UPDATE 1/26/23: Looking at this, I'm really happy with it. My skills have improved a bit since and I'd make a much nicer one today if I remade it, but it wasn't a bad job at all! I had no idea what I was doing! On a semi-related note, I have a crochet Star Whale pattern available as well as crochet Dalek beanies , if you have stumbled on this post. You can see what physical items I have available in my Etsy shop ! I wrapped my cybershade mask up earlier this week. I'd almost like to make a full suit, but let's be real - that shit would take forever. Here's a look at the last few steps as well as the finished mask. If you've been paying attention you know that I made this largely out of cardboard. I used model magic in the joints as well as for the pipes that extend from the head. I made the rivets out of air-dry clay. It was all held together by a lot of layers of polyurethane resin. Finally, I painted the thing with some metallic gold paint. After th...

Update 1/23/23: Long posts are good wtf was old me talking about? lol Blogs are for the search robots, not for actual people to read! I mean, you totally can read them. I try to still make them readable for human beings and such. I know a lot more about SEO now than I did back in the day. If you found your way here for llamas, check this out: Jerry Horne's Llama Mitts I reverse-engineered Jerry's mitts and also included the llama chart. I made some hats with it. It's free! Also, while you're here, you should take a look around my Etsy ! If you want free stuff then I have to sell stuff, such is life. You can also see if my commissions are open. For patterns, head to Ravelry ! I'm now offering a cool monthly subscription service on Ko-Fi too!  ~~~~ Beware: Long Post Because I Don't Feel Like Making Multiple Posts. I'm working on a lot of things right now, including some personal projects and I'm about to start a pretty big commission as well. New Hats ...

UPDATE 1/26/23: I'm out of control, but semi-related to all of this...I have a crochet Star Whale pattern as well as crochet Dalek beanie patterns available! UPDATE 1/23/23: I did, indeed, finish this mask. I still have it somewhere. I think I made a later post about wearing it at DragonCon and the Doctor Who children did not even recognize it because I guess they don't want the holiday specials or whatever? The Doctor Who fandom is sort of shitty, imo. For such a wholesome show, a lot of the fans are gorbage. No offense to the fans who are not! I am generalizing. It's just not a very cool fandom in my experience and I think that is exceptionally weird considering the source material. You know what is a pretty great fandom? Wrestling. For the most part, wrestling fans are excellent. There is, of course, a sub-set of fans that are mysoginist fuckfaces, but again, in my experience, the bulk is wholesome. The opposite of Doctor Who. I am just rambling to give words to the s...

UPDATE 1/23/23: I'm here to provide updates on all of my ancient posts, 9 years later. I never finished this, if anyone is wondering. Part of me wants to make it with foam clay...  So here's this - a good ol' Miss Hartigan/Cyberking headpiece WIP. It's obviously not done. I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do with it or even if it's going to fit my head properly. I'm also unsure about its durability. All-in-all I'm really unsure, but it's been fun so far. I'm leaning toward applying a thin layer of fiberglass after I have all of the pieces finished then I'll paint it and drop it off of the porch to see if it breaks. Or I might use it to make a cast and then make it in another material. No idea. This is some air-dry clay I had on hand and a foam head. I do love foam heads.
