Wrapping up a zine for this next collection release--yes, I made a zine just for this collection. I hope to use it as a blueprint for future zines for future collections 😁

Finally got in my groove and figured out how to take the photos these pieces deserve. Very proud of myself. :) A bit more behind the scenes work must be done before these are ready for release!

Reworking my first round of product photos because I wasn't happy with them. This new setup also allows me to take some 360 video!! I'm pleased with how they're turning out so far. Unfortunately the little lights I bought ran out of juice, so I'm half way through waiting for them to recharge!

Did my first round of product photos today, but there's a lot more to do behind the scenes before they're released 😅

I can't believe I haven't posted here yet, but the collection is almost wrapped up!! I varnished all the pieces last week and this week I just need to start taking I photos.
Here's a collection of reference mushrooms so you can see what I was going for: Leucocoprinus Birnbaumii!!

A few weekends ago I had the pleasure of attending the Oregon Country Faire for the first time -- it was such a magical experience I highly reccomend it!!

They're yellow!! At least, the base coats are down. Lots more work to go before I can take the photos and sell them. 😅

Left the studio for a week and came back to these happy baked off babes. Can't wait to finish sculpting all 16++ and get them to painting!! I think taking the product photos will be SOooooOOO satisfying.

I actually got into the studio this week!! I managed to finish sculpting 6 figurines and bake 4 of them off - I've got at least 12 more to make, but as you can see I'm making little baby versions and matured versions, something new. These pieces are designed to stand in plant pots!

Mourning the fact that I've spent less than 40 hours in the studio all year so far... 😔

The blue piece was definitely my favorite from this collection. Not really based on a real mushroom, but the colors turned out good!
