Sometimes makes puppets and knits things. Learner Blenderer. She/her.

A monitor screen showing a screenshot of my No Man's Sky character and his little jetpack. My hand is in the foreground, holding up a 3d printed replica of the jetpack for comparison. Let's ignore the fact that I accidentally flipped it before printing so it's the wrong way round.
The sign of the Hot Doughnut bakery in Partick, complete with terrifying CGI doughnut mascot.
A white-and-grey whippet excitedly licking the lid of a yogurt pot and doing his biggest, best mlems in the process.
Jake the whippet, standing in front of a Polling Place sign and looking dejectedly off to the side.
A crow standing on a metal bench, staring expectantly at a small tub of dates and pecans in the foreground.
A simple Blender animation of the Integrity spacecraft flying around the moon, and then speeding off back to Earth. The moon has a smiley face that watches the craft go by, then our orbit reveals that it has a wee cratery bum.
Jake the whippet with his head on my lap, gazing up longingly at my plate of toast. He may look hungry, but don't believe his lies.
A simple Blender animation of a dipper bird, standing on a stone in a river. It bobs up and down a bit, looks around, then dives into the water with a plop.
A manky plastic Santa doll, floating in a murky canal. His arms are stretched out in front of him as if he's trying to swim.
A render of my gormless cartoon head with the top removed so you can literally see what's on my mind. My dog Jake (a grey and white whippet) is curled up in my skull cavity, dreaming about cheese, which you can see in a thought bubble above us. Now that I have to describe this image, I realise how weird it probably is. Ach well...
King Kiwi, sitting on his throne in all his fuzzy, low-poly glory. His palace is decked out with glowing braziers and green kiwi fruit banners.
A low-poly rat in Blender. He's grey and white with little pink feets.
My view of the kitchen table as I eat my lunch. On the table is a partly-eaten tuna sandwich. Underneath is a whippet who very much wants said sandwich and is looking at me imploringly.
A lemon pig holding a shiny copper penny in his mouth, with a Christmas tree and a glass of beer in the background.
The Goblin Knight's box and matching pin badge, displayed in a Christmas tree.
My replica Kermit puppet sitting on the edge of a shelf. His head's sagging and flopped to one side, giving him a look of hopeless resignation.
A Blender screenshot, where I've made a simple face in my own likeness. She's smiling vacantly, nary a thought behind her beady little eyes.
A model of Holoptychius at Kelvingrove museum, next to the fossil on which he's based. He's a brown, trout-sized fish with a wide, grinning mouth and vacant little yellow eyes.
An Instagram advert for an exercise programme that promises to "Release your nervous system and get rid of stubborn tightness - in just 15 minutes".
ASIWYFA on stage at the Hug & Pint.
A small cardboard tub piled high with ice cream, sitting on a picnic table next to a beach. There's a few ships anchored in the bay in the distance, including the ferry that should have been halfway to Troon with us on it at the time.
A very wet and disgruntled whippet, standing on a beach and glowering up at the camera. He's wearing a soggy orange raincoat.
Some electronics (a small battery, control board, and some LEDs) lying on a green cutting mat next to a little 3D printed jetpack - as yet grey and unpainted.
Two magpies on a wooden bench. One stands on the arm, reaching to pinch a blueberry off a bush. The other stands by, presumably keeping lookout, and eager to learn the art of avian crime.
Medibot from Look Around You
Jake (a white whippet) in his bed. Only his eyes and snoot are visible, peeking out from under a thick, brown furry blanket. He has achieved maximum cosiness, which would be fine if we weren't in the middle of a heatwave.
A round, crusty loaf of bread cooling on a wire rack. The crust is split in a cross shape across the top, and the sticky-up corners look like cat ears. I've drawn a crude cat face onto the photo.
A whippet with a grey blanket draped across his back. He's standing next to a man sat at a table, and gazing hopefully at his lunch.
It's replica Kermit the Frog, sitting on my desk looking happy to be alive.
Assorted, disembodied Kermit parts laid out on my desk.
A guitar speaker cab with pink tape stuck across it. The words "transphobes eat shit and die alone" are written on the tape.
A fuzzy green Kermit hand, waving hello.
Three tower blocks being demolished on an overcast day. The one on the right is just beginning to fall, while all that's visible of the other two is plumes of grey dust.
Me in my bathroom with an alien puppet, performing very silly re-creation of the scene from Alien 3 where the xenomorph corners Ripley and gives her a sniff.
A close-up of my WIP replica Kermit's mouth plate. His pink felt tongue looks like a little heart.
The head of a Kermit-style frog puppet, made of blue fleece (shout out to the Mandors remnant bin!). It's lying on my desk full of pins and sharpie lines while I figure out how to get the shape and size right.
Two sheets of green fleece fabric drying over the side of a bathtub. They're completely different shades - the one on the left is a nice, yellowy mossy green, while the right one is more blue looking.
A large pot on a gas stove. It's full of dark green liquid with a few folds of cloth breaking the surface, and a green-stained wooden spatula. There are bottles of yellow and green fabric dye on the worktop next to it.
A jumper hanging on a door handle. It's teal blue (though looks a bit grey in this light), and has a raised pattern around the neck and shoulders, which looks like wheat grains.
A cross stitch of an emergency access sign from the Glasgow subway. As with all of these signs, some of the letters have been scratched off so that it reads "Break ass for emergency ass".
Jake the whippet on a chair covered in festive wrapping paper, nibbling Percy's nose. Percy has a plush pink head, while his body is made of knitted pink rope.
A letter M fridge magnet that was lying around in the woods, perched on a pleasingly mossy tree stump.
The band And So I Watch You From Afar on stage. I'm watching them from a pretty good spot near the front.
A 3d illustration of a smiling jellyfish, holding a Jazzmaster guitar in its tentacles.
A 3d illustration in the style of a film noir poster, showing an isopod inspecting a crime scene amidst the leaf litter. Three chalk outlines on the ground show where other isopods were murdered whilst feasting on a packet of Doritos, in a nod to an old meme. A caption reads: "Whether in the leaf litter or on the ocean floor, he'd find the killer... sooner or later!".
A 3d render of a hare, facing the camera with blank, glowing blue eyes and an expression of horror. It's flanked by ghosts with little bunny ears, as well as holly and hawthorn branches. A full moon looms ominously over the Stonehenge-style monument on the hill behind him.
My mum's old Acorn Electron computer, with its tape deck and some instruction books with wonderfully cheesy 80s cover art.
Gary the Goat God sits serenely, cross-legged on a small grassy hill. He's surrounded by clouds and a large glowing halo. He holds a bunch of grapes in one hand, while the other is raised in a metal 'horns' gesture. A bulb of garlic floats between his horns, purely because I wanted to shoehorn in more G words.
A 3D render of a frog festival. Four frog musicians are performing on a tree stump stage in the swamp, lit by fireflies. There's a crowd of smaller frogs dancing below.
A 3D render of an echidna standing in some grass. A cross-section of the ground beneath its feet shows ants moving through their tunnels. The ants and the echidna's raised snoot are glowing blue with electricity.
A rubbish bin in a local park. There are several names scrawled on it, but the clearest one is 'Cow'.
A low-poly Blender render - side view of a little antelope-type creature, driving through the desert. She looks comically tiny in her huge, 50s-style car. It's turquoise and has a deer skull mounted on the bonnet.
An illustration of Anurognathus sitting on the ground with it's wings folded. It's a cute little guy, even though it looks like a hairy frog with wings.
