On todayās episode of trying to add more Night Lords whimsy into my life, I present to you:
An ear!
I am learning how to work with latex, which means I am currently at the stage of the hobby where every project alternates between āthis is going surprisingly wellā and āI have accidentally created evidence >:Dā
The tear you can see happened because latex got trapped in one of the deeper airless grooves of the mold and never properly cured. Then I got impatient, removed it anyway, and the ear immediately expressed its opinion on my impatience. Nothing a little blood canāt fix, right?
The mold is silicone, so in retrospect it makes perfect sense that thick pockets of latex would struggle to dry without airflow. Iāve been building it up in layers and letting each layer dry between coats, but apparently the correct amount of patience required is greater than the amount I currently possess. But the second ear is already underway! And once I get the process working reliably, the next step is making sheets of skin.
Normal crafting progression. Donāt worry about it.
The original plan was to ābedazzleā my 40k carrying case with flayed skin decorations, but after some consideration I think I should probably start with something slightly less ambitious (ya girl hasnāt figured out how to reliably bond latex to other materials yet without sewing/stapling).
Current contender: āØa fashion statement shoulder wrapāØ
I already have leather lying around somewhere that I could use for straps, which means I am now only a few poor decisions away from becoming overcommitted to the bit! If all goes according to plan, I will soon possess wearable human skin accessories!
Ave Dominus Nox?
