Popping the eyeball stacks into the kiln for an extra-long fuse cycle to melt all 4 layers together. Just a few finishing touches next week and they’re finished! And a little stashbuster mosaic for good measure too. Mustn’t let all those pretty shards go to waste.

Can finally post this embroidery! Thank you to @/meatballworld for being such a wonderful muse!
god there’s nothing like Halloween season to make me feel excited about writing more horror
HALLOWEEN PARTY DAY HAS ARRIVED which, because I am old and introverted, means staying home to do nothing but eat pasta and play video games until it’s time to get all dolled up for the night out
A rather gorgeous Frank Frazetta concept sketch/painting for the 1979 Battlestar Galactica two-parter “War Of The Gods” in which the evil Count Iblis reveals himself.
