Working on a little crow with a blade for us to carry around in these trying times.
(I will add that unless you love talking in the phone so much you want to have to do it twice, be sure to ask them to remove BOTH the duplicate room AND the duplicate parking garage fees.)
Heard some MFF folks had errors in their hotel bills & can confirm if you stayed at Embassy Suites & asked to see the bill b4 midnight the last night there, your bill might have said last night & parking charges in it twice.
Call the # on the receipt to get a human that will fix it right away.
This guy is going on a solo adventure to the kiln today, while I work on something bigger 😅

Update: Safely home, car unloaded, time for food & rest bc it’s back to the office tomorrow to see what fresh horrors the users have wrought upon the database in my absence.
Anyway my beverage was delicious & we survived the trip back to MD. I’ll finish the drive tomorrow after a good night’s sleep.
Also the lady behind me tried to order an iced latte & it turns out their ice machine was ALSO broken bc they ran across the concourse & filled a bucket w/ice from the pizza place’s soda machine.
I can only assume the MFF exodus preceded me on the turnpike & exhausted supplies.
Me: oh, sorry, I’m tired & not very observant. Do you have an espresso machine?
B: ~looks at me like I am a strange and unwelcome bug~
Me, despairingly: C-could I maybe get a regular hot coffee w/caramel syrup & enough creamer to count as a latte?
B: ~takes pity on me & grants my ludicrous request~
Me at oh-dark-thirty at a turnpike Dunkin bc my hotel neighbors were partying until 0200 & I’ve been driving since 0400: One Caramel Latte pls
Barista: We’re out of that.
Me: ok a peppermint mocha then?
B: nope
Me: what about-
B: Iced only
Me: ~finally notices the “no lattes, steamer broken” sign
I too also saw the lovely dog poo shaming drawings people made for the poop left in the den. I throw my own addition to the meme pile! Buy them at M14 limited supplies for at con.
Did you know I can embellish the clothes you buy at con?! A lovely snow leopard rosette addition for Zigs’s hoodie! Come to M14 to see all the lovelies and what I can make for you!
Commissioned coloring page.
(Be like Scrooge McDuck, only taller)
(I am kidding, except probably the taller part, I’m the shortest member of my family haha)
Finished up a quick watercolor doodle. (Now if I could just find room for it on the table.)
Finished my wee table setup!
(It’s a little crowded but hopefully that’s a temporary problem as sculpts sell.)
Come to see us at Table G46 in the Artist Marketplace (Hall B) at MFF! I’m near the end of the far wall.
Forgot to post The Tiniest Duckie, a wee little polymer clay & resin charm for one of @eiudragon.bsky.social ‘s limited stuffies at MFF.
(I cannot say any more but you guys can check them out at table M14 in the Dealers Den this weekend!)
Relatable Corvid
Ah, excellent, best of luck to you as well! The big cons tend to be a bit of organized chaos but the staff know their stuff & tend to make sure it all makes sense on the ground/in person.
Odds are it will have a big sign, since we’re sharing the Hall with Artist Alley, but in theory we’re right next to the Dealers Den this year & both will be easy to find!
All these & more can be found at my Artist Marketplace table (JenKiwi, G47) in Hall B at MFF this weekend!
Drop by to chat, see them in person, & perhaps take a few home with you!
And finally, two boxes of delicious Berds candy!
Because Nerds look like tiny kiwi birds to me, autocorrect had an interesting flub during a casual birb/borb/etc chat, & I had an abundance of sanity points to spend around Halloween.
A cat-ctus!
Their bristles are flexible without being stabby, so one can pet the kitty without risking harm.
(Because I showed it in the group shot & don’t want to make you dig through my posts to find the Halloween pictures, here’s details of the glow-in-the-dark ghostly fox in a jack-o-lantern.)
An arctic fox going sledding, and a Tic-Tac Trio!
More adorable red foxes.
(Don’t worry about the wee chickie, I have been assured their big bro is taking very gentle care of them as they walk them back to their coop.)
Meet the Snack Pack - a red fox, silver fox, and crossfox trio.
Hungry? These foxes have some tasty snacks to share!
The newest recruits to the fox platoon, ready for inspection! (Detail shots coming.)
Pause here w/a white rat for a moment to contemplate those Cheez-its.
A Sergal sits atop an open box of Cheez-its.
(I hand-sculpted every single one of those Cheez-its, having apparently accumulated too many sanity points for my own good.)
