The mario one is awesome, how long did it take?

Beautiful set up you have there, Trooper, and I’m looking forwards to your progress shots. I’m starting a coat, too, but a trench coat, for a two year old. I’m not sure if making things in miniature makes it easier or harder, due to being more fiddly.

You can get away with stuff being a little bit out on bigger things, too.

In fairness, my experience with this is from traction engines, but I imagine it's the same.

That is adorable! I'm not surprised it got the retweets, as it hits the eclectic, crafty, well made, but slightly nerdy demographic of your internet craft folk, I expect

Great crafting everybody!

I knew there was a flaw in that argument.

It’d make Myp an art form if true.

Well, that's what I was implying when I said it to Mali.

Mate, if you have to explain them, they probably aren't funny.

Is this a commission, or just for funsies?

Bronze sounds like a nice choice.

How was your Campbell’s print made?

Do you find cutting the curves easier with your rotary cutter? I love mine for multi-layer straight pieces but haven’t trusted myself with it for cutting curves
