I mentioned in my last post that I was making a pattern for my Cat Cakes’ shells..

Well here it is!

Reminder: this does not include the body, since I’m still trying to figure out a way to make them look nicer.

I’m gradually making touch-ups on both the shell and body. This is an experimental.

Here are the angles for the shell:

Trash Cake was so short because I skipped rows 7-9 on the sides.

Feel free to use the pattern!

I’d love to see if it works for any of you!

Finally decided to be methodical in my shrink plastic journey. First you can see 2 printer maintenance pages— I finally figured out that those awful dull colors I was printing were a hardware failure actually. there was cross contamination in my magenta and yellow cartridges… That brown color is supposed to be that vibrant orange! I didn’t replace my cyan cartridge and I think I should have. I think it’s just harder to see the dark ink contamination with the cyan ink unless I have a fresh print to compare it to. But it definitely looks way too dark in the cyan and green sections of the color spectrum prints!

Colors on shrink plastic get much darker during the bake, so I decreased opacity instead of increasing brightness. (I found details get lost by cranking the brightness.) I still think it ended up pretty dark (maybe bc of ink contamination in the blue?), so I’m gonna try cranking the contrast with 70% opacity next. (I’ll replace the cyan cartridge too.)

I wanted to make a quick gift for a friend, so I tried to crochet the Trash Cat Cake from HSR. I ended up making this uncanny creature.

I was making up the pattern as I went, so I’m surprised it’s not uglier.. still very.. off.

Especially in the early morning.

I tried again with the leftover yarn from Trash Cake. It’s bee-colored because that was the yarn I have. Maybe I’ll one day do some more of the in-game Cat Cakes. I did some touch-ups on the pattern (I may be writing up a pattern for the shell to share, I’m still not happy with how the head is turning out) and this one’s not as flat as Trash Cake.

I’m looking at deserts that have honey in them to see what I should name this bugger.
