#blaugust / what is blaugust?
whoops, i missed a couple days of blaugust. i wanted to keep it going every day all month, but i've had a weird past couple days & didn't want to make another post that was basically nothing — even if this whole thing is an experiment in being less rigid in what i put on my blog, i still don't want to completely clog it up with nonsense posts. i gotta have some standards, i think, even if i'm trying to make them less strict.
i've been pretty busy trying to prepare for flamecon, which is next weekend — if you're in nyc, come say hi! one thing i've been making, mostly after i finish drawing for the day as a little winding-down nighttime activity, is these felt pins. i've done them for a couple cons in the past but i always forget to properly document them, so most of my previous ones are lost to time.
usually they're 100% hand-sewn; this time, i used some parts of a few of them as practice on my sewing machine, but mostly they're still done by hand, since they're pretty small and finicky. i'm hoping to make a couple more before flamecon, but getting all my other stuff ready should probably be more of a priority, so we'll see if i end up adding anything to this post later!
