EVA Foam Dynamite - Etsy UK

This Costume Weapons item by FoamcraftArmory has 36 favorites from Etsy shoppers. Ships from United Kingdom. Listed on 18 Oct, 2022

Etsy finally added a way to calculate tariffs for sales to the US. Basically they recommend using the global prices setting to set a separate price for US customers. For every listing. One at a time.

They also partnered with an outside company to help people calculate the tariffs (10%) and estimate tariff codes (a requirement for all international packages since 2020) based on a description of the item. I tried it. It couldn't find the right tariff code.

I took some new pictures for Etsy

It looks the same from every angle 😁

[foamcraft-armory]

I finished three of these this week.

A week ago I ordered more foam after the first three sold so I can make four more. It arrived on Tuesday and the dynamite has already sold out again

[foamcraft-armory]

I've made 70 of these.

Plus a lot of individual sticks mostly for cosplayers and larpers, 20 of them were for a magician.

I've made around 600 sticks of dynamite altogether

[foamcraft-armory]

77 of them now and another 52 individual sticks.

And today I forgot to put the 'dynamite' stencil on 🙃

[foamcraft-armory]

The first one of these was made from scrap foam that I just wanted to use up before buying more.

And now I have to send a bunch of them to Universal Studios

[foamcraft-armory]

Etsy says I've sold 99 of them so far

[foamcraft-armory]

119 on Etsy and five on Ebay

[foamcraft-armory]

I can finish five of these before Monday.. I'm sure of it.. should be easy 😬

[foamcraft-armory]

The thing about making five of them at once is that everything takes five times as long 😭

But they're done

[foamcraft-armory]

Behold! All the dynamite I made over the last few days!

(I ran out of foam to use as a background 😔)

[foamcraft-armory]

[foamcraft-armory]

This is the only one I've sold this year 😔

[foamcraft-armory]

Unripened dynamites

[foamcraft-armory]

They grow up so fast 🥺

[foamcraft-armory]

They went to the post office today 🥺

[foamcraft-armory]

Before and after sanding. They were far too smooth before

[foamcraft-armory]

The ends of all the sticks are now done 😎

[foamcraft-armory]

And now they just need painting

[foamcraft-armory]

Almost there.

So this is a layer of primer, then red. More red. And stencilled 'dynamite' on 24 of the sticks.

I had to leave a space where the next layer is glued on. I didn't want to glue foam to paint and I can't put the stencil on last. So clear space with no paint.

I've done this 138 times now 🙃

[foamcraft-armory]

And this is how they looked this morning.

All done. Apart from the clear top coat. Which I've run out of ☹️

[murderandjam]

Beloved mutual...

What do you mean you've made just shy of eleven hundred sticks of prop dynamite??

[foamcraft-armory]

I don't know what to tell you. It doesn't feel like that many

[foamcraft-armory]

I ordered the clear top coat (plasti dip) on Friday.

The package arrived this morning. And they sent the wrong thing

[foamcraft-armory]

I miscounted the bomb devil dynamite 😬 It makes the total 1103 sticks.

Plus however many I've made in the last few weeks

There are seven outside drying now. And two on eBay last week.

I think that makes 146 bundles of seven

The most recently completed dynamites. Looking identical to all of the others

[foamcraft-armory]

How would you know if you were stuck in a time loop?

...asking for a friend

[foamcraft-armory]

Sometimes I think I'm almost done with dynamite..

And then the loop starts again 😔

[parkchanwoohoo]

So funny when artists I comm are like "Hey I'm not gonna charge you for the additional details <3" "I'm not gonna charge you extra since you waited :)" hahahahaha bitch you're getting paid, idgaf

I liked this post, scrolled for like another minute before I went “SHIT FUCK SHIT” and scrolled back to reblog it

[quadriviummuse]

I always reblog this one when I see it on my dash. When someone posts their own art, writing, or music here they are really hoping you will share it.

Keep thinking about this Austin Walker post that now lives in my brain. It's a reply to people saying genAI can help creators 'develop concepts' and waste less time on research (x)

It's not dynamite!

[foamcraft-armory]

It has gone 😔

There was a kid outside the post office with a giant stuffed toy doing the 'penny for a Guy' bit.

...It's May? What are you doing?

honestly, it seems that for most of the people is digital drawing much quicker than traditional? How is that possible? When you can constantly erase/change brushes etc! I am so overwhelmed by possibilities…

while at traditional drawing- once I can’t erase anymore….then you have to work with whatever you have :3

[lucybellwood]

Newer artists often ask me about drawing traditionally with this horror in their eyes like "What do you do if you make a mistake???"

Meanwhile I'm over here going "How do you live if the system you're using operates on the false promise of attainable perfection???"

[rosslynpaladin]

This is a real psychological barrier you have to get over when you train to be a fast-draw caricature or portrait artist actually. We primarily work In permanent black marker

with an audience watching

and if we don't work with the marks made we can't do our job. So part of the learning process is giving up on perfectionism and learning to have and to TRUST one's own confident judgement in making lines, fast, fluid, and in the right places.

It is NOT easy. But if you want to have a lot more confidence in art, try working in ink on paper for a while. Do it. Then do it over. Do it over, do it over, do it over. Make LOTS of messes. Get over the fear of failing. Learn to judge and trust your judgement.
