I've learned many things with my first prototype and I may drop the idea I had and just make weighted snuggle ponies we'll see. She's comfy but I think I'd do the mane and tail differently next time. Gotta start somewhere but here's my finish big lucky star plush!

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

Some fun projects for future cons!! My husband and I are a team in this, I drew the Bolt and he drew the other. Printed and cut in our cricut. Hence the human cut out around. πŸ˜… I personally try to get as many in the space allotted.

Hopefully you'll see lucky star whimsies this summer and beyond☺️

Gonna be more blunt with this. And you should too. #FMF

Yes we had Magic players win the Superbowl and earn a gold medal at the Olympics on the same night.

That's very cool.

But what you may not know is we also had a Magic player (and his colleague) design and build THE BAD BUNNY BUSH COSTUMES.

@d4dustinf.bsky.social fkn rules. Go follow him.
