I spent several days prepping these 2 masks by MissMonster. The moffman I plan to paint with shimmer blacks/blues, install glowing amber eyes, and make a hood with embedded rooster feathers. The half snarl I will be painting for my partner (once he decides on a theme).

The sleeping bag zip miwaks bodysuit maker found for me unfortunately proved unreliable when I stress tested it with the actual tail. I spent time last year hunting down YKK continuous zip tape & fittings to custom a length, which involved carefully removing teeth from the tape. Then I removed the tail sheath, whip stitched…

My daedalus, aka birdie, arrived! Sadly, it somehow managed to ship missing the main tensioner so now I have to wait for that part to be shipped out to me…although, someone in my fibre community suggested a possible temporary solution I could try… Regardless, this machine is super quiet & I can’t wait to start…

Since receiving my bodysuit I’ve been wracking my brains for how best to install the tail zip, since upon closer inspection & despite excellent communication with the suit maker, the tail port circumferance is 9cm too long (aka was cut oversized compared to info/replica tail base I provided). The best & easiest solution I could…

I bought myself a rotating spindle stand from Kravelli on etsy to better store my spindle collection. Only my drop spindles don’t fit in it, so those will remain in the pebble filled jar.
