Working on a little crow with a blade for us to carry around in these trying times.

(I will add that unless you love talking in the phone so much you want to have to do it twice, be sure to ask them to remove BOTH the duplicate room AND the duplicate parking garage fees.)

Heard some MFF folks had errors in their hotel bills & can confirm if you stayed at Embassy Suites & asked to see the bill b4 midnight the last night there, your bill might have said last night & parking charges in it twice.

Call the # on the receipt to get a human that will fix it right away.

This guy is going on a solo adventure to the kiln today, while I work on something bigger 😅
#ceramics

Update: Safely home, car unloaded, time for food & rest bc it’s back to the office tomorrow to see what fresh horrors the users have wrought upon the database in my absence.

Anyway my beverage was delicious & we survived the trip back to MD. I’ll finish the drive tomorrow after a good night’s sleep.

Also the lady behind me tried to order an iced latte & it turns out their ice machine was ALSO broken bc they ran across the concourse & filled a bucket w/ice from the pizza place’s soda machine.

I can only assume the MFF exodus preceded me on the turnpike & exhausted supplies.

Me: oh, sorry, I’m tired & not very observant. Do you have an espresso machine?
B: ~looks at me like I am a strange and unwelcome bug~
Me, despairingly: C-could I maybe get a regular hot coffee w/caramel syrup & enough creamer to count as a latte?
B: ~takes pity on me & grants my ludicrous request~

Me at oh-dark-thirty at a turnpike Dunkin bc my hotel neighbors were partying until 0200 & I’ve been driving since 0400: One Caramel Latte pls

Barista: We’re out of that.
Me: ok a peppermint mocha then?
B: nope
Me: what about-
B: Iced only
Me: ~finally notices the “no lattes, steamer broken” sign

The 😨HORRORS😨 Persist... but so do the little ✨TREATS✨

I too also saw the lovely dog poo shaming drawings people made for the poop left in the den. I throw my own addition to the meme pile! Buy them at M14 limited supplies for at con.

Did you know I can embellish the clothes you buy at con?! A lovely snow leopard rosette addition for Zigs’s hoodie! Come to M14 to see all the lovelies and what I can make for you!

Coloring page of “Draw the so. Your father hoped you’d be!” where the son is Scrooge McDuck, Only Taller.

Commissioned coloring page.

(Be like Scrooge McDuck, only taller)

(I am kidding, except probably the taller part, I’m the shortest member of my family haha)

A cockatiel-faced phoenix takes flight in this watercolor doodle.

Finished up a quick watercolor doodle. (Now if I could just find room for it on the table.)

A half-table convention setup featuring buttons, prints, & polymer figurines.

Detail photo of a shelving unit literally overflowing with my wee polymer and resin sculpts.

Finished my wee table setup!
(It’s a little crowded but hopefully that’s a temporary problem as sculpts sell.)

Come to see us at Table G46 in the Artist Marketplace (Hall B) at MFF! I’m near the end of the far wall.

Forgot to post The Tiniest Duckie, a wee little polymer clay & resin charm for one of @eiudragon.bsky.social ‘s limited stuffies at MFF.

(I cannot say any more but you guys can check them out at table M14 in the Dealers Den this weekend!)

Relatable Corvid

Ah, excellent, best of luck to you as well! The big cons tend to be a bit of organized chaos but the staff know their stuff & tend to make sure it all makes sense on the ground/in person.

Odds are it will have a big sign, since we’re sharing the Hall with Artist Alley, but in theory we’re right next to the Dealers Den this year & both will be easy to find!

All these & more can be found at my Artist Marketplace table (JenKiwi, G47) in Hall B at MFF this weekend!

Drop by to chat, see them in person, & perhaps take a few home with you!

A pair of miniature polymer clay sculpts featuring kiwi birds atop boxes of Nerds candy. The boxes are open, spilling out grape (left) and strawberry (right) candies, that are both shaped like Nerds & like tiny colorful kiwi birds. The candy boxes have been painted to say “Berds”. US Quarter coin included for size reference

A kiwi bird sits atop a box of grape-flavored Berds candy, clutching a small purple kiwi Berd as a cluster of them spill out of the open candy box. No, I am not sane. But we have fun here.

A kiwi bird sprawls atop a box of strawberry-flavored Berds candy, a pink kiwi-shaped Berd atop their head as more Berds spill out of the open box.

The same piece, shown from behind to better show how the kiwi bird is sprawled, and also to show that the box has been painted on all sides to show “Berds”

And finally, two boxes of delicious Berds candy!

Because Nerds look like tiny kiwi birds to me, autocorrect had an interesting flub during a casual birb/borb/etc chat, & I had an abundance of sanity points to spend around Halloween.

A polymer and resin miniature sculpt of a green cat with flexible plastic/line bristles. The cat resembles a cactus with a pink cactus flower atop their head, and is perched inside an aqua planter. US Quarter coin shown for size reference

The catctus, shown from the left to show off their bristles

A cat-ctus!

Their bristles are flexible without being stabby, so one can pet the kitty without risking harm.

Polymer clay miniature sculpt of a ghostly fox spirit in a jack-o-lantern.

Ghostly fox, demonstrating just how brightly they glow in the dark!

(Because I showed it in the group shot & don’t want to make you dig through my posts to find the Halloween pictures, here’s details of the glow-in-the-dark ghostly fox in a jack-o-lantern.)

A polymer clay miniature sculpt of a white arctic fox seated on a sled/toboggan, gripping the steering rope in their forepaws as they go sledding! US Quarter coin shown for size reference

The white fox seen from the back

A trio of tiny tictac men enthusiasts - a minty Arctic fox, a wintermint silver fox, and an orange-enjoying red foxes, chilling out in tiny tictac containers. (There are sculpted tictacs inside the containers for that satisfying rattle!) Coin shown for size reference

The tictac trio seen from the side

An arctic fox going sledding, and a Tic-Tac Trio!

A polymer clay miniature sculpt of a somewhat startled red fox standing on their hind legs while gently carrying a yellow chick in their forepaws. A U.S. Quarter coin is beside them for size reference.

This wee red fox is preparing a pot of tasty spaghetti-O’s!

More adorable red foxes.

(Don’t worry about the wee chickie, I have been assured their big bro is taking very gentle care of them as they walk them back to their coop.)

A slightly out of focus snapshot of a polymer miniature sculpt of a trio of foxes - red, silver, and crossfox color morphs - curled up inside a Snack Pack pudding cup box. A U.S. Quarter coin is next to them for size reference

Hungry? These foxes have some tasty snacks to share!

Seventeen or so miniature polymer sculpts of foxes. Most are red foxes, but there are some arctic, silver, and cross-fox color morphs in this crew, alongside a ghostly spirit fox from Halloween!

Pause here w/a white rat for a moment to contemplate those Cheez-its.

A miniature polymer clay sculpt of a teal Sergal seated atop an open box of Cheez-it crackers, a cheese-wedge-shaped cracker clutched in their hand as they nibble away at their snack. A U.S. Quarter coin con be seen in the foreground for size reference. I’m serious take a moment to appreciate those hand-sculpted Cheez-its.

A Sergal sits atop an open box of Cheez-its.

(I hand-sculpted every single one of those Cheez-its, having apparently accumulated too many sanity points for my own good.)
