Status Update - Projects & Life
10 years ago
Damn. It's been two weeks since I posted anything, so I just wanted to confirm I am Not Dead.
Here's what's happening with my projects: I'm working very hard on some requests. I bit off a little more than I can chew, but I'm learning a whole damn lot in the process. (I understand now why some of my favorite yarns (Fun Fur/eyelash) is considered unpopular...)
I've been watching a whole bunch of video game streamers, and it's been inspiring potential projects. In the brain pan currently are thoughts of a custom Vault Boy doll (Fallout), Samus in armor (Metroid), and the Prince from Katamari Dama-...Daman-... Whatever, the Space Trash game.
I also took a little break and quickly knit a side project - a headband cozy for my headphone set. I love my headphones, but the rubber headband chaffed a little and I'm paranoid about my thin hair...
This coming Monday (Aug 10th), I will also be taking some time to learn about how to price crafts! I have always been open for commissions, but as my projects get larger and more demanding, I feel it's more important than ever to establish a fair pricing scheme.
Here's what's been happening with me (should you care to know): I had a birthday (Aug 3rd)! I got turned down for a job I was super pumped for, which was the first time that's happened to me - learned how much that can suck. This also means I'm still job hunting. I did a whole freakin' ton of delicious cooking, trying out a bunch of new recipes. My family (including the cat and dog) came down from Canada to visit for a whole month! I love hanging out with my mom, and I'm pretty stoked to see my brother. I got Rocket League, which is Awesome! I've also been playing a lot of Age of Mythology and Guild Wars 2 with my sweetheart. If you're on Steam, feel free to friend "Lil Violet Vixen".
TL;DR - Did you know that, when I'm not working on personal projects, I do commissions? Also, you can keep up-to-date with my projects and everyday shiz by following me on Twitter LilVioletVixen !

FA+

I've had another request from a friend to make an Orc plushie.
Note to self: Try to make minis. They're faster to make usually, and easier to make for requests.
