Tried out making forged carbon fiber parts. It’s tricky, but satisfying.

I’ve started a new hobby of carving 印章 (yìnzhāng or seals or so-called “chops”). They’re those red things that you see on Chinese calligraphy and paintings. I got a beginner’s set of tools and practice stones on Sunday, and found time today to make my first attempt.

Which I naturally botched.

But it’s easy to undo your mistakes with a very coarse grit grinding pad followed by a fine grit sandpaper, so I’m all set up to try again possibly tomorrow. I expect to have my first chop that’s not a complete embarrassment ready to photograph by the end of the weekend.

Started a new drawing!

It’s going to be a picture of the adult form of my angel OC, Goodie! I drew this one months ago

The rough concept sketch of his adult form! The absolute state of my sketches… 😂

Started doing a bit of recreational videogame development.

I’m going to take up smoking today! Does that count? Maybe drinking. Or both.
SIGH

I really need to start knitting again.
