#project progress

Yesterday's quick project was a garden flag. Some of my color options were limited but I'm very pleased with how it turned out.

Also finished quilting the cactus quilt so now I just need to do some thread clean up and make the binding. I think I will skip quilting the border.

new ears AND new paint! he’s gonna get his faceplate painted white soon to cover up her sun damage, as well :3

the backing fabric i use for my ears is this very soft minky fabric that is so nice to pet and rub, 10/10 definitely recommend using minky fabric for custom ears

pals, she's at it again (answering the question of "what if Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette collabed with the Barbie movie")

it's going well so far except for the hour of revisions required to adjust a corset bodice to the concept of top surgery but we got there in the end

next: pray for me as I pleat six metres of skirt and make a set of pocket hoops

Remember that Wally Darling ball gown project I've been working on? Well, I haven't forgotten it. It's just been a bit hectic over here.

But, I do have a few bits of good news! I found a good amount of fabric in just the perfect shade of yellow for like, 10 bucks while I was thrifting. And it's like, yards and yards and yards of fabric.

And, on a trip before that (to the same store, no less), I found a crinoline!!!!! Oh, and on another trip, I got a battery powered sewing machine! And it works!!!!!!

And today, well.....

THE SHOES CAME IN!!!!!!

Now, I'm a couple of steps closer to being able to cosplay as Wally!

I'm so fucking excited!!!!!!

King Currents. Without Piebald:

Burnish eyes and feline 5 noctis s10 have been added onto his design. Might replace it with the rare s 10 noctis feline 3.

I have two more pieces of hair left, and my instinct to hold it up to see the progress is to place my finger in the opening of the plushie so I can see it without my hands in the way. If I do that now, I have to risk possibly stabbing my finger with one of the 29 T-pins that are holding this thing together.

Current cross stitch progress!

So, when I was planning cosplay stuff for this coming Dragoncon, I wanted to do an Eddie cosplay. Because I've never seen it done and I'm a sucker for any opportunity to do something unusual (and because I have absolutely zero chill), I decided this absolutely had to include the guitar.

For various reasons, a real one is not a good option. I needed something preferably both very lightweight and able to fit in a suitcase.

Once it's done and painted, I'll make a post about the eleventy bajillion mishaps that happened along the way, but for the moment I am so, so excited to have finally pulled off what I was going for. This weighs less than a pound and sticks together with magnets. It needs some serious sanding before I start on the paint job, but the last two months of crafting nonsense has finally paid off, so I'll take it!

MY HOT GLUE GUN CAME!!!!!

YIPPEE!!!!!!

I CAN FINALLY MAKE WARLOCK WALLY'S STAFF CRYSTAL WITH THIS BAD BOY!!

I feel a bit violent now with it. You may feel concerned.......

Added the supports for the second shelf. Today I need to calculate dimensions for the door and cut the sides.

Finally finished the stems of two leaves of the monstera plant. Three more to go!

Here's something I wasn't expecting about my embroidery experiment: the cotton thread seems to have shrunk in the wash

I’m working on this proposal for a solo show in my hometown and…I have until the 25th at midnight to submit it. Which is not a bad timeline - I’m already done with a lot of documentation they are asking for, but I’m being quite ambitious for this proposal (for context, it would basically be like…about a whole apartment worth of space the selected artist would have to use up) and I’m proposing things at a bigger scale than I’ve ever done-

And part of me is not very convinced I even have a chance to get it - but I at least want to participate so the jury knows my work.

And part of me is TERRIFIED that I actually get selected. Like. The project I’m submitting has a lot of potential, and I think the fear of success here is what’s making me stall and procrastinate.

Anyways, I’m taking a small break - I have my project summary, CV, and previous work samples about 75% done. I’ll get my references and preliminary sketches together today and then I’ll take a day or two just to edit/revise.

Wish me luck-!
