Crocodile base! Newest cast. Fixed up the mold. And also tested a new method of casting with some hard expanding foam to lessen the weight and total resin used! This weighs 1 lb 10 oz and needs no additional jaws or tongue.

Pausing detailed base orders till much more finished suit work can get completed! Lots of fiddling with detail orders has put me back consistently from being able to get finished work progressed 🥲 simple orders still available! Casting and cutting/hinging only at this time!

Burying our sweet 15 year old baby today. It’s been hard. She was here a long time and declined very fast. May or may not be responsive for a little bit. Appreciate the understanding.

Lupin up close! She’s the first fursuit mask I’ve made. I loved crafting her. The base is by @crystumes.bsky.social. The LEDs in the eyes are by @evilgeniuslabs.org. @spacebuck.net and @maul.bsky.social gave me tons of advice on electronics and patternmaking, respectively. #fursuit #raven #furry

turned out I just didn't cut a piece big enough to count for the shirring so all this work had to be scrapped and needs to be completely redone. HOBOY. I just wanna make sure everything I put out is quality artwork and looks correct particularly due to the wait people have had to endure.

Trying to get back on the productivity train. Trying to keep a <2 year old from danger at every single waking moment has a way of draining every essence of life from your body. Que this for like over a decade more. and I just gotta be able to function.

I thought I ordered my regular large amount of plaster gauze from Michaels (FOR $70!!) because the PHOTO they used on the listing was the 20 lb case. but now upon receiving a sad tiny box of it it says 5 pounds. And on Amazon it's the same price for the actual 20 lb version 😢

I just counted and we've done at LEAST 174 masks/ partials to date since 2012 when we started. Not including any toony masks we've made just for fun. That's so crazy! Uncountable amounts of blank orders also in that time. 💪

Taking the sadness and guilt I've felt and manifesting it instead into anger. Enough to put it towards meaningful changes in my Terms of service and ways I can work on boundaries to be able to work on mutual professionalism and try to keep things that don't belong separate from business.

The package finally arrived after I called them 2. count em 2 more times for them to secretly need: the client's phone number and email address. the email address they've BEEN EMAILING THEM AT. FINALLY got them a customs vat fee which was the full 20% regardless of art. AND AND

Now they need a whole signed letter of art authenticity before they'll allow the client to have the package . It's been nothing but more and more paperwork needed for this. Never in my 14 years of making have I had to do this. My goddddddd. There's so little info out there for this stuff.

Holy shit. So yeah. I had to figure out how on earth to file a whole thing with the GUVNMT in order for this package to go over the border. Good thing I had enough Ashwagandha because this is so confusing. No colleagues so far have been able to help me so I've just tried to figure it out myself.

One of my toxicest traits is only ever posting or sharing updates I'm working on when I feel stressed or sad. Trying to post things when I actually feel productive and good. it's just when I feel productive I don't have a lot of energy to photograph and update also. It's like one or the other. 🥲

anyone send high value packages to the UK from the US lately? Has it gone well? And are there any things I should know to make it go smoothly? Possibly via UPS not usps. I've never sent internationally via UPS. They seem to want you to put the customs forms ... in a ziplock or something?

Please I just wanna make costumes and my toddler either gets into everything or screams like he is dying when I keep him out of the workroom if he’s awake. Only being able to work when he’s asleep is getting tiresome. Add creative energy to the mix and this is SO HARD. THIS IS SO HARD

It hurts my soul to see artists trying to sell to the fandom that aren’t really in the fandom. Just stings when they’re like trying to take the art work fandom artists are doing without really any interest or knowledge of the people in furry. Part of what has driven me crazy last year. 😢

I feel like I’m good at wabi-sabi realism in masks which enhances the hyper realism, natural, imperfect looking element vs clean and neat.

Never look at your colleagues/fellow artists and say oh maybe I should be more like them. Case in point I started making my resin bases big because other artists made big resin bases. Then peeps told me they miss my first style slim bases. 🥲🥲🥲🥲
