Adulting mail. Got an offer from Verizon for some hefty discounts on a phone. I love my S7 Edge. But it gets so hot these days it literally shuts itself off from overheating. And the bottom inch of the screen is now completely white out. So ... upgrade. Also got a new laptop earlier this week for about $300, since I won't be able to use the Cricut maker I'm getting for my store without it. The model I chose has a bay for a hard drive, so I pulled the drive from my dead laptop. If all goes well, i will have saved money since i won't have to pay Geek Squad to back up the drive! The loan I took out is paying for these key pieces of tech so I can retool my store and offer new merch. I hope to start designing new stuff in the next week or so, and my Patreon patrons are going to suffer through my experiments! I am so looking forward to this! #adultingmail #debetsy #whentechgoesbad https://www.instagram.com/p/B1PTQZmllzs/?igshid=1ap7exnwadj9x

Prepping new stock for my store. L to r: Backpack Bucky, Civilian Steve, and Howling Commandos Bucky, my Winter Soldier trinket box, and my Stealth Cap trinket box. All custom Pops come with custom packaging as shown, plus a custom base, art cards and a coloring card, plus an acrylic charm. The trinket boxes are part of a fannish gift box I'm going to be adding - multiple options so each can be personalized for that Stucky fan in your life. Watch this space for more designs coming, including Sergeant Barnes, Captain Rogers, Stammi Vicino Yuri, Coach Nikiforov, and more. #custompop #debart #debetsy #stockingthestore #supportyourlocalartists https://www.instagram.com/p/BtMA34uHPWY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=my39szokdgsu

The head on the right has been painted with a richer brown, with black highlights scrubbed in with a dry brush. I really like the depth this creates, rather than the flat brown of the standard paint. I also did a little dry brush scrub to bring some color to his face - the Edward from Twilight Pop is soooooo pale This is a head for my "Red Carpet Sebastian" custom Pop. Really pleased with how he's looking! #custompop #debart #debetsy https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq6LdXAn2K9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=121czar3jq0ys

Prepping more fabric for mini plushies, soon to debut in my store. This process makes the ink colorfast, which means it can stand up to mild washing. I'll need to write up a care instruction sheet to go with these guys. I have many more designs in mind, but these are among the first. #debart #debetsy #funwithcrafts #thereisnosuchthingastoomanybuckys #canthavetpomanysteebieseither https://www.instagram.com/p/BnzpSLFAiM4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15yiay5hnoa3u

These little guys are about to go live in my Etsy store. Handmade original art plush keychains/backpack mascots. They come with both a lanyard clip and a key ring so you can adapt them for yourself. This is only five of the 16 designs ready to go - Stucky and Yuri on Ice so far, and I’m planning Malec (Shadowhunters), Sheith (Voltron), and probably My Hero Academia and Free! In the near future. #debart #miniplushadventures #debetsy https://www.instagram.com/p/BnPuqAFHMiT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9kujrq8asq3d

Next up, plush versions of Pops in my Etsy store. These guys are about three inches high, and I think I’m going to try a larger size, too. These and other designs will be added to my Etsy store this week. #debart #miniplushadventures #debetsy #debpopplush https://www.instagram.com/p/BnPx6rpH-fU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1eymfsq3q60u3

Testing out a clay figure design for a snowglobe design I'm playing with. #debart #debetsy #whocoulditbenow https://www.instagram.com/p/B09JcgRlF3x/?igshid=ah6cra6tyk0n

No pin mail today! Instead let's call this shop mail. Stars and hearts silicone trays for soaps and candles to be made for my Etsy store. I also have shield silicone trays ... They'll be offered alone and in selections to make up fannish gift boxes. My Etsy store closes Monday so I can focus on developing new products. I plan to reopen later in September with a whole new lineup! #debetsy #craftandstuff https://www.instagram.com/p/B09FnXElQO1/?igshid=2c7blm73imd
