azninsectSo my YouTube recommended suggested the Riverdale summary from #DB2022
Yes I'm watching it.

THE CRAFTALONG, SHE IS DONE.
I thought I gave myself a generous time allocation for this project, but underestimating it and Life™ getting in the way made my estimates... pretty irrelevant.
But it's done, and I love it, and I hope whoever gets it loves it too.
I have some process photos and many final photos; I may post more as Desert Bus approaches. There's one easter egg that's for the recipient alone, though.

At the last minute, I realised I forgot two captions for my #craftalong and had to set up my calligraphy station again. What this means for you, chat, is that I get to send @Graham_LRR this toot.

And the last bit of calligraphy I had to do for #craftalong: captions. 350 words or so. It was a lot. \@_@
A few rejects in there, plus the front matter I've previously shown in the background.

Finishing up the front matter of my #craftalong. Last part done: the dedication.
Requiescat in pace, karfsma778. We were never friends despite our common online spaces, but you've touched so many of those we both knew.

The final new piece for #craftalong.
Dawn Guard honour @wiggins's great sacrifice. Taken from us by ten thousand squats and his own hubris, he is survived by his partner, @meg; his doghter, Maple; his ever critical Chatthew; and his (not) cult.
I think I hate Matt Wiggins's name and the letters M and W now.

Last night I put the finishing touches on the last two new pieces for #craftalong. Second-to-last piece: @JacobBurgess moonlights as a garbage person. What? Oh. Yes, I meant garbage collector.

[Rerun: 19 November 2022] One more post-scriptum before I clean up: here's my set up after the run. Surprisingly clean. #desertbus #db2022
(And that ends the reruns, a.k.a. me mirroring some of the work I'm proud of from the former-birdsite to Mastodon! Look forward to more craftalong previews as we approach the run.)
I was taking notes throughout the #desertbus #db2022 run and highlighting quotes and moments that would make good pieces.
Out of 71, I managed 21 calligraphy pieces (in grey; not used in yellow). That's a decent 30%! Since the run, I've done 4 more pieces for my #CraftAlong, too!
Not pictured, big quote compilations.
A shout out to everyone on the
Ysbryd Games and @LoadingReadyRun Discord communities! Thanks for the feedback, help finding quotes and clips, and just generally being awesome.
