Cute artisan keycaps for my keyboard to remember my deceased animal family members
A follow up to my previous post about artisan keycaps! I have been experimenting with artisan keycaps lately and it's been really fun. Artisan keycaps are that little bit of touch you can add to personalise your mechanical keyboard even more.
I've been using clay for them and have made a few. I originally wanted to make them as I thought it would be a nice way to remember animal family members/pets that are no longer with us. I did make a few of Studio Ghibli characters, such as Blue Totoro and Catbus.
Light brown bunny: Latte, our 8.5 year old mini lop rabbit.
Black and white bunny: Bunini, our bunny that we decided to euthanise because she had the horrible virus, Myxomatosis. A man-made pest killer (rabbits are pests in Australia) and the government in Australia does not allow the vaccine. January 2015 - February 2022.
Blue Totoro: From Hayao Miyazakiβs, βMy Neighbour Totoroβ. I really like Blue Totoro and would like to make Totoro in the future.
Catbus: Also from Hayao Miyazakiβs, βMy Neighbour Totoroβ. I am a big fan of Catbus! Sadly, I forgot to add in the little pink mice, I will next time.
If you are wondering what type of keyboard and additions I have used in the photographs, here are the details:
Bear65 White by JackyLab, Cat PBT by cannonkeys, Durock v2 stabilisers screw-in and Gateron Raccoon linear switches.
BEar65 Purple by JackyLab, ePBT Hangul keycaps, Durock v2 stabilisers screw-in and Hippokeys unicorn linear switches.
