Yesterday I got a bit more work done on a commission I’ve been working on for a friend just over two years. Eventually I need to ink it on the computer so it can go on a t-shirt.
It’s a totem for one of his Werewolf the Apocalypse characters, a closet filled with an unimaginable number of kittens.

Happy to announce I’ve just released a new drone/dark ambient-ish/spooky synth album on Bandcamp:
100% of proceeds will be donated to Reclaim the Block and Afrorack. Today (June 5) is #bandcampfriday and they’re waiving all fees – and I’m also matching donations.
Patch and production notes are here.

reupholstered some chairs with bamboo from the back yard.
the brown one was on the curb due to the bottom ripped out. torched the synthetic material to prevent further fraying before I started.
the black one wasn’t designed for outdoor use and the seat couldn’t drain water, so I drilled it out and beat the metal concave before I started.

I’d heard a rumor of chainmail hacks that were impervious to wind, but never actually saw one.
what are they filled with?

These are filled with plastic pony beads, I just had some around at first and have kept using them. I don’t like using plastic much but have one or two other bracelet/necklace patterns that require pony beads, especially the glow in the dark ones.
I also save all my scrap, scratched up rings in a jar and occasionally use those as fill. I link them into chains first before filling the bag. Those have a bit of a different feel and sound.

I’m terrible with hacky sacks so I don’t have a good assessment. And I haven’t had friends try any real tricks. They are easier to control when less full so I have to resist the urge to overfill them, which looks nicer, unless I’m making one as just a fidget toy.
Right now I’ve got them listed as $25 for a ready to ship and $27 for a made to order one on my shop. They take about $5 worth in materials and around an hour of construction.

I’d have to use a stopwatch to be sure. I always take a break between halves though. Knitting mail will cramp up your hands pretty quick. I don’t think I could make more than three of these bags in a day without wrecking my hands.
Edit: Also the ones with slightly larger rings are easier, the ones like this from all 1/4 inch rings take longer if I mess up the first step. And for some color patterns I might mess up and need to redo a few rows which also adds time.

My masks are getting better. My father’s mother was a seamstress, who supported 8 kids and a couple of useless husbands with a treadle sewing machine. I’ve been told that she could look at a dress, then look at a person, and make that dress for them, without even measuring.
My abuela was not a nice person, sometimes horrible and abusive, but I do admire the ability to sew beautifully. I’m not there, but I am getting better!
