Ain’t no party like a luau party ‘cuz a luau party don’t stop… me from hot gluing a bunch of dollar store floral together into a set of his and her matching accessories for our coordinated tropical outfits! If you look closely, you can see I snuck some Venus flytraps into the floral arrangements too. :D #floral #crafts #dollarstorediy #dollarstorecrafts #frugalfloral #audreyii #venusflytrap #flytrapsofinstagram #tiki #tikibar #tropical #vintagestyle #luau #tikiart #tikiartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CRr9h8KL1ln/?utm_medium=tumblr

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported #DeadBothans over the past year even when the parks were closed. <3 Here’s a sneak preview of some upcoming projects, tutorials, and files, including a new blade dock, custom droid accessories, a custom rainbow lightsaber, and more. :D #galaxysedge #starwars #starwarsland #disneyland #customlightsaber #customkyber #kybercrystal #savisworkshop #rainbowlightsaber #bladeplug #lightsaber #electronics #arduino #led #neopixels #3dprinting #lasercutting https://www.instagram.com/p/CP89MGQrYbt/?utm_medium=tumblr

I decided to keep the electronics super simple for this quick proof of concept test. Instead of a #neopixel + #arduino, I’m just using a flickering LED. I did go ahead and solder my usual wire connectors so I can swap in something different later (and to also test how much room I’ve got to work with in there. Spoilers: not much. XD) #starwars #customlightsaber #lightsaber #galaxysedge #batuu #blackspireoutpost #savisworkshop #dokondars #legacylightsabers #starwarsmerch #drillBabyDrill #princessleia #jedileia #lukeskywalker #electronics #arduino #led #pinout #vector #cad #3dmodeling #makerbot #3dprinting #soldering https://www.instagram.com/p/CP1YtltLId-/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is how many test prints and revisions it took to get to the final plug and pogo holder on the right. :D Time for electronics! #starwars #customlightsaber #lightsaber #galaxysedge #batuu #blackspireoutpost #savisworkshop #dokondars #legacylightsabers #starwarsmerch #prototype #princessleia #jedileia #lukeskywalker #electronics #arduino #led #pinout #vector #cad #3dmodeling #makerbot #3dprinting https://www.instagram.com/p/CP0-kl1rMRV/?utm_medium=tumblr

My rose gold Rebel Rose pin from @bound2bepic has arrived, and it’s absolutely gorgeous! o_o As a designer myself, I tend to be picky about what I like and recommend. But damn, @verations is a damn amazing designer. Her designs are beautiful, clever, and honestly better than 95% of the stuff I see in stores and the parks. We need more amazing artists like this in our community. Please go and support her work at @bound2bepic. #graphicdesign #designer #starwars #starwarsart #starwarspins #starwarsmerch #custompins #artistsoninstagram #femaleartist #girlboss #girlbosshustle #enamelpins #rebelalliance #rebelrose #rosegoldlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CPy6uvMrrZQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’m sure there’s probably a fancier way to figure out which pad is Ground, Power, and Data but… this works for me. XD Hooray for new pin outs! (Don’t try this at home, kids.)

The Leia lightsaber suffers from the same “skinny neck problem” as Luke’s #ROTJ saber: The movie accurate neck is too skinny to hold the lightsaber blade, so they include a VERY chonky neck you can swap in for non-screen accurate blade action. Unfortunately, you can’t interchange the necks between Luke and Leia’s thanks to the threads, even though the electronics are the same. #starwars #customlightsaber #lightsaber #galaxysedge #batuu #blackspireoutpost #savisworkshop #dokondars #legacylightsabers #starwarsmerch #drillBabyDrill #princessleia #jedileia #lukeskywalker https://www.instagram.com/p/CPoF0EYr62W/?utm_medium=tumblr

Yuppp, I owned this Leia lightsaber for less than 24hrs before deciding to do science to it. >_> #starwars #customlightsaber #lightsaber #galaxysedge #batuu #blackspireoutpost #savisworkshop #dokondars #legacylightsabers #starwarsmerch #drillBabyDrill https://www.instagram.com/p/CPmAdFnrDH7/?utm_medium=tumblr

Mother’s Day weekend always reminds me of my grandfather. His birthday was always close to Mother’s Day, so we’d always celebrate both at the same time.
This year I celebrated both by ordering lots of Cuban food and rewatching From the Earth to the Moon, which we had loved watching together. Yeah, I’ve been feeling a little homesick. ;-;
I hope I can celebrate with my mom in person by the time next Mother’s Day comes around.

Today is the day of my people! I forgot to wear green, so here’s a photo of the inside of my lasercutter instead. #stpatricksday #irish #noReally #lucky #lasercutter #beamboxpro #electronics https://www.instagram.com/p/CMiic2QLSAB/?igshid=1ex4nv6nv60o2

I spent most of yesterday finally working on a traditional art piece mashup I’ve had in the back of my head for a long time. I lasercut a stencil to trace the design perfectly onto canvas because OCD is real. Bonus points if you recognize the obvious inspiration. #wip #art #lowbrow #starwars #illustrator #illustration #painting #traditionalart #lasercutting #tiki #midcenturymoderndesign #witco (at Burbank Makerspace) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCjW2E3juea/?igshid=1hqq51ncvrti5
