Put the finishing touches on the commission pyo. Using model foliage on a sculpt was new for me, but I’m so pleased with how selective foliage placement has made this

These parts are for the green fantasy bird skull mask they are making and feature a wired feather fan in the tail, hidden tail belt loop, and conductive thread fingertips (so you can use your phone in suit!).

For TDF I’m prepping some egyptian cotton I got when I first started spinning. I’ve never spun cotton before but my first impressions are … I seriously don’t like the smell, it smells super weird in a bad funky kind of way even though it’s clean. I don’t think I’m a cotton person simply because…

I love how with some antiquing and details, windstone sculpts suddenly pop to life! I’m calling the painting done on this now. I’m planning to selectively gloss parts of the dragon to bring out the metallic colours & see if adding some model foliage to the rock will make this more awesome.
