Added 2023-02-23 15:17:54 +0000 UTChi everyone, I hope you're all doing ok!
sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you- i've been a bit hyperfocussed on my ghost project (as im sure those of you who follow me on tumblr know lol) π₯²
i'll share those lil updates today, as well as the photos i took while in bath last week (as promised) π
this is where we're at with the ghosts- eight lil companions to carry. some are based on prompts from tumblr, some i made for myself and then shared (like the birthday one), but i'm really excited about how they're coming along π₯Ί the design shown is the one i adapted for printing. i kept the shape of the original index cards and added some extra lil flourishes, as well as numbers and their official title 'gloomies.' they'll be printed without a background colour on the same cream, recycled paper that i used for my halloween project, so they should have a really lovely texture when they're finished, just like the index cards!
today i've been trying to work out the math of it all, but it feels a bit like i put my brain in a blender π i've been looking at envelopes and stickers, drawing all the measurements out so i can 'see' it all properly side by side. i think i've worked it out, but wherever there's numbers involved im always second-guessing thanks to dyscalculia and aphantasia lol.
i have some test prints of the cards arriving tomorrow, so hopefully i'll be able to show you if they turned out okay π
from bath:
there should also be some film photos in the next couple of days, but as always, i'm not sure how many will actually have come out well ποΈβοΈ hopefully we'll get a couple of good ones.
i think that's all for today, pls wish me luck with all this math π₯²
take care and speak soon, friends x

Looks good seeing them side-by-side, like a set. And, great to see photos from your trip to Bath. Who knew Frankensteinβs figurine would make such a good muse, lol. The cameo in the video and in the photos are really fun π

The other illustration you shared when you showed the basic form and explained the general idea, made me think of you holding one like a teddy bear by the hand, and made me think of how cool it would be to have one to hug.
