Photos of 2 small blocks of wood, one brown and one purple

There is a Woodcraft store close to my apartment and I finally went inside this week..... this could be very dangerous for me. Lots of tools and gorgeous lumber.
I snagged these blocks of Amazakoure and Purple Heart, thinking I might make some dice trays to test out how they turn.

Spent all day working on a big project for a client, didn't quite get to where I wanted to BUT im actually starting to feel like myself again, actually getting stuff done and not as constantly on edge.
And im counting that as a win.

I printed this Standlium Dagger from Skyrim to see if I could take my "Dip Damascus" technique and apply it to something a bit more fantastical.

It took multiple tries (30 degrees and snowing while attempting it didn't help) but i learned loads and am definitely happy with the finished results!

Gonna continue this train and talk about another black creator that means a lot to me.

Dwayne McDuffie.

One of the founders of Milestone comics which was the first comic book universe that featured black and POC characters and of course Static Shock.

The things I do when im alone in the shop.
-Sing loudly along to my musicals Playlist.
-Listen to books ive read a million times.
-attempt to catch up on Critical Role

Today's activity,
Attempting to practice the Death Metal growl ive been attempting fine tune how to do.
✨️Balance✨️

Even in the darkest times, keep your loved ones and community close.
Resist where you can, support where you can.

Jesus fucking holy hell.

This is what you should get loud about. If you have any Republican representatives, call them now -and repeatedly. Do what you can to stop this from passing.

This is a nightmare.

I know there is a lot of shir going on, but im closing in on my goal for the bulk/ muscle gain im working on.
Ive always felt that my body just wasn't proportional on my frame and with this added mass and the lifting im really starting to like way my body looks, and thats kind of a big deal for me

No preview sucks so here is the post with alt text.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

...... ok so when did lifting and working out turn into something I genuinely enjoy?!?!? When did this happen??

Share a black and white photo of yourself.

Onstage with Oh! You Pretty Things at Femme Fest II last year!

This is possibly the coolest paintjob ive ever done.

I started doing what I call "Dip Damascus" last year and this is easily the biggest blade ive ever attempted it on.
I cant wait to show you all the completed piece.

Things said at the D&D table,
"She's been deflecting magical attacks...... thats why im gonna hit her with a rock"

Look into eyes of a monster.

I am so proud of the way my possessed Percy makeup turned out for Dragoncon.
Even if you didn't see it much in photos.
The scleras were a bit of a hassle to get in but ended up being pretty comfortable.

And now i sit, about a year into what I thought would take like 5, booked solid with Design work through next summer to the extent that I have to turn down more work.......
I guess I can Fully say im a Set Designer now

..... its really weird to unexpectedly reach a career goal and not really notice.
Ive been a Technical Director for almost 8 years at this point.
Ive wanted to do more freelance Set Designing for a while (I can WFH/ greater timeline flexibility for conventions and such)

My mom "can you put all cut off logs in a circle, I think itd look cool"

Yes mom, I will make you a giant fairy circle.

Always watching

A hidden snoot

I love my friends, I wouldn't be able to be where I am without them 🖤

Because I knew you, I have been changed for good.
Happy #WickedForGood week! Missing these goobers 💚

“Thus strangely are our souls constructed, and by slight ligaments are we bound to prosperity and ruin.”
