I still have to clean some seams/layer lines on the top, but so far I'm happy with it.

I was only able to do the shaping on the top because the foam clay is still wet and squishy on the bottom.

The layers on the back half did not line up cleanly because my foam was still pretty curved from being kept rolled up (even though I heated it and pressed it flat overnight before using). Foam clay to the rescue. Letting it dry overnight before taking it to the belt sander for shaping.
A prop rifle made out of white eva foam. It is cut in two parts. The back half is unfinished with foam clay spread along the seams.

I just made a few test jewelry display cards on my cricut. I used some left over poster board and I only had enough for 2, but a 22"x28" poster board is only .99 cents. I can make way more than I need right now with that.

It is resting on a gridded paper cutter. A white jewlery display card unfolded, laying flat on a gridded paper cutter. The stylized letters "NC" on both ends in black ink.

I'm wondering if I should get some type of shopping bags like these or if thats unnecessary at this point. The smaller things I make, like the keychains and bracelets will have their own packaging. I don't know if I need something for the larger items like dice trays.

If anyone wanted to chip in to help me buy Krypto a thundershirt, I do have a ko-fi where I accept tips.

My boy is stressed because of the rainy weather.

I love that it is finally soup weather.
A 1st person POV picture of me, a white person, holding a bowl of soup in my left hand while sitting down. The soup consists of chickpeas, lentils, kale, and other various veggies. It is in a gray bowl. You can see my dog Krypto, a white cattle dog with brown ears, laying on his bed looking at me in the background.

Thinking about getting a thunder shirt for Krypto for his anxiety with loud noises. Our neighborhood unfortunately has a lot of people who shoot off fireworks on/around holidays and just a single one stresses him so much. So I'm worried about New Year's.

Does anyone have any experience with these?

I spent the morning cutting out foam for the back half of Caitlyn's rifle only to find out that my contact cement is way too old and gummy to use 🙃
Several layers of white eva foam cut out in the shape of the back half of a rifle. They are stacked on a gridded cutting mat with 2 10 pound dumbbells on top of them.

I thought I could make a bunch of these keychain straps while watching tv but my pets have had other plans. Everytime I get my yarn out, they decide then need to be on my lap. Or, in Chewie's case, wants to play. I've been trying for weeks and this is all I've made so far
Several crocheted straps attached to lobster clasp keychains. Some are solid gray, some are pink and blue.

I carved out the detail on the prop rifle front sight with my dremel. Not the best, but I don't have a lot of experience with carving.
A closeup of the sight on the end of a prop rifle. It has a zigzag detail drawn on it with the negative space around it carved out. The opposite side of the same prop with the same detail carved on it.

This fella doesn't like going outside after the sun goes down which means I can't get him to go out to pee after 6pm.

I built the front half on Caitlyn's rifle this week. I just need to sand the edges of that part on the back end before gluing it in place, then I can start on the back half.

The background is blurred because my worktable is a mess and I didn't feel like cleaning it lol
The front half of a prop replica of Caitlyn's rifle from Arcane. It is unpainted, made with mostly eva foam, but the top sight and bottom edge along the barrel are wood.

I wish I could let him stay out of the crate at night but I still don't completely trust him unattended around my cat. He so comfy though.

Has anyone used one of these seat belt harnesses for your dog? I'm thinking about getting one for Krypto.

Got Krypto a new harness. I still want to get him a collar for his tag, but I got the harness first because I don't like attaching a leash to a collar.

Had to crate him early tonight because some dumbfuck neighbor decided to shoot off fireworks and he is not a fan. He was trying to bust through my bedroom (to get out not in) and is super stressed. I just don't want him to hurt himself trying to get out.

I've only tried a few kinds from the grocery store so far, but this guy doesn't seem to be interested in treats. Which would be fine if I wasn't trying to train him.
