So one of the things I can do with out alot of pain (still get pain if I do it to long) is draw.
I had been watching a lot of videos lately on drawing, while taking a break from doing all the long and very tedious felting on my Falcor project.
It seemed like everyone was playing around with Posca paint markers, and shrink film. So I wanted to do the same. This is my first test batch of keychain/zipper pulls.
In the first image is the unbaked pieces, and a six inch ruler. The second image is of the baked pieces with the same ruler to show the shrinkage.


Out of them all I am loving how the Hyrule Shield turned out it has a bit of buckling to it but it came out just as I had thought it would.
Now that they had cooled off, I wanted to seal the painted face's with mod podge. That was a mistake.
I did not realize it right away as the mod podge I use is opaque while wet, but the black, and the yellow both reactivated when the MP went on smearing them both.
Its not as obvious on the shield but I did the Pikachu first and some of the yellow transferred over. Luckily non of the other colors on the shield seemed to bleed.
Deadpool is taking quite a while to dry, but it looks like he did bleed over a bit as well which is sad, I was pretty happy with him. The black was the only part that smeared all over.
Outside of that I am also baking a cake today -- its my Hubbys birthday!!
Its a low carb vanilla cake, they fell just a bit while cooling, but I am hoping they are tasty. I used a keto pancake mix (1cup) as a sub for sugar and 1/2 of the flour, coconut flour (1/4 cup), real butter (1/3 cup), 4 eggs, 1 vanila bean scrapings (as well as a few splashes on extract), 1 box sugar free vanilla pudding mix, and 5 splashes of milk (till the batter looked 'right').
I mixed all the wet +vanilla scrapings+pudding, then shifted in the dry and threw it into a 350F oven for 25 minutes, it two 6in round backing pans lined with parchment paper on the bottom, and sprayed with coconut oil on the sides.
I plan on icing the outside with a Cool Whip+SF Pudding mix, I plan on putting a layer of SF strawberry preserves between the layers.
