Hey guys. Think imma take a week long insta break. Hopefully it won't hit my follower count too hard. I wanna see how productive and or relaxed I can be without worrying about having something to post. I want to offload small stuff I worry about since I have bigger things to focus on. If I get some shots etc I'll share em all when I get back. Follow my blog too for updates.
Yesterday's progress. Final coat. The paint is super metallic, if you even touch when dry it looks different. We'll see how that is to photograph lol. And yeah I'm painting close because the fabric absorbs all the paint. Now to make some clay dogs.
