In the studio casting
After being sick for way too long I'm in the final push to finish casting the Lady of Innsmouth for my Kickstarter backers. Here's a video of the process and the reason I'm building a lot of arm strength and need a massage therapist on call.

The Lady of Innsmouth Kickstarter has Launched
It's been an amazing less-than-24 hours. Since I launched the Kickstarter yesterday (a day earlier than planned) it's already hit half it's funding goal.
The Lady of Innsmouth is 8 1/2 inches tall, I started working on her around March of last year and just recently finished her. My goal through the whole process was to mold and cast her in resin, once I added up everything I was going to need to do the casting run I realized it just wasn't in my budget. Thankfully Kickstarter exists and lets me raise money to create a project in advance. If you back the Lady of Innsmouth you can select from several reward options that will get you a completed Lady of Innsmouth statue in three different finished (white resin, limited edition hand painted resin, and cold cast bronze) as well as some lower cost rewards like bookmarks, and art print, or a resin tentacle. So go ahead and check it out.

Cuttlefish Wedding Cake Toppers
Cake Topper Mark I |
Fast forward to this year and I've been asked to create toppers for two more weddings. While the basic design for each was the same the resulting look couldn't have been more different due to the color schemes for each wedding.
If you would like to order a custom topper for your wedding check out this listing on Etsy. I can create one in your choice of color theme and combination of top hat, veil, or no head gear.

Creating Glass Squid in Resin
Itsy Bitsy Specimen Jars |
Also joining them will be the first 3 pairs of new Specimen Jar Earrings! Check out this photo of the finished jars before I attached the earring hooks. They are super tiny, less than half the size of the jars I use for the Specimen Jar Necklaces.
Glass Squid Pendants |
And now for the videos. I hope you enjoy seeing how these necklaces came to be.

- The 8"x10" print is going to the best answer to the question "If you could have any cephalopod trait (bioluminescence, ink, chromataphore skin, etc) what would it be and how would you use it?" Keep the answers PG please because I will be sharing the winning answer here on the blog and on Facebook.
- The 4"x5" prints will be awarded randomly among the remaining entries.
