been taking time off from digital art and drawing solely on paper with some crafting on the side. i have a tiny ikea coffee table filled with paints, brushes and lacquers for painting clumpy clay figurines i made and stones i collected from the beach at night. i forgot to take photos of it, but i made my bestie a figure of her cat with a tiny food bowl. it was a lengthy process for such a small thing from making the frame from aluminium foil to sculpting the body, letting it dry in between, painting it, putting on lacquer and finally gluing some felt on the ears and tail for added texture. but it was really fun! i also carved a piece of wood and filled the indent with clay to make a katamari-esque creature, haven't painted a face for it yet though.
i love sitting on the floor, the table is just a tad too high
from the stones i found a perfectly ichigotchi shaped rock, so that's what it became. i've stored my brushes so haphazardly that all of their tips had bent and it was hard to control the strokes... i think i managed to save at least one poor victim by trimming it some. for the rest of the tiny bunch i made a perch, the miniest strawberry and lastly a mushroom painting on a flat rock. i put on matte lacquer on top of most of them but as you can see, it definitely isn't as matte as promised on the bottle's label.
took a close-up of the perch because i'm quite happy with the result
for other crafts i secured another clothes dye packet. there's a bunch of yellow clothes i want to turn green, the dye i got is more of a deep turqoise so we'll see what happens in the wash... for tamagotchi updates, the first generation of my tamagotchi uni and smart both ended up being mametchis. now on the second gen the smart ended up being yet another mametchi, while the smart is a woopatchi, first time seeing the design and i love her. all i wish was that they didn't beep me awake so early in the morning...
