Altho I am feeling like hot garbage today, I managed to get 2 big commission pieces finally finished. I just so badly want to get my queue down! Just need to photograph them, and can ship them out. Then onto the next! Thanks again for my extremely patient clients, I love you all.

Gosh, even more good news this week! We will be returning to trade at Fantasy Forest Libertalia next year, AND will be trading at Fantasy Forest Sudeley for the first time! Over the moon, and overwhelmed at the amount of work next year ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…

It's been a long time coming, but Nola here is nearly done. I've pretty much finished shaving her into shape, so the next step is to paint her fur, amongst other things! Really excited to see her finished soon. #fursuit #mask #cosplay #larp #renfaire

Getting really excited for this weekend! Tomorrow, bright and early, we will be ready for Glastonbury Faerie Weekend! We are trading tomorrow and Sunday. Free entry! #Glastonbury #GlastonburyFaerieFayre

Ugh I've had pretty bad insomnia for the past couple weeks. Was hoping to get some sleep tonight - we leave for Glastonbury today to trade all weekend, and I am ded.

I am considering making my Shoulder Dragons available as a do-it-yourself style kit, which would include armature, resin parts, jaw ball joint, and glass eyes. Would people be interested? Also considering including a pattern for fur and general build, or would it be best to just have a tutorial...

I know some people like to go more creative with my doll parts in terms of body shapes, but idk if this would be more of a standard thing or not (with a pattern would be more expensive). Would love some feedback if you've ever thought of wanting one - but needed a more budget-friendly version!

A freshly painted pair of teeth for a commission! Painted by my husband Frank, and digitally sculpted by me. #creature #cosplay #larp #fursuit

I am pretty much moved in so work is slowly resuming! Thank you for your patience! In the mean time, I am considering selling my suit I created this year for FanForest, as I am planning another monster for next year. If there's any genuine interest, contact me via DMs or Telegram for more info.

We will be trading next weekend (Oct 17/18) at the Glastonbury Faerie Fayre! You can find more info here: allevents.in/glastonbury/... Please note, you DO NOT need a ticket to come to the market either day! Entry is free, tix are only for the Faerie Ball on the 17th eve.

There is a tiny, tiny, tiny pinprick of light at the end of this commission tunnel I have found myself in. It's very far, but I can sort of see it. I cannot thank my clients enough for their patience, and I am sorry things have been taking longer than usual. Trying very hard not to burn out here!

A giant sculpture commission I've been working on for a while. Nearly finished sanding, then I can mount it on the stand and paint! This thing is enormous. All the limbs were cut apart and printed separately. Sculpted in Zbrush. It's been weeks of sanding!

3 weeks left until my next event. Both Frank & I are working super hard to get stuff done, also while I'm juggling commissions to get those moving forward. Stressed! I am however very excited to see these current comms come to life. Here are some snippets of each comm in progress.

My Candy Critter magnets, in cold cast aluminium! Frank did an incredible job making these- I just love that finish on them! These were originally sculpted by me in Monster Clay, and then moulded in silicone. I made these probably about 10 years ago or so.

All the drakling orders have been boxed up! I'll take these to the post office tomorrow. Thank you so much everyone, I am truly grateful! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ There are still some available in my webshop! Anything not sold before my next market will come along with me there:)
