I’m watching paint dry. And epoxy putty. And wax. I washed a coat earlier so I get to watch that dry too. For the sake of my sanity I decided not to start something else in the meantime.

Added a few scruffy layers of paint to the almost Furiosa mask. I thought about sitting and watching the paint dry but did some cyberpunky stuff instead. Then I sat and watched glue dry.

I made some teeth for the Furiosa mask and nearly eeked out a second set from the remaining Milliput. It’s the first time in my life I’ve made angry sausages….

Added some car body filler to the edges of the Furiosa skull mask as it was too thin and flimsy. Tomorrow will see me shrouded on a cloud of dust.
Picked up a good quality skull which I may, or may not use to make moulds for future skull masks.

I saw the Furiosa trailer along with just about everyone else! Here’s the start of a skull mask inspired by the glimpse in the trailer. It won’t be a slavish copy because that’s not my thing.

This hydration pack / rebreather / oxygen tank / radio backpack rig thing has gained a life of its own. If I don’t stop adding things to it will need wheels!

Next level distressing! Any more and it would be on the box with the other destroyed clothes! When time permits they’ll be layered over whole shirts! British army t shirt after a trip through the s**t tank and some time spent outside rinsing in the Cornish liquid sunshine.

Cessy helped me photograph a heap of stock for the Etsy shop.
By helping I mean she tried to dig a hole in the sofa, scrounged for food and generally looked sweet and innocent. There’s over fifty new items that need their photos editing and uploading.

Doing a couple of dirty cyberpunk things at the moment. Then it’s time for some flesh and bones.
I also happened across the most terrifying plush bunny today so there’ll be some mutilation soon.
In theory I’m doing photography for a massive Etsy drop tomorrow…

A huge admission. Today I used a cable tie in a post apocalyptic build.
It was the second one in six years.
I hope that it won’t become a habit as cable ties will be rarer than hen’s teeth after the apocalypse.

Just ask the pisky for directions.

I was asked to make a steampunkish medal. So I made a filthy dirty grungy one first. Then made the clean one. I feel violated.
It’s not that I hate steampunk but I hate steampunk.

I’m puppy sitting this weekend so no postapo work for me. I’m cut to ribbons and look like something out of a horror movie. She is gradually learning not to bite the hand that feeds.

Whilst paint dries on another creation I got busy on these masks. One is covered in chamois and stitched with artificial sinew. The other uses leather offcuts and some bicycle tyre. Fixed with double cap rivets, from which I have a rivet shaped dent in my thumb.
We will see what adornments they’ll receive when I have a good old rummage!

The best customer any creator can have is one that says ‘make something that’ll match xyz’ and then let’s you do your thing.
Making this costume to be worn alongside wonderful Cthulhunaut helmet has really given me the kick up the arse that I needed! I’ve been too involved in running other people’s festivals and have neglected my own work. NB. I am still working hard on next year’s F # # # # # # F # # # # #…

I seem to have found some mojo down the back of the sofa. Currently there’s a couple of masks, a rebreather camelback thing, the dolly rebreather has resurfaced and I’m scrabbling around for some webbing. There’s a steering wheel behind me which just needs a large amount of faffing to finish.

Tasty titbits from the latest commission. The log burner is blasting out the heat to dry the paint washes and I’m sweating like a hog because of it. It’s taken a rather Soviet turn because I’m partial to some stray radiation.

It’s a thing. Or part of a thing.
I finally found a use for some of the hundreds of blood sugar test strips pots. If I can repurpose insulin pens I will be very happy indeed!
Come back tomorrow, or Sunday for an update of the thing.

My current commission has a maritime flavour which called for a ships engineer type logo. It’s NOT steampunk, despite having a bloody cog on it.
If ever I get any closer to a steampunk design will you shout at me? I don’t do steampunk, not for love nor money.

These are some of the things that prevent me from getting stuff done.
Rampant toothache, my awkward bull lurcher and working on bloody cars.

I had to interrupt my tidying and toothache to quickly sort out a pair of goggles for a Hallowe’en party in New York. My tidying hasn’t reached the shed where the stock is and the power supply has failed, so it was less hassle to start a pair from scratch.
I do dream of being organised but it’s not in my nature.

More tidying! I’ve unearthed all manner of post apocalyptic treasures whilst sorting out my corner. One big push and I’ll have a mass of new products on Etsy!

I’ve been having a sort out. Here’s a boxful of goggles I’d painted and each and every elastic strap has perished. Here’s to a very dull evening sorting them out!
