home is wherever I'm with you

the vague shape of it is getting there … . .

needs more bands

MORE BANDS

becoming a flat onion

the top is removed so i can get inside of it

 … and then a band of cardboard is placed on the inside to support it ( its standing !! )

the bands are cut on the places where they jut out and then overlapped and taped, so the shape is smoother but its STILL an onion

so i cut the whole damn thing in half and added a big band of cardboard in the middle to lengthen it out. the Orb is being born

its rounded out a little bit more on the sides and then the mouth is cut out 

FABRIC

F A B R I C  ( this is the point in the game where my gluegun stopped working, and so everything from this point on is glued by me heating the sticks over a candle flame. nice

the seams on the fabric are cut and glued into place ( and hand stitched in a lotta places and a lot of em look, Really bad in the back h hah  HA ) and the teeth ( fleece, cardboard to keep em flat, and a little bit of stuffing ) are thrown in the mouth

tongue cuttin

handstitched the seams on the tongue, got the base for it ready and the eyes cut out

the EYES ( cardboard with white on one side, black on the other, and a little thin strip of black going along the edge ) ( also the pupils arent glued down yet hey )

EYES

TONGUE

THERE THEY ARE

tulle time, so  much goddamn tulle

SO much of it just everywhere on the back its a mess, the back looks like an awful grape but it doesnt matter its the BACK

heres the Looking Hole ( theres black mesh netting over the top ) - the little pink eye details are also in

Random act of kindness on a train

This is my handsome boyfriend Cody. For some reason, I always look at him like he’s a piece of candy (or God’s gift to Earth) when we take pictures together.

He is the smartest, funniest, most interesting person I’ve ever had the pleasure of calling my best friend.

Two years ago, we were told that Cody had a stage three sarcoma. The survival rate for a stage three sarcoma is 56%. Cody pushed through and beat his cancer after a total of three painstaking surgeries, two weeks in the hospital, weekly doctor’s appointments, numerous PET/CT scans, and an entire month of radiation.

In November, about a year since his last radiation appointment, the sucker came back. It’s grown a great deal since then. The results of his biopsy came back today as positive for cancer.

Cody is my best friend. I would do anything for him. We’ve been together for three years, and in the time it took us to get where we are now, we’ve been through so much unbelievable crap that I’m surprised we made it out in one piece, but we did. I have no doubt we’ll pull through this again.

But we need help. Cody’s medical bills racked up so quickly that we can’t even keep track of them all. They’re being sent to collections almost every single day. Cody is neck-deep in debt, and he isn’t even 23 yet. The medical bills never stop, and they’re not going to get any better with the recent unfortunate news.

If you can spare $5, it would mean the world to us. And I know, money is tight right now for almost everyone. If you can’t afford to donate, please read and share this story. Share it on your Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and any other social networks you have. Please share this. Spread it like wildfire. Signal boost the crap out of this. It is of great importance.

Cody is the most beautiful, kind soul I’ve ever met. He would give the shirt off his back to someone, please, help me return the favor.
