Someone put a parcel in the wasp nest post box so Royal Mail signalled its out-of-use status by stuffing a poly bag in the slot. People keep taking it out as it looks like vandalism, but Royal Mail keeps shoving it back in. The wasps are fine, they can get in and out 🐝

The cloth goblins are guarding the post box nearest me because there's a wasp nest inside and it's out of use (the post box not the wasp nest). Therefore, I'm posting orders on Tuesday and Friday mornings only, when I go to the local post depot with tracked stuff. Thank you for your patience 🫡

I painted one cloth goblin so far and it was such a breath of fresh air to paint just by virtue of being so different. Definitely want to paint more and get more from the range. Inspired by daffodil colours but as my boys so charmingly pointed out "looks more like a Minecraft watermelon". 😂

The cloth trows are now metal cloth trows! The master castings are looking looooovely so now it's on with prepping these for production moulding. But first I'm going to enjoy finally having these wee guys in the material they were always intended to be ✨

On a green gridded cutting board stand four metal castings of miniatures of cloth creatures called trows. Three are holding pointed sticks and their eyes are visible through a hood opening like a fully zipped up parka. Painted miniatures of cloth goblins, a cloth rogue and a beanbag magic cat look on. In the background there are rows of more cloth trow castings.

I've finally got the trow mould cooking and I didn't break any parts when laying out the mould! However, I did knock the box they were in and launched these tiny delicate prints all across the floor and even into the bin. But I did not break any 👍

I'll be putting 3 of each trow design into the master mould. I've prepared lots of extra prints so I can choose the nicest and because I'll no doubt break some when laying out the mould. Of all the reasons I quit hand sculpting minis, my clumsiness was the most annoying.
