#mnemoniconart #valentines #valentinesday2020 #heart #anatomy #skull #spear #arrows #sculpture #love #xiv #saintvalentinesday Best photos of the latest and past made valentines. originally only sculpted in sculpey, i moved on to framework with chicken wire and a mix if paper mache and epoxy- until finally falling upon sculpting it in clay and casting it in plastic resin. the best results vary in my opinion. one one hand the beauty of a really clean model with the ability it make copies is unbeatable sort of, but unless they are customized in some sort of way (as seen with the use of a handmade mini spear and plastic arrows) so that they each have their own uniqueness. making these hollow posed a problem prior to the plastic resin ones as it required sculpting each valentine inside and outside. ‘twas difficult at the time. the plastic resin allows a slosh casting to be made which yields very positive results (pun not intended) @smoothon (the one with the spear and arrows was made with your products- 65d and moldstar in a pressure pot) each of the valentine’s (aside from any copies of the latest one) held a unique message before being seen shut. i dont know anyone who has opened them yet. most people are afraid of being unable to restitch them i think, which is fair; they were a little tricky. the latest one held a mummified finger with a ring around it wrapped in dyed linen asking for my girl’s hand in marriage, the spear retaining all the pieces inside. #occult #voodoo #shesaidyes duh. if you share this pic, just shoot me some cred;) have a happy #vday y’all. https://www.instagram.com/p/B8cmYo2HCYK/?igshid=1h77vmxv9zlis

#prayingmantis #mantis (lol) #mantistobagin ! #origami #insect #robertlang #kempo(for old times sake) #folding #tracingpaper #paper #折り紙 #カボチャ #intermediate or #advanced ? (if the first, i'm afraid for what's harder than this haha) so the most elegant insect in my opinion is the mantis. looks aside- the way the move and attack their prey is quite extraordinary. that being said, it was only natural for me to be drawn to the mantis design after having research these beautiful creatures for hours in preparation of learning the mantis form(or #kata) when i was practicing #kempo. i must say that origami folders such as @joseph_wu_origami and (i don't know if she has IG, but,) this instructor/folder Sara Adams are a HUGE inspiration for me. This origami model (while still just following directions from a book) took me about 2-3 years(on and off) worth of trial and errors. While if i graded myself i'd still only give myself a B or B-(there are a lot of places that aren't exactly symmetrical that cannot be seen- and i DID need to used two slices of tape bc the tracing paper used ripped ever so slightly- I am worlds of happiness that i finally completed this design. Thank you all for looking. Enjoy! (note: i do not know Japanese- just used google translate)

Saturday, November 26th 2016, was Mossimo's last day. —————————– There are really not enough and no words to describe this. So, for now, I won't. Think about Your time with him, and the smile he put on your face. (even if he stole your food) #jafaffie

#spider #spideridentification so I sorta hate killing bugs- bust safety first right? (typo was eight instead of right- talk about symbolism haha) anyway, found this little fellow in our #longisland #greenhouse and it hid and came out, unsure if Its messing with me or what. it fits in that square hole. that's a standard screw head.

@birdinthesky #jafaffie so my sister @veeeev got married today and faffie wanted to take part in the festivities. all the world to my sister and brother in law. much love

#BIRD #blackbird #crow #corvus #noidea lol. two hands on a bird is worth no bird with one? I dunno. dlc aught this bird in our bird in our house. let him loose. and I'm pretty sure he came back to squawk at me several hours later.
