The moustache and the muse

With the fairy festival coming up in just a couple of weeks, we're working on some new products to launch there. One new product will be some Toadstool earrings. Made of resin, they'll be airbrushed and varnished. Also planning on making some as magnets and pins.

What is normal for the spider is Chaos for the fly.

Ziggy emerged from his molt making him an Instar i9. I'm not sure but think he's sub adult. He has gotten so big! He's also darkened in colour which is just so strange. They go into their web looking one way, don't see them for 2 weeks and then they emerge completely different. It's somewhat crazy. Here's his first meal after two weeks in his web, he was starving poor baby.
No I'm still not over my spider phobia.

Had a day re stocking dice trays. We hand cut each insert, then hand paint the edging to make it stand out and remove the white look front the white vinyl backing. It makes such a difference to the final look. This tray is perfect for Call of Cthulhu players.

Sorry I'm being rubbish at Social Media, and online markets lately. I keep having flare up of my conditions. I think it's the heat to be honest. It's kept making me even more fatigued than usual, in more pain and generally recovery from events is taking longer. I'm having fortnightly pain management apps and on a waiting list for Lidocaine Infusions. Fingers crossed that'll help some. So please bare with me. Things are getting done slowly but surely.

Spent the day covering horns in wedding dress silk. It stands us apart from other horn sellers. We manipulate the fibres and layer them, it gives the horns a very fibrous and sinew effect. Has been so lovely working outdoors, fresh air, but the garden is suffering from this third heatwave.
