Happy tiara Tuesday! Right before armadillocon I had gift tiara- It was a martini tiara as they are big martini drinkers. 🍸 Well someone saw it at Armadillocon and NEEDED one with a margarita. Who am I to say no to requests?! They are launching their first book and it will be for the launch.

I made a set of butterfly hair clips for a commission and then I had extra butterfly wings so more hair clips. Seems logical ;)

I wanted to use these round pendants but it didn’t work as well on the final piece as I liked. So I added more of the half round smaller pieces on the side instead.

Had fun at Armadillocon. I had a table in the dealers room where on Saturday I was able to set up and let people play with ink for the ghost of my friends @journeyplanet.bsky.social planet issue and make tiaras.

On the @laworldcon.bsky.social discord I offered to send out a small envelope with some stickers, ribbons and a small sketch to those who attended virtually :). The packages went out today :). Tried to make sure that those online got a chance for some freebies too!

I got a lot of questions about the state of Texas in 2031. While we are really enthusiastic to run a worldcon we understand that the US is not conducive to that right now. We are waiting to see how the midterms go. (Please no politics on this post) However we can have some fun with it right? ;)

Happy tiara Tuesday! Okay I almost forgot but finally was able to get it done in time! I came back from LA to a bunch of filigree orders and was inspired! And of course if you missed it the tiara we made in the workshop. It was lovely to see everyone wearing them afterwards!

Some of the sketches I did when trying to come up with the design for the logo for @laworldcon.bsky.social As you can see I wasn’t really sure about the type of wings to use.

I have designed two Hugos too! The second was for San Jose and it was with Vincent Villafranca. From the release: The Solartisans inspecting their work on the 2018 Hugo Award base. A true Solartisan always assumes the famous Olan Mills pose! :) ( photo by JOhn Davis )

Happy tiara Tuesday! So at conventions I get a lot of people saying to me, “I don’t recognize you with out a tiara!” Well worry no more! I have a tiara for worldcon and I will be wearing it 😉 maybe not the WHOLE time! I just got these dragons and love them. They work so well for centerpieces!

Besides the other fun things on my @laworldcon.bsky.social schedule I will be doing a demo in the fanzine lounge on the Ghost of My Friends signatures for the @journeyplanet.bsky.social issue. I decided to wait till after LA to release it so I can include more people in the fun! Saturday 3pm!

The difference between the workshop tiara and my Hugo tiara is one piece of filigree (if I can source a few more pieces of the side ones) and that is the moon in the front. Although I should bring some just in case! And mostly I have large gems for the centerpieces.

Happy tiara Tuesday! Here is my tiara for the Hugos as well as the basic form of the tiara workshop for @laworldcon.bsky.social. The workshop tiara won’t be as fancy but it has all the same filigree! Come join me make a fancy tiara!

Happy tiara Tuesday! I posted this tiara yesterday and it has always been a favorite (first picture). But it needed a bit of tlc and updating. So I did just that 🙂 New filigree, stronger attachments. I loved it before but now it is even better 🙂 (picture is better too! Heh) ❤️👑❄️

So one of my favorite tiaras is being remade today. I am struggling to change it but it was an earlier one and wasn’t put together the best way. So I have removed all the silver bits and am reworking it.

A few more days to vote in the hugos! Don’t forget the fan categories! We work hard to celebrate the community and I really appreciate all the fans who create! My Tiara Tuesdays are for bringing joy to people in a small way which is why I keep doing it. 300 tiaras later I still love it 👑❤️

Happy tiara Tuesday! In honor of being one of the featured guests for @laworldcon.bsky.social I HAD to make a tiara. Somehow I have taken a logo that was originally steampunk and made it into a sailor moon fantasy ;) Yes I designed the original logo. So seems fitting I use it ;)

3) You don’t have to rank every work within a given category for your votes to count. Rank the ones you most care about. Don’t worry about ranking the rest. Deadline to submit your Hugo Awards ballot is this Saturday, August 8th at 12 noon PST! Voting is fun. Your votes matter. See you in Anaheim. 🚀

2) You don’t have to vote on everything all at once. The electronic ballot system allows you to save your progress. So you can vote at your convenience and even revise your ballot, so long as it’s submitted by the deadline.

🧵 Three things new @laworldcon.bsky.social attendees & 1st-time Hugo Awards voters sometimes don’t know: 1) You don’t have to vote on every category for your votes to count. EX: Just because you don’t have time to read every Hugo-nominated book doesn’t mean you can’t vote on films & visual arts.

I posted the tiara already but wanted to talk about it. The rhinestones are multicolored so although they look clear and yellow at different angles they look gold and blue. This is nine pieces of filigree on the piece.

I am thinking I need to make more bats for world fantasy. I loved these. But need to make them sturdier I think this time as these were very delicate.
