A Good Day

kiyakotariIt was a good birthday. I basically slept all day, which is always nice. However, in the morning hours before sleeping, I finished making the multi-eye master mold for my 10mm eyes, so now I can cast more than one eye at a time. Of course, it's just the first step in the long eye process, but it makes that step a lot faster when it's producing six eyes (or more, if I use multiple molds) per pour instead of one. And I've spent the evening casting 10mm eyes. I'm almost out of white resin, though. It looks like I'll have to order more before the convention, if I want to have the 100 pairs I was hoping to offer.
I spent yesterday evening making velvet bloomers for Tsura. I still need to finish putting the trim on them - ran out, had to order more - but they look good, even so. Between that and all the eye stuff, I feel productive.
I am currently eating Taco Bell. This is also rewarding.

I am excited for eyes. ^_^ I have a certain someone that I'll bring who will be fun to fit.

Oooh, whoooo? If they have particularly big eyewells, I'm not equipped for it yet, sadly. I'm only set up for 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, and 16mm at this point. I hope to possibly have 18mm ready for the convention, but might not be able to have any done in time. And I definitely won't have anything larger than that. I'm also not likely to have 8mm done. They're so tiny, they're giving me a hard time.

Happy (belated) Birthday, K!
