What a summer it’s been. As the pandemic continues, I find solace in my hobbies and being able to host people outside my house for ice cream socials. I tried a few different flavors this year, okay, I may have gotten carried away. Salted Caramel, Chocolate Buckeye, Thin Mint, Strawberry Rhubarb Sorbet, Black Raspberry Cobbler Frozen Yogurt, Balsamic Strawberry, Butter Pecan, and Lemon Sherbet. But as sweet and delicious as those flavors are, it was even sweeter offering a place where my friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers could mix and mingle and enjoy each other’s company. Whatever resources you have handy, use them to build fellowship and community, our world needs it.
Also this summer was accented by the sounds of sanding, sanding, and more sanding. I will have a whole video and step-by-step process of my Halloween costume progress coming in the next few weeks. Spoiler alert, I’m going as Daft Punk. It’s been a learning experience with 3D printing, gluing, Bondo, sanding, priming, sanding, painting, messing up, sanding, repriming, repainting. Patience, patience, patience. Honestly I could have probably made another set of Princess of Power armor in the time I’ve spent on this ha ha.
Never pass up the opportunity to get away from a screen and stretch your drawing muscles. Now, I couldn’t get completely away from a screen because I don’t have a printer at the moment, but it felt good to get my hands on some graphite. Check out the tutorial here! When was the last time you picked up a pencil to draw just for the heck of it?
