Fuck You Universe, I'm Going to Win
I'm stressed. Unbelievably, unrealistically, horribly stressed. I'm tired. I'm bitter, I'm angry. And above all, I'm poor, which is about 99% of the issue ( Read more... ) -
"Duh" Moments
You ever been looking on Etsy, and happened to think of something you wanted and in the next second, have a giant “duh, I'm a moron” moment? I had one tonight.
Among other things, I have a Blythe. Actually, she's a Basaak, which is the fake version of Blythe but having handled both, they're pretty darn close to equal. My doll, Æris, is really my ( Read more... ) -
The Ups and Downs to Shrink Plastic
When things work out with me and shrink plastic, they work out VERY well. When they go wrong? They go VERY wrong.
So because this blog is about learning as much as my place to vent and yak my little fingers out, I'm going to go with the bad first.
Now, last year, I came up with a jointed doll that I dubbed the “Bondage Babes”. They're for the ( Read more... ) -
To Brand or Not to Brand
So I have a bit of a conundrum. Nothing major, not even that exciting really, but to me, important.
So I do all sorts of things with shrink plastic. Buttons, rings, and even dollhouse chairs. Some of my stuff is drawn or hand colored, but a lot of stuff is done with a printer. But don't underestimate how much work goes into something. It's ( Read more... ) -
Inkjet Shrink Plastic vs Regular Shrink
I got a surprise commission today, but it gave me a chance to do some serious experimenting. I'd worked a couple times with inkjet shrink plastic but not in any depth really so I won't claim I know the stuff beyond avoiding it because it is insanely expensive. But anyhow, an old friend had seen my buttons and asked if I could do some custom buttons ( Read more... ) -
Updating -Finally
So I haven't updated in forever, and realized, I very much need to. I do update my blog over to Wordpress on occasion, but I haven't been doing any of the three very much. And I need to. While Facebook can be great, its not the place for venting as I do. And I don't do BDSM posts here anymore, I do them up on Fetlife.
Basically, not much going on ( Read more... ) -
Dress Diary - Dirndl Lolita Dress
Well, I finally want to sew again, although it might go slowly until I have fabric and stuff. So this entry is only going to be about my plans, and most of the progress may wind up on Facebook. I haven't decided yet.
OK, so I'm going to attempt what is called in the land of Lolita, a "JSK" which is a jumper style dress. I have no idea right now on ( Read more... ) -
Tohoku Tote
I made a purse, that's nearly done, from a pattern from I Am Momma Hear Me Roar's "Tohoku Tote" which I figured was a pretty cute bag, and I've been on a kick with making purses. So far so good, I need to head back to the fabric store and pick up more of the green, I thought I had plenty, but when I did the straps, they are far too short at 20" ( Read more... ) -
Fishy fishy by the Sea...
Well, not really. But since I'm sitting here waiting for some smelt to cook up, I figured I'd post.
Nothing really going on. Xmas was it's typical thing that I'm rarely into. I'd rather give my gifts to those I care about year round, not just one day a year. Now, Festivus on the other hand, well, I could totally get behind that concept.
But, I ( Read more... ) -
The Trailer Situation
As some may know, my trailer is the bane of my existence. It was bought on the understanding that is was an improvement on That 70's Trailer and it wasn't. Not by any stretch. First was the mold that began to appear the second winter in it. Then a separation between the push-out and the main part to the trailer reared it's ugly head. So for about 2 ( Read more... )
