My Expo Week: About Fucking Time!

2

I meant to do this post earlier, and about now I should be making cards for the latest hare-brained idea I’ve had (it involves Etsy). Anyway, it’s here. If you got my Facebook (and if you’re reading this within the first ten minutes of this going up then you totally do) then you’ll have already seen the bits that you’re interested in.

Day One

Travelled down to London, met a trio of Cosplayers and we hung out on the DLR until we needed to separate.

I haven’t been updating this week as often as I’d like to, and I had been hoping to actually put the pictures up when the items were fully made. This is not the case here as I actually have to wait a few days before I can do anything with this one. Also I have some pictures on my camera I can’t upload as my laptop is bitchy about card readers.

Back on topic, I spent the best part of nine days working on this thing and I haven’t got as far as I wanted to as it got complicated rather quickly. I get the feeling I won’t be the most accurate Spades Slick, but that could be because I’m a chubby lass and not a skinny fella.

Let’s start with these blocks of wood. After all, this is where I started.
