Deadly-n-Dapper

Onto the next project! Starting a bit early, juuuust to be sure I get it done in time--but say hello to my Halloween project! As is typical I am making a puppet in spite of having absolutely no experience/knowledge in the area AT ALL.

FINISHED!!! I think for my first time making wigs, I didn't do too badly! Definitely isn't as easy as some people make it look, I would've loved to add a gradient with the colour too, but I'm kinda scared to mess with it any more than it already is. It's not the neatest, but it's the best I can do with my limited skill. I'm pretty happy with it though!

Y'know, I started this project knowing I had no idea what i was doing, but this might actually end up being not be a total and utter disaster! I have some padding to add to add some shape to it. Once it's on and the glue has dried... It's hair time. So unbelievably nervous!

Now my only problem is wondering if this would even be applicable to smaller scale wigs, like I wanted to learn this stuff for in the first place...

Onto the next mini-project, and this time I'm prepping for Halloween! I've always wanted to learn how to make wigs, and since it's a skill I'll probably need in the future, well. No better time to start learning than now! I've successfully crimped this wig without starting any fires, so enjoy watching me figure this out while I get ready to start recording my next big project!

I think if I find any more typos after all the work I did this week to make sure I got them all then I'm just going to accept it. The keyboards are conspiring with my own eyeballs against me and I will never win.

She's finished! She has actually kinda been finished for a while, I just have been hung up on trying to get the damn YouTube video done. It felt like it took forever, but I've been trying to learn more skills to make them better. So hopefully I'll start getting the hang of making these things soon.

Anyway--Didn't she just turn out lovely? I actually kinda, sorta broke her mid-way through the project, and I fixed her with apoxie before thinking about how I was going to sculpt her clothes. So I ended up having to use air dry clay (Which I'm not super great at using) to sculpture them (Which I'm also not good at sculpting yet). So for a little while, it was a worry that I might have to just start over again so I could go back to polymer. There are a couple of things I would have done differently looking back on it, but in the end, I think she turned out great!

Now all she needs is a name...Any suggestions?

Just got a mug that my suuuuuper talented best friend sells on their new shop! So excited!! Making some tea right frickin now and then off to paint the bunny doll!

Juuuust in case you wanted to check em out!

Yeah, my grandad brought home eggs alright.

We have SO MANY EGGS!!! WHY!! Why did he think this was a good idea? Why did he bring so many eggs home? We don't destroy cartons off eggs fast enough for the capacity of eggs currently sitting on our kitchen counter right now. This is an unprecedented number of eggs. I spent like a half-hour soft boiling eggs to be used in various dishes and barely even made a dent, only two people in this three-person household actually would eat the eggs. And that's not including the cat. Who I refuse to give him the eggs no matter how hard he tries to steal them from me when begging didn't work, because frankly I'm the one who has to clean I'd litter.

So yeah, at least I finished sculpting the clothes for the rabbit figurine. I still have a few more details to add once what I have so far is not as smooshable. I can sand her when the clay is dry.

I am filled with rage :)

Also guess what dumb idiot forgot to wear a mask while sanding the other day! I remembered it for most of it, but just as I was finishing up I took it off to give Mittens some attention cuz he was meowing his little head off and trying to walk his fluffy butt over the messy worktop. And I just forgot to pit it back on. And man was I sneezing afterwards.
