Bronze chimkins! #KFP

This piece was very tricky to cast without defects I had to resort to a very ridiculous sprueing system lol #silver #jewelry

I have no idea how they ended up with that finish, but they look really cool! I just put them in vinegar a bunch of times because they keep getting dark when I try to clean them Sadly it won't last so I'm tumbling them anyway

I was trying to get a true followers count with a script to deduct the accounts I've blocked, but it seems the bsky API already returns only the real number... so why does the App not do this!?

in ~24 hours I'll be closing up my Etsy shop until late march. Last chance to order something! www.etsy.com/shop/KotakoS...

Being used to working only with silver I underestimated the hardness of the bronze filings I feel like I was snuggling with a hedgehog

Today I cast bronze for the first time It was mostly only failures, but I love the color!!! (They are still not properly cleaned) Will definitely do more things in this material

Your favorite artists are not your skill benchmark when you begin drawing. This leads to disappointment. They have years of practice. Your aim should be doing what you can to improve yesterday's art.

I'm too busy and can't seem to be able to finish doing anything!! 😵

I need to do some busywork (sanding resin prints) so might as well stream and maybe practice speaking English after a decade youtube.com/live/o0KA95x...

Too busy!!!! Too many things to do before March JP trip 🫨

Twitter has a "regurgitate this art with AI button". Maybe… maybe the remaining artists will come over now… fixupx.com/Cypress_empr...

PID tuning is hell 💀

There are few things I find as annoying of english speakers as when they say “masa harina” to refer to corn flour

The client asked for round ring with a triangle inside, but this looks much better. I hope they go with this one #Silver #Jewelry #Art

Read it slowly and understand it. 😳🥺 Repost 👇🏾 👇🏾

I completely forgot I left this video rendering last night #Jewelry #Silver #Art

Someone asked me for a ring with "an eye inside a triangle"... I liked how my eye turned out (alt version to showcase the eye better) I'll probably recycle the eye for something more interesting in the future #silver #jewelry #art

Matte finish on my tri-force ring #silver #jewelry #art

Go listen to Namie's cover of Mystic Light Quest!!! youtu.be/CbVeUWuv9rk?...

Another enamel test. I wanted to see how the transparency looked at different heights. And also how good it was at sticking to the spheres. I was much happier with this result! (plz ignore my ugly fingernails) #silver #jewelry #art

A few photos of the enamel tests from the microscope. In my opinion it looks better in here, and I think it is because of the scale In the renders it looked better because those are basically macro photos, and because the model is slightly different from reality and the enamel covers more area

Couldn't find a model that worked so I made one and I'm sharing it Eye washing cup - 3D model for 3D printing www.printables.com/model/118112...

Darkening the metal looked awful on the enamel tests, but looks pretty nice on the regular ring. I’m not keeping it polished tho. It’s going back to matte. It looks cool, but being a ring it will get damaged in a matter of days #silver #jewelry #art

Today I tried to buy an eye washing cup but couldn’t find one anywhere… wtf? Went to 3 drugstores and they didn’t even understand what I was asking them for They’re also way to expensive online, so I am 3D printing one instead

( ._. ) Sadly the experiment was a failure The grooves are too small and the enamel color too unpredictable (that black is actually red) The shapes get lost seeing them from a short distance and it just looks kinda weird I will try darkening the silver but I don’t have high hopes

Basically traps AI crawlers and sends them down an "infinite maze" of static files with no exit links, where they get stuck and thrash around for months. Once trapped, the crawlers can be fed gibberish data, aka Markov babble, which is designed to poison AI models arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...
