X-Files "Flukeman" (or "Potty Monster" as child me called it). I don't know what inspired my dad to let me watch that show at such a young age, but no regrets. I grew up to have perfectly reasonable amounts of fear for aliens and toilets. Shut up, the rest of the world isn't worried enough!

As usual, Shia can’t have a normal senior checkup. Another UTI and her thyroid issues are back. She’s already burned through her savings to get these things treated, which were supposed to be for much needed dental work. 😑 On top of all of that, me getting sick with covid is a big financial blow.

Apparently it’s a bad idea to read fae lore while sick with Covid. Finally got some sleep last night, and all my dreams had friggin’ death omens in them. 😰 But it's an interesting book, and I really love weird creepy stuff, so I guess oh well.

Almost done with these two halloween bonsais. Just one more pass of shading to do. I am selling these for $175 each plus $15 flat rate shipping in the US. Payment via PayPal invoice. These won't be going up in the shop and will come with me to shows if they don't sell here. DM to claim.

Life is too busy lately! This weekend, I’m getting my canine CPR recertification. Also FINALLY finished the prep stage before painting. It felt like that was taking forever, but I’m trying to keep in mind that it was 150+ sculpts, that will now keep me busy hand-painting for a long time to come.

The newest line of figurines: Cats and rabbits with marbles, among other smaller sculpts. In the gesso stage, white and unfinished.

Oh my, agreed! I’ve run into a misconception that “sculpting” to the general public means everything, like “you must also know how to do all of it from ceramics to metal casting to 3D printing, etc.” But nope, all of those are very different skills/materials.

With the last of the resin used, casting season has now ended! There's still so much to do - sanding, priming, painting, but we're getting closer to seeing some finished examples of these sculpts. #Sculpting #ResinArt #AnimalFigurines #miniature #handmade

Managed to mold and get a few casts of the extra sculpts that will be released in the spring! Casting season may have been cut short. I just have a gut feeling that this fall is going to be soggy and cool. This month we're looking at most days being rainy, so I'm not sure how much more I can cast. 😭

Oh dear, I hope I didn't make more extra sculpts than extra material I have! There's not a good way to estimate. One of them turned out larger, (it was necessary, you'll see why once they're revealed 😁). Also gotta judge my past self for always making difficult sculpts to mold. 😭

Dang, was going through old pendants, the oldest one pictured here is when I started using marbles (no more clear resin), all the way back to 2013! I started doing pendants/casting earlier than that. To be clear, I do enjoy what came of the work, but that’s a long time, ready to do some new stuff!

A variety of colorful pendants done over many years. Dragons, bats, fish, cats, reindeer, griffons. All different colors, all hand painted.

Today the weather tricked me, it was not a good day to cast. So I ran inside to clean the studio, found these on my forgotten to do list. I think I’ve cleaned these guys up for painting twice now. If anyone wonders why I limit the edition on a lot of sculpts…
