth out, painted branch brown, & have the sakura flowers attached.
