Fairy Doors. I made a reel on IG because only three people liked my last photo posts.

Why is Teenage the most important part of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I can certainly think of more important adjectives to put at the forefront.

I really wonder what the Roman Dodecahedron of today is.

Good morning students, staff, and Alum. Just a normal Wednesday today. Waffle bar at breakfast, cold cut sandwiches for lunch, and a toxic mist dissolving our pant legs and shoes.

My Iron Acetate seems to have oxidized to the point of being useless. Luckily its easy to make. youtu.be/6aAwEqscYyU

Made new styles of fairy door. One where the door looks to be opened inward and two mini doors.

This piece of walnut was shorter that what I typically make wands from but I knew it had great grain.

Spent last night and today making more Fairy doors. Sculpted, baked, and painted. Thinking about selling them along side my wands at my next comic con.

Certainly been a roller coaster lately… its rainy and cool here today so relax with a cup of Chai and watch some YouTube. Making a Black Cherry Spellcaster youtu.be/RyzrsC9iF7g

Can i please stop having dreams where i have to go work my old job from 20 years ago... that'd be nice.

A video in which i take a lovely piece of spalted birch and turn it into a very nice wand.... youtu.be/ydC8dq1_t98

I just finished the second book in the Red Rising series and wish I could start the next right away.

Went from Pecan to Pear… they are very different woods.

With what a odd week it's been I completely forgot to finish editing this video until i woke up this morning... here's my Thursday video. youtu.be/caPRP2HSDd4

Here’s a photo of my cats for no reason.

My “I’ve Had Kenough” shirt from @500opentabs.bsky.social came in the mail today so I had to try it on right away.. it fit over my TMBG shirt for this picture.

It’s that time again. Here’s my Tuesday video, Making a Sycamore Spellcaster youtu.be/ditKj0ipj0M

Pecan… with a twist.

Hallmark was filming at my day job today so when I left the ground floor was full of film crew and decorated Christmas trees.

The dialogue around the new Lego Death Star is so weird, like if you think it cost too much no one is making you buy it. You know how much stuff I don’t own because it cost too much.

It really feels like fall here in KC today, but the forecast is calling for a return to 90 degree weather next week. Here's Kentucky Coffee Tree. youtu.be/5FR53kekq5I

The spalting on this Paper Bark Birch is so lovely.

Here's to a great September everyone. youtu.be/Tj4BGEHpb6E

I trimmed my beard short and when my kid saw me they had to do a double take. They commented that I look younger. My wife (who I’d been sitting next to for 30 mins) turned to me astonished I’d trimmed my beard.

Threadless is having a sale and you can get my t-shirts for $12.50 gipsonwands.threadless.com/designs/frie...

I explained Carrot salad to my kid and they looked affronted.

It started out as a Joke Logo but then i really started liking it. Still think my 2016 is the best version.

ok... i kinda liked the cracker barrel like logo. Made some changes, took away the ugly barrel shape. gipsonwands.threadless.com/designs/frie...

How is it the end of August... youtu.be/pjQARhOm_-Y

As always i'm late to the game...

We live in a time where you can’t just google “latest mass shooting” and get the result about the one nearest you.

Milling up some Olive Ash and i ended up with some pieces that were slimmer than my standard wand blank. The wood was to lovely to toss so I'll just make some skinny wands. youtu.be/SV21INfa1Os

Had some fun playing around with the form on this Potionmaster. What do you think of the bubbling cauldron as a pommel?

My kid came home from school saying their English teacher was teaching with AI. Feels real double standardy.

IDK, the graphic is a little big. What do you all think? gipsonwands.threadless.com/designs/vulc...

It was supposed to be the first week of school for my kid but staff noticed the smell of natural gas in the parking lot. Out of an abundance of caution went remote... admin bought in a company to track down the leak. They think it's an old natural gas well. The phrase exploratory excavation was said

Waking up early to get the kid to school means I can upload my latest video before I go to the day job. Making a Black Walnut Dark Sorcerer youtu.be/lTzvEobG2gM

Downloading my reels from instagram and sharing them here seems like the best plan. Here’s the wand I shared today made from a thinner Olive Ash blank than my standard wand.

It’s time for a Tuesday video. Making an Olive Ash Modern Mage youtu.be/FIDzvO8Dkv8

Man I love this Black Walnut.

I don’t use a pattern when I make a wand so even the wands that are the same style are unique. Here are Potionmaster wands from the past few months.

Well, I’m not far from 40 and I also support this terminology.

I assume that this is braille which… honestly a good idea.

I have six audio books on hold in Libby and half of them are telling me 9 weeks... so there's like a 90% chance i'll get them all at once.

Where did the summer go? It's the middle of August already and my kid starts school next week. Here's today's wand youtu.be/TAK7TdlFOow

One video, two wands. I usually call wands that sit next to each other in the wood Sister wands, these came from a single long wand blank they aren't Twins per say.... youtu.be/4hix4aOgBRU

First wand from the weekend, pear.

Mowed the lawn, made lunch, made two wands, and now its nearly time to make dinner…

Bought a csa box of peaches (so many peaches) thinking of creative ways to use them I cut two up, put them in a mason jar, covered them in Chai concentrate and let them set overnight… tried it this morning mixed 1:1 with apple juice and guys, it’s delicious.
