I'm also shipping out orders from the previous All Rau wave this week, as well as some previous backlogged orders.

Production Update! Black & Red II and some backlog orders will be shipping out very soon! I'm ramping up production on the purples and will be filling even more of those past orders as this month progresses. Pictured: raw unprocessed casts
Sorry for the LESS than 24 hours notice this time, but it's time for the next batch, this time full-size. If you miss out, don't worry! Next wave is a rerun.
Limit of two masks per color per person. 12$ each.
I was going to switch the colors up for January's second wave, but I changed my mind and decided to stick with these, since there's a lot of demand for them.
Next wave is available Sunday, Jan 21st @ 4PM EST. Masks are $12 each, limit 2 per type per person. Store link here.
I've been trying to figure out how to word some reflections on the last year, and how things are going. I guess I'll start with talk about production:
I don't like how I've been handling orders until now. Taking orders on a preorder basis and putting them into a backlog works, but I wasn't executing that idea that well. I had set up some calculations based on numbers that turned out to be wrong, and had other unexpected setbacks that have dragged things out a couple months longer than they should have been. I ended up spraining my ankle pretty badly near the end of the year, which put me out of all work for roughly six weeks, and then right as I got out of that, I caught covid (at a grocery store of all places), which put me out for another week. Then, I had to put much of my resin workstation toward producing christmas gifts for family, which took another week out. That could have been avoided, perhaps… but I did want to give my folks something handmade this year.
I have been rethinking my methods – to focus primarily on production so that I can deliver orders more faster and more frequently. New calculations of work time based on more accurate numbers look promising, and I am starting to put them into practice. The focus will be to have items ready before or close to their sale dates, so that all of the different factors that longer time periods introduce can be avoided.
For those of you with backlogged orders, I will be delivering them all within the first three to four months of this year. I’m not going to release another “shipping schedule” chart because I don’t want to find myself breezing past deadlines again, and possibly disappointing people that way. I’m very grateful that you all have been so patient with me. I’m closing in on being able to ship out the first of the five backlogged order batches, and anticipate fully achieving that by the end of this month. Because several customers have orders in multiple batches, and I am doing my best to combine them all, there’s a bit of a cumulative effect. Things are slower at first, as I’m not only handling the first batch, but also certain people’s orders across other batches. This picks away at the further batches that need to ship, so things may get faster as I approach the final backlogged batch. Now that I’m able-bodied and no longer sick with corona, there shouldn’t be any crazy setbacks to the backlog fulfillment process.
I don’t have much else to say here, so thank you for taking a moment of your time to read my thoughts this year. Best wishes to you and yours,
In the scramble to get gifts for christmas last year, I decided to make them myself, from scratch - The result of a weeklong rush was The Magical Snow-Man'gnet!
I didn't intend to release these for sale, so I didn't take proper display photos. Here's the original sculpt next to a white resin copy. The "hard" areas are pink wax!
Happy New Year! It's time for the newest mask drop - sorry for such short notice! Black Mahiki and Red Rau Resin Replicas (say that five times fast) are going up on the store TOMORROW at 4PM EST.
You can visit the store here.
I can't believe I've been putting this off for almost a month now, but I guess perfection is hard to recreate. You can also access this on my Pixiv.
Also they never did explain anything about the symbol, I think.
Update - checked myself again this morning, and I've tested negative for covid. Resuming order packing soon.
Much thanks for your support!
I guess I have covid now! god. Still working on orders, but this is going to delay the rollout of the first wave that needs to go out. I was making good progress, too... Orders that were shipped last week are fine, they went out before I acquired this stupid disease.
