Working on a male figure, getting the facial features refined before attaching to the shoulders for a bust. The head "cap" goes on last, then hair gets added. Fun times!

Welded together a double ring "cage" for Grands Spider's red crystal orb. The long legs will be welded to the back of her web.

CNC cut steel for the Olympia spider sculpture upgrade! Nice straight lines make to translate into the stylized tree Cherokee Grandma Spider will peer from.

Morning coffee with my new mug! Thanks @trotterpotter.bsky.social ! Oh, and that's his dog Baux's paw print deeply impressed on the side. This thing is really beautiful from all angles, well balanced and feels great in the hand. The bottom is sweet too, with circular wire marks pulled through.
