here’s another mug that @bugmemory.bsky.social also made with our characters Stefan and Bisbee

NYOMP bowl wip #ceramics

Thank you for the slight loving on this bowl. Bowls are really hard to photograph but I will make an effort to share it once it is fired 💛 I hope it (and my other pieces) survive the kiln! I'm using a new clay and different temperature than I used to, so I'm not sure what to expect.

There are at least four visible sets of tids on this round of pottery I made and I hope the person who is firing them for me isn't like, upset about it for some reason? In my tid era

I just wanna say that being nice to strangers is so important because, I have been that stranger recently, having a really bad day, and random people being nice to me has genuinely helped

A small sphinx plate I carved today #ceramics

I'm trimming pots today baybee I have many to decorate, and will be my last little ceramic batch for the year. I want to try to at least somewhat solidify my learning curve, so will probably do some more next month. Ceramics photograph so badly so I haven't shared them here yet. Curved surfaces 🥲

Artists stop saying "quick doodle" for any drawing that took you more than 5 minutes challenge: impossible

I am working on another lenticular drawing 💛

Hey all, lil sphinx bjd update. Most joints are in place. Wings and tail still need to be sculpted, but overall I'm happy with how it's progressing. She will be 1/3 scale. Planning to do a 10.5 neck (for the official head) but offer a 9cm neck option (neck can be swapped out). #bjd

Been a while since I have drawn my spider child

On a related note, I got a creepy "age verification" email from bsky because I had flagged a doll pic as mature on here. Never did the verification, not sure what will come of that because it was like a month ago. But fuck that. Not giving my personal info. They're acting like it's secure n shit

How many of you artists have had your shit censored on Tumblr or here, when it actually has NO bits and is not suggestive in any way? It has happened to me twice (once here, once there). I think I'm being targeted for having a more realistic style and it activates the AI garbage bot

Update: two of them are going to be little planters, as I think they're a little too squat to be mugs. But I was able to use them! Just gonna wait a few days to make more items as wheel throwing hurts

I ordered a lil vintage octopus wall light on eBay, which arrived today, but I opened up the package to a 1000-piece Simpsons mosaic puzzle. Wtf. This has never happened to me before lmao I hope they just sent me the wrong thing rather than sent my octo to someone else as well. waaa

I wedged 8 pieces of clay yesterday and got 4 mugs out of it, two of which seem okay (still gonna see if the others end up okay though once I trim and do handles) You need a LOT of practice to be good at pottery, and I can't commit the time in this phase of my life, but I still like making pottery

A few sphinx progress pics from today. Haven't posted them here in a bit #bjd

I got a test print of a spooky lenticular Harold today! I converted the video to a massive gif, so I hope yall can see it.

I've had four people fill out the form; I will try to close it after five entries to give people a chance to pay their invoices (which I haven't sent yet). If there's any issues with that, I will re-open the form in a few days, but otherwise, this might be finished soon if all goes well.

Also, because it's Halloween and I was just reminded of this, do you want to color some vintage spooky Harold and Muriel art? I have a set of line art on my kofi and it's free! I just want to see people color some lmao ko-fi.com/s/e9b0cdbe9d

Happy Halloween yall! I'm very excited to announce that my (very small) Werewolf Violet preorder is open! I have worked over a year on engineering this project and bringing her to life. I have links below. Please spread the word if you can 🧡

Another Halloween piece I did last year, based on a vintage postcard 🧡 #furryart

Starting on Halloween! I will be doing my small run of werewolf Violet dolls. This will be the only opportunity to get one, as they are big and annoying to print. Stay tuned! #bjd

POTION SELLER Drawn last year 🧡 #furryart

More photos, now with blurred BITS because I forgot I still post on Tumblr haaa I think I'm gonna open the preorder on Halloween! That will give me time to set everything up, budgette, take more photos, and hopefully do a full paint of her. #bjd

Just as an FYI, I don't think I'll be doing any more Halloween icons this month; the three I did are the only ones I did this year lmao I'm going to be focusing on were-Violet preorder! She will have very limited spots (five for now) to save my sanity in case sandblasting isn't viable ^^

I took many photos of werewolf Violet this morning and here are two of them. She's super stable and I'm really happy with her! I'll have preorder news soon but still have to calculate everything. (marked as adult because I'm tired of blurring out my doll bits in photos ^^) #bjd

I took a few doll photos today for the first time since moving into our new place Maple is a good girl to sit still for me #bjd

Beautiful horse, beautiful scenery! Sahara in an autumn landscape by @bugmemory.bsky.social 🍁

I have one spot left! 🧡

I have opened the first batch of 3 monochromatic vintage-style Halloween icons! You can request a specific (EXISTING please lmao) background theme; I have done quite a variety so please take a look. You can request direction facing or a vibe but please nothing extensive, thanks. Link below!

Vintage Halloween icon post should be on Friday, 10/3! I'm busy today and tomorrow, but should have time to start on them Friday. I will limit to three slots at first and work on those over the weekend. I think last year I did pwyw starting at 35, so these will be similar. #furryart

Got them all set up again after our move 🧡 #bjd

If you bought the little cyan Muriel prototype from me at Resin Rose... let me know! I didn't think I had these parts but turns out I do, because I just found them, lol. #bjd

Just a heads up that I'm planning to do my vintage-style Halloween icons again this year! I will be doing fewer of them than previous years, as I have the were-Violet bjd preorder to do in October too. So, if you want one, it'll be earlier in the month and a bit more limited! Stay tuned 🧡 #furryart

Today I learned that installing my kiln would be really expensive with multiple service people involved to get it working in our place (which we are renting; even though they were okay with it at first, these modifications would be pretty significant and no longer okay) I'm tying more hold on (1/?)

Hey, as a heads up, I have added my cast Violet heads to my ko-fi shoppe! You can just like, buy a doll head from me, wowee I plan to add my bust stands as well once I have photos of them. ko-fi.com/bugmemory/shop #bjd #bjdsales

Moving is hard Our new place is really quiet though and it would be cool if I could sleep without earplugs for the first time in like. Over a decade. Please. What gods do I need to make offerings to in order for this to happen

Happy eclipse day to those who celebrate

Part two of Harold‘s first day out! #BJD #BugMemoryHarold #Doll

It’s getting into spooky season and you know what that means! Harold’s very first photoshoot! (It’s incredibly difficult to not get the gravestones in graveyard photography ^^;) #BJD #BugMemoryHarold #doll

Here are some progress sketches of this! I did a time lapse as well but not sure if I can get it to export. It'll be on my ko-fi if I can get it to go

Sphinx sculpting update if u even care #bjd
