Unable to finish Wickander for MAGFest. Just tried to put white trim on the armholes of this top for Lune baguette and it's all wavy & looks awful when I wear it.

Very close to crashing out.

Here is how I look in my other circle frames from Zeelool. Much cuter! I think it's the width of the nose bridge that makes me look goofy af. I even tried Zenni's "Try it On" option and the glasses did NOT look like that in the previews.

Spent New Year's Eve priming, sanding, & painting this pair of sunglasses for Lune's baguette outfit from Expedition 33. After the clear gloss coat dried, I went to pop the lenses back in & fucked up the paint job & found the lenses had warped. 🫠

How is y'alls' 2026 going so far?

2025 was a rough year from the start. I lost 3 of my aunts, my father also passed, someone we thought was a friend took advantage of us & took $20k from us. But there was some good. I got diagnosed with ADHD & found good meds. I also made these 6 big projects:

Today's task is engraving the designs in these 2 aluminum bracers. I will definitely be wearing a respirator & goggles because when heat & friction hit aluminum, it makes aluminum oxide which is VERY BAD for your lungs! Work in a well ventilated space! I am working in my open door garage!
Two silver metal forearm bracers with wavy marks drawn on both lay on a grey speckled granite countertop with Dremel bits, a Dremel electrical corded engraver, mini screwdriver, and an unopened package of engraving bits.

An attempt was made & now I must remake it in silver colored copper wire instead to try soldering the joints.
A silver metal tiara with 7 alternating length straight rays coming off the middle arch design. The welding at the attachment points is clumpy and messy.

Watching the Mythical Kitchen's "Last Meals" ep with @matthewmercer.bsky.social & was surprised to see one of his favorite meals is bok gum gai aka Hainanese chicken! I LOVE this dish & am sad that my husband, @drift0r.bsky.social, isn't a fan of it so I don't cook it often. 🥲

@purple0dragon.bsky.social came over tonight carrying a propane torch, welding gloves, and aluminum brazing rods! She mostly did the hard work as I handed her tools. We learned a lot about welding aluminum & that it is hard af. I will be remaking it in silver copper wire & will try soldering.

Tonight's Christmas Eve crafting with a friend was nice and chill and I managed to make these bracers from an aluminum sheet I picked up from Home Depot. I drafted the pattern myself. I may upload it to my Ko-Fi blog for download.
6 inch wide, 18 inch long, 22 gauge silver brushed aluminum sheet with partially removed sticker laying on a speckled grey granite countertop. Above the metal sheet lays a red rubber textured handled tin snips. A hand gently holds a rounded in a U-shape aluminum sheet bracer shaped pieces. The other piece sits upright on a grey speckled granite countertop also bent into a U-shape. 2 silver brushed aluminum metal open back forearm bracers lay on a speckled grey granite countertop with a teal canvas covered tape measurer with some tape unspooled messily.

Y'all have probably seen my older posts about the making of the tiara from aluminum & finding out the hard way that a simple soldering iron cannot solder aluminum due to too low of heat.
Luckily, I possibly found a solution & a propane torch.
Triple photo collage of JWo modeling the early model of Wicander Halovar's Candescent Creed tiara. At this early state, it is just a wide V-shape thin silver circlet. A hand holds the 3mm wide hammered silver aluminum circlet. In the background out of focus are various pliers, files, anvils, and a white poly board. From eyes and above photo of JWo's head. Another wide V-shaped silver metal piece has been carefully taped upside down with transparent tape centered over the base wide V of the circlet. Photo of front face-on view of a silver 3mm wide flat aluminum circlet with an upside down wide V-shape centered over the wide V center of the tiara base. It sits upon a white poly board on a speckled grey granite countertop.
