One of K’s students who digs my work asked her if I would make him a seal so - after way too much figuring out and overthinking - I chopped up some old scissors and made this washer-balancing little guy.

First warm weather of the year, first big(ger) piece of the year. FANTASIA's one of my favorites, and "Night on Bald Mountain" is, as The Beatles once said, "the toppermost of the poppermost."
And here’s a fantastic shot of Bela Lugosi providing Chernabog reference for Disney animators:
And, Chernabog in his new forever home, Painted Ivy Tattoo.

Finished this project a few weeks ago, but with these Christmas spiders now in familial hands, I can share. Crafted them from a rust-eaten carriage wheel that spent most of its life leaning against the woodshed at my grandparents’ place as a memento of ye olde homestead; the eyes are from hex nuts found in their basement. My grandfather was a biology professor and spider expert/otaku, hence the arachnid final form. Wanted to add turquoise, as my grandmother was an insanely brilliant silversmith, but I, alas, am not.
