Sometimes animator, always a sculptor, often drowning in works in progress.
Made a working window for my stop motion set. It didn't need to open and close, but it worked out that way!

Detail work on my painted Belgian buns!
The glaze thinning at the top of the bread is achieved through a dry brush mix of orange-brown and gloss white

I love this design as it reminds me of Marmalade the Dog Horse. It's honestly perfect. No changes needed

Beauty shots of my puppet from Jelly Baby! This little cutie pie net me a bronze award in the LA Animation Festival!
Making the eyes long was a challenge and half, but I used my knowledge of medieval castles to make it work.

A Piroulene tin, Icebreakers container, a small amount of poster tube and a lot of Milliput makes yet another post box by me!
This is now my third and hopefully final go at making a post box.

The discovery that Smartwater contains the letters to make "arse" and "twat" inspired me to modify my water bottle I got free at a train station!

Modifying a Skipper/Barbie scooter for my set decoration has been a lot of fun. Looks like it should be a decent project for the next few weeks!

Whilst working on a fun TARDIS build for my stop motion scale, I made the signage myself as I couldn't find a nice high resolution image or previously made download.
Feel free to use them for your own Brachacki box builds

Been fascinating living through a major storm that had freezing rain. Created these beautiful, crystal like stalactites on the trees and also my bicycle!
Wish it wasn't so destructive. These added so much weight and the matching wind downed many a tree and killed the power to most of Michigan.

I will say there's something beautiful about remaking something you assumed was fine once you have a better skill set to make it work.

Who knew a 1/7 set based on a fake Cornish street would be massive and a ridiculous undertaking!
I am so close to having a fun build I can show off with floors and such :)

The snow is starting to melt around town and it's revealing the pure ice underneath! Proper stacked it at least three times.

A funky unfinished project to share somewhere with other art people!
A semi biographical short about eating near seagulls, when I had a sausage roll stolen from me on my walk to uni. Luckily, I had a backup ready.
