I've spent a bunch of this week working on two new display boxes for my booth. It involves a lot of spreading glue, then waiting for the glue to dry.

I've also (still) been working on the walls for my canvas booth tent, a bit every day.

Today is more of the same, plus a bit of cooking & also catching up on WAY too many dishes.

I am finally back to letterwriting! Finished a couple yesterday. I don't know if I'll have time tomorrow, though - today, I didn't have any. But I am still pretty pleased with myself.

Hope your drawing and crafts went well and Ebay does, too!

Second load of laundry is in the dryer and I've gotten the sketch done. I'm not sure the fabric would drape exactly like I've drawn, but without pinning up a model I can't be sure. I think it's good enough.

[silvercat17]

Why are there not dishes fairies, I always ask

[silvercat17]

Good for you!

[kellan_the_tabby]

YES, ALSO THIS

I've been doing a lot of sketching today and the past couple days, just getting the characters and posing down before starting on the actual piece, which has been slow-going :'D

[kellan_the_tabby]

Got more than half the dishes done & they're drying. Got a bit more glueing on the display boxes done -- only one more bit of that, then tomorrow I paint the purple parts purple.

I unloaded the pallets I found Tuesday from the van, then used a couple to stack the various lumber bits we've accumulated. The cats halped, by which I mean 'ran around like fuzzy gits until the wind got to be too much & they came back inside'.

Gotta load the week's trash & recycling into the van now that the pallets are out & take them to the transfer station, then it's time for experimenting with peanut butter breakfast bars.

OH & also I gotta finish designing the display sign for the incenses, with prices & all that. Which needs to be ready to get clearcoated at the same time as the display boxes.

SO MUCH THING

[kellan_the_tabby]

Are you working towards a pattern? Or a finished drawing?

[kellan_the_tabby]

WHEEEEEE preliminary bits

[kellan_the_tabby]

Booth sign:



Next I need to print it, cut it out, cut the backing stuff, modpodge it to the backing stuff, glue on the clothespin...

...so many Thing...

Got most everything in the car to go down to the transfer station. Except that. I just noticed that it's, err, closed. CURSE ME FOR SLEEPING IN ugh fark, now I gotta wait til Wednesday

A finished drawing. But it involves made-up clothes for one of the cultures I've invented and drawing draping cloth is hard. (This is why in comics most people wear spandex which is really just painted on)

[silvercat17]

Why does everything involve so much stuff????

[silvercat17]

Making progress on my craft. I'm dremeling the middle out of a google phone box to make a display case. I'm not going to get it done today because it's ridiculously thick.

I've put it away for now so I can do more chores. Yay chores

[silvercat17]

Look at this, it's ridiculous

[kellan_the_tabby]

It really is; I've only drawn the most basic sketches of outfits, but I've always been working towards a pattern & then finished clothing, not a drawing, so I could always work out the drape once I actually had the fabric in hand.

I know they sell little jointed models of humans for drawing reference; could be fun to play with making tiny clothing for them to check the drape.

[kellan_the_tabby]

RIGHT it is UNACCEPTABLE

[kellan_the_tabby]

it'll ... be ... sturdy as crap? #FindingTheSilverLining #ItsUnderAllThatCardboard

[silvercat17]

And it was free.

[kellan_the_tabby]

Best kind of craft ingredient.

I have a couple cell phone boxes I'm using for keeping my sewing stuff organized & available, & someday I'm gotta decorate them, but that's WAY down the list. I've also got the VERY nice & VERY sturdy boxes my Google Wifi thingers came in, which I still haven't decided what to do with. They'll be something cool, someday.

Breakfast bars are assembled & in the oven! I started with a 'healthy' recipe that was for sure healthy because it's gluten free & also vegan! Since I'm not vegan & don't have any troubles with gluten (& also don't like oatmeal) I substituted wildly, so it'll be interesting whether or not it turns out to be food.

The sign is printed & cut out, the backing stuff is cut out, & the glue holding the clothespin on is drying. Hoping to get the paper modpodged on today so I can use tomorrow to sturdy up the edges of the sign with glue, a favourite trick of mine.

Yet to come, the sewing. Also I realized I hafta scoop the litterbox, ugh. Why they can't just dig a hole outside I do not know -- it would help a _little_ -- but even Major Tom, former feral, prefers to come inside & use the litterbox these days.

[silvercat17]

I have some good ones I'm selling on eBay because I never use them. I could use some of my action figures.

[kellan_the_tabby]

You get +5 to Dorkery for that, too.

[kellan_the_tabby]

Litterbox scooped, trash & recyclage in the van & ready to go, sign's modpodged on, & the breakfast bars are tasty, though they could be moister. Basically I've done everything but the sewing, & that's because I've been dreading the damn sewing.
