Wanting a little storage case for a small sketchbook and some pens, so 3d printing a box to fit them. Gonna glue some fabric on after sewing in a bit of magnets and a flap to hold them down. Should be fun!

Trying to figure out how best to make my ACNH fossils with mixed colors, and then figured I was wasting time trying to save time. Gonna make the bits as separate pieces to drop into the final base.

Almost done! Gotta give it some dirt, then I can hang it up for display!

Oh yeah, prop updates.

Still got some painting to do, and then some gluing and weathering, but this one is almost complete!

Mage Masher ftw!

Forgot to post this: the finished Moogle moonfaire mask! I had a ton of setbacks and made a lot of mistakes, but I'm proud of how this turned out! I might try to sell a few once I get some kinks in the creative process ironed out.

Finished the holder! The upholstery leather glued on quite easily, and apart from forgetting how smelly rubber cement is, the work was pretty easy too.

It actually holds a decent amount of pens as well!
Might update it eventually but for now I'm happy with it.

I haven't posted in a while. So before I head into work with far too few hours of sleep, have some props I'm working on finishing up recently.

Gotta seal it and maybe do a little grunge pass, but the Maes Hughes knife from Fullmetal Alchemist is pretty much done! Now I gotta make a display for it!

Somehow or another I lucked out finding that my local Michaels now carries monster clay; the same morning I find out my other batch of wax clay isn't sulfur free, because the silicone I poured never fully cured. Time for attempt 2!

I promise I do draw still. Just not a lot that I currently finish or share. XD

Have a more final paint job on the Mage Masher. Gonna do a dirt pass on it then seal it one more time... Then figure out where to hang/display it.

Gave the back a coating with wood filler mixed with acetone; it went on well, dried fast, and sanded easily! The front got a little of the wood filler, but then I coated it with xtc3d. Now I need to spray it so I can actually see what to sand. XD Too glossy!

I find it to be a cosmic kick to the teeth that the closest I'll ever get to being able to perform alchemy is mixing and pouring plastics.

Or spending too much to become a pharmacist, but either way.

More work, this time on the tassel! I swear this thing is over engineered and probably could have been made in a lot less than an hour and a half, but it's working at least. Gotta pick up more yarn to bulk it out some

Red embroidery thread and four cyan painted wooden beads making the start of a decorative tassel. The aforementioned tassel, now with the tassel bit added around the fourth bead, laying next to the handle of the prop it will be attached to.

Decided the moonfaire mask was a bit small and the decorations were a bit shallow, so I reprinted it. Happy with how it's turning out this second go round!

Well, with the announcement of the 25th anniversary of Final Fantasy IX, seems like there was no better year to finish this up.

I suppose I could have waited till July to finish it up, but I feel like I had the urge to work on it so I needed to.

After all this time, it's done! Finally finished the Mage Masher! This fella is now hanging up in my room, and I'm pleased as punch with how it turned out. From first iteration to this final one was over 15 years in the making. XD

I don't know what it is about this year that requires I flex both my creativity and my ability to learn new skills.... But I guess I'll take it?

Trying weaving on a tabletop loom for the first time!

#HadesMakes #weaving #crafting
My third attempt at weaving; using just the plain large yarn. Much better looking, and I got further with one skein of yarn than I thought I would. My second attempt at weaving on my loom; I tried using a smaller thread with it and decided I really didn't like how it looked, so I pulled the whole thing apart. My homemade table loom, sitting on my work benches and drying from where I glued pegs into it.

I should share this here as well: behold! One of my many side skills/hobbies! Making ribbon flowers!

I never really got further than ribbon roses, but some day I'll look into more types.

Made the Maes Hughes knife quite a while ago, but now that I've printed one up for myself, I decided to make a wall display mount for it. Hopefully it should fit pretty snug against the sides and then the cylinder through the center and magnets will keep it locked in.

You came to the wrong neighborhood, kupo~

Saw the Moogle moonfaire mask on the mogstation store a while back, and decided I wanted one for myself. So I made it! I still gotta clean up the back of the ears a bit, but it printed out nicely!
