I shared a table with Bailey Nickerson and Tivoli Nickerson of Candy Capsule at the Asheville Comic Expo. Bailey and Tivoli design and sew their own plushies. Their stuff is very well done. They also sew adorable little pouches, and make stickers. Bailey has the pink hair and Tivoli has the blue hair. We had one of the most popular tables at ACE. I brought stickers, bookmarks, and polymer clay jewelry to sell. I sold out of most of my sticker designs. I bought one of their super cute Narwhal plushies.

I have been so busy with school, I haven't worked on any of my projects for a month! This week I used all of my spare time working on art in a frenzy to get some work done. I finished my Atom Bot paper cut. I like how it looks, but I think I'm going to remake it with layers of colored paper, like a paper collage. I also got a spiffy wood burning tool, and practicing my Gallifreyan on some wood disks I'm going to turn into pendants for my friends. And I drew Applejack from My Little Ponies. I've been planning a costume for Midoricon. I am not a seamstress, and only have experience patching holes, but I might as well start somewhere. I'm making a Black Mage costume from Final Fantasy 14. Its the new version that is actually black rather than blue and yellow. You can see the reference image below. I decided to go with this costume because it looks shabby and intentionally imperfect. I raided the local Goodwill for clothes I could tear apart and refashion for this costume. I found some really interesting fabric textures, and it was really easy to find lots of black clothing. I have not figured out what I am going to do for the pants yet, but I did find a floor length plain black dress that I can turn into the coat. Yay! To go with my costume I've sculpted Gurdy the Moogle from FF12. All that is left is for me to make her teeny tiny clothes, add fur to her ears and paint her eyes. Then I'll be able to glue her ears and wings into place. The last thing I've worked on are some new minipets for Star Fall Hollow. I won't share them all with you. I want there to be some surprises, so here 1 of my favorites. It is really hard to resist the impulse to show them all off.
