The build got done! Didn't get all the beadwork done, but the main components were there! It looks fantastic. 5 to 6 weeks build: learning leathercrafting effectively solo, working with new resin type, all courage. #larp #leathercrafting #sewing #3dprinting

Full coat of plates, leather harness & pauldrons, and ice steel cape set.

Now it's time for.... Bernina nr. 5! Really, this foot deserves a sexy little tune. It makes very sexy little hems, after all. It is my favorite foot, by far.

It's 'finish tiny greebles' time, but the D-Rings (inverse assembly on purpose, that 3L rivet isn't going anywhere) are on, so the harness is 99% complete. Just have to tie down the flaps now that they no longer take part in the functional work.

There was a flaw in the design. Spend last night on new belts, including super flush triangular straps. Proud of that. Arming points are there as well. To do: D-Rings new placement (measure, drill, rivet) Pauldron arm straps (m, d, r) Pauldron AP placement (m, d, r) Continued cape work

Emergency belt looking extremely snazzy.

... the bookstore apparently has a promotion deal on English books so with my order of Moxon's books of essays on various elements of the American descent into fascism I also get.... the baby dragon - tulip farm... ... Why does this feel so on point for the state of everything....

2 books by A.R. Moxon, and what I guess is a kids book...

I'm on cape work! I lost time due to illness but damn, one side is stitched and tufted, cover still needs a solution. I might friggin' make it before larp...

This project has been nonstop 'solve this issue' 'reschedule this planning' 'kick yourself to sand down belt straps at 22:00 because it's only you, baby' No setbacks, all spiteforwards, and a consistency and flexibility to make any PM go red-eared at the sheer might. ... I'm tired, honestly.

One plate left to cut, then bevels. Then wet shaping, Then dyeing, then rivets and arming points. Look up when to add line stitching in this process.

www.evelinealbers.com/article-came... Honestly, part of me cheered when I got angry at the *bevel tool* last night. Yes, get mad. Punch the ceiling. I know what happens after that. It's me crossing the finish line with new skills, and an epic new city.

It's the 'skip lunch, cut leather' phase of the project as I try to scavenge time wherever possible. That odd occasion where people actually see my polymathy in action. I'm fully self-teaching myself this by studying youtube and analysing examples.

It's a lot of work with a learning curve, but we're really doing this.

Final icicle paint, and the top cover. I wouldn't be able to explain what it is, so just trust me. I don't know what I'm doing either. 100% crafter's instincts, right now.

I know that home made grape jelly is my most favorite kind of jelly. ... But I made a really strong contender. 🌵cactus fruit jelly🌵 None of the seeds, all of the rich flavour.

Base design & possible execution of the embellishments. String embroidery. 3D printed parts. Need a playsafe method of evoking ice quills and steel. Bastard-proof. Point is that fabric needs to flow, so I can't armour layer it. Any sizeable 'fluff' needs to sit at shoulder level.

Eveline Albers @aerisnoir.evelinealbers.com · 14/09/2026

I'm thinking nonstop about how to upgrade the armour set. Thinking skilltree type leather pauldrons over the coat of plates. Then a pauldron cape: two clasps, detachable hood?, waterfall metal/ice quills from each shoulders. Still need a plan/pattern/design on that direction of insane genius 😬

Custom Transformers Windblade figurine. I barely ever painted a mini, let alone model, 3D print, and assemble it. But I readily go for ambitious projects. Beginner class SMC, won a commended pin.

Naked Lamorak. I never build a gundam before like this, I want to do the frame in paint as well, unsure how to go about it. Need to check the HS for non-spray primer..

I still have technique to learn, taking notes. Which is exactly why I'm doing this exercise. But I do like the result! #embroidery

Let's try a new thing. Felt padded embroidery. ... it's a test run for something much bigger. Think coat of plates big.

Fact: I have superior quality perception. Grade S, unrivalled. It saved lives, and recovered horribly tangled necklaces. Good stuff. Proud of that. Full stars.

The problem with going through a sudden case of "congrats, you went from perfect to dying in under 30 seconds" is that you friggin' keep finding reminders of it, in the weirdest ways, for all eternity. How the hell am I going to untangle this necklace. Friggin' how.

My gundams are delayed, so I'm really, really glad I took the effort to paint the crab shell last night.

Painted more on the sea goblins. Basic vallejo and citadel for white to yellow with ivarden contrast, then hikari stardust candy magenta for the red. #miniature #handpainted

They're on their way. I am stoked. Will I dare to airbrush...

Eveline Albers @aerisnoir.evelinealbers.com · 20/07/2026

Ok, they're a bit bigger than Big Convoy. Expecting them to be like the Tarn build I have (shush). So I will definitely be pulling some Transformers out of my displays and into storage for the kid.

New bread, different tactic: created a very dry granular dough, tossed on counter, kneaded with wet hands and gradually upped the water content that way until I got the dough consistency I wanted.

Horsie! Continued this Centaur gladiator figurine for the last hobbyclub night. I wasn't sure what direction to take him, I am still proud of that baby's first handpainted ombre job and I don't wanna mess it up. Leaning Ifrit-themed. #handpainted #miniature #centaur
