OK, a tad melodramatic yes. I haven't been on stage in a very long time. Please, bear with me.... So I've been finding that sometimes it's easier to get things done in the short time-to-myself evenings if I line up my tasks to be somewhat similar to what I'm doing at work. We've been counting,sorting and cleaning and organizing t...

I've been trying (when not exhausted) to work on some smaller items. Namely some masters for resin and plaster casting. Here are two you might recognize from Making Minis from pen parts. This first one will be cast with a larger 'base' so when flipped over will be a china-like platter. This master is actually plaster with a finis...
