My new son is so talented!!

I said I didn’t realize I allowed another animal in my house lol

I saw a video that did that!! Gonna make more art out of this poopy haha

I am 5 and I laughed at 3D printer poop for 10mins. I didn’t know they did this lmao

I move it, get it in the right spot when…that spot of the table is warped, so it won’t sit level. SO now I gotta order a more solid table. Ugh. Feel like this thing is just teasing me at this rate. It does look sexy though !!

Printer saga-Finally took the printer out of the box, went to set it up- no filament. The stuff I ordered isn’t due to arrive for another week. Ended up ordering some on the devils website. It shows up this morning, cool. Go to set it up again, cord is too short has to move to another spot. Okay-

Trust me I am so thankful my drive is back full force buuuuut, I wish I didn’t have to stop to eat lol

Who I am and what *I* like. When I realized that, that’s when things started to really turn around. Then with that spark I started to nurture it and let it grow.

Made it hard to make that sort of stuff again. I kept thinking if I wanted to fit in with this fandom I needed to stick with what people want from me. So I suppressed that part of me for a longtime. Ultimately I reached the “ no fucks” part of this journey and here I am. It’s an important part of

To go more down that path. Yet, I’d still pine to make a realistic suit here and there. I once got a comment after making a suit that was along the lines of I shouldn’t make realistic suits and stick with the toony stuff. Really hurt! I won’t lie, still bothers me time to time. But that comment -

Feel embarrassed? I ask because initially I joined the fandom doing realistic work. I received a lot of compliments but realistic work to me wasnt as popular at the time. I really wanted to fit in so eventually I started to make toonier suits. Which received an overwhelming response, so I started -

Well first off let me say that’s fuckin cool as hell!! I’ve always wanted to do something like that! It would be so cool to bring a creature to life.

That said, is this something you really feel? Or did someone make you feel that way? As in, did someone make a off handed comment and that made you-

David Lynch in beard and sunglasses saying "I hope you all are having a lot of fun working on your favorite projects"

Literally just pulling out of it now. Something I’ve been struggling with for 5 years or so. The feeling you’re experiencing I felt just before my drive really kicked up though. So maybe it’s about to build its own momentum! Just don’t push your self, and I am sure it’ll flourish.

Got. Like the drive would burn out fast. I also tried to do things that were still ways to express my self creatively that fell along the same lines. Like makeup did that for me. The more makeup I did the more I wanted to create. I hope that all makes sense. I’ve been battling this for years and I’m

Watching behind the scenes stuff, look up articles, watch makeup artists, tutorials. Anything that got my brain going. Slowly felt the drive to create begin to build. I noticed it would slowly build up. But I gave my self time and patience. I wouldn’t force it, as I noticed when I did, the worse it

Helped me was going back to my “roots”.Essentially what started it all. Which was Spfx. I was always a huge fan of latex, silicone, monsters creatures etc. and I lost touch with it. I thought, if I could day dream, I could research. I started to watch, read anything that inspired me. I used to love

Thank you! It’s been very long but I am finally seeing the light, and it’s getting brighter everyday.

So, I experienced that for a long time. I’d get inspired, day dream about making stuff but absolutely no drive. Id get as far as sitting at my desk, setting up but not starting. What ultimately -

I’ve been dreaming about how I can just mirror things or flip at will…music to my ears haha

Wow hell froze over, package actually turned up between the allotted time. Now my giant elf man sculpture has a buddy.

I’d like to give that a shot as a test. From there I wanna do some clay texture tools, accessories, jewelry, small stuff as first. Then slowly work my way up to making molds! Lots of stuff brewing in my noggin. Basically anything I need two of that I don’t have to sculpt by hand haha

I have so many ideas I want to do haha but I need to learn how to sculpt them digitally first. But I want to print some parts for the collar. The file I bought has a few panels I’d like to print.
My friend printed this for me initially and it has a lot of custom pieces I didn’t have them print. So-

Excited for my grown up easy bake oven

I did! I got the P2s!

low place mentally, and I wanted to give up. Especially making costumes, which broke my heart that I actually thought that. That’s when I realized I needed to reframe my thinking and reach for what originally got me into making costumes to begin with. It’s been slow and tough but, here I am 💜

Honestly I am very very proud of my self that I’ve reached the point I could do this. A few years ago this all seemed SO out of reach I never bothered ( or considered) I’d be able too. There’s a few things I’ve been able to add to my tool belt that I never thought I’d ever have. I was in a very-

My new printer arrives today!! I am not ready in the least lol I honestly thought it would ship from CA and take a week to get to me…not like 2 days. I thought I had time lmao. Ah well! I am still super exciteddddd

Stop feeding them past midnight

And they fit perfectly in my meal
Prep container. I make/cut them small enough so the fit in my toaster. I just pop 2-3 in there while I wait for my coffee. Easy and fast

Big brain energy when I realized I could just bake pancakes in the oven instead of a pan. I meal prep protein pancakes for the week and this shaved off an hour of my time. Yassss
