Did a pop-up livestream yesterday! I put together an all new setup for showcasing the vinyl workstation. Support did get back to me about the machine's tension issue; I have a workable solution for now & was able to resume cutting again after a bunch of experimenting. Got a batch of my oldest signs on the queue completed!

So long everyone! I've decided to run off into the woods, never to be heard from again...

...until next week.

Big camping trip that's been in the works for a couple of years is finally happening today! Photo is of the "Tree of Life" along the beach of the Pacific Northwest USA & I'm going out to visit again before it fully collapses.

I'll be back in the lab Monday... & I may have been secretly synthesizing something special for pride month 🌈㊙️

Yeah, I made a few decals today

WHEW, I really pushed myself today... managed to get all remaining orders from FWA (Saturday & Sunday) fully processed! That was a solid ten hours of non-stop work

I ended up getting more new orders crossed off in the past two days than I ever been able to before, within a week of coming home from a con... it means the new system is working & I'll be able to apply it to the FE & LVFC orders next!

Now I can finally finish laundry & make dinner... oops it's almost 1am 😑

Had a really frustrating start this morning, but all Friday FWA orders have now been processed!

This means they've been added to the Trello, packing slips printed, clients contacted, & work orders for all printed shirts (excluding hybrid Metamorphics) have be submitted to the little local shop I'm partnered with

In addition to this, I finally finished creating & uploading the new "Rise" shirt templates for all color palette options in all sizes

A satisfying rainbow (& amount) of handcrafted UV & glow in the dark Metamorphic shirts completed!

Most of the vinyl shirts ordered from BLFC, MFF, ANW, & FC are now crossed off my list ✅

I used to be more capable of this kind of output; that's why a big batch of orders after a con hadn't been a problem

When I am suddenly unable or prevented from doing work for long periods of time... I had been saying "frustrated", but I think "distraught" would be more accurate

LabUpdate

File -> Save As -> "andraconix_Rise_THICC.svg"

This is adjustment #4 of my "Rise" shirt design, but I'm finally calling it complete!

Took me awhile to identify all the problem areas & find a balance in line weight for both DTF printing & UV-reactive vinyl versions

The printed version is now on my Etsy store! You can choose from 9 pre-set color palettes in sizes from XS to 6XL

The UV-reactive vinyl version (Neon) will be available in the future after my queue is cleared, since the redesign caused fulfilment delays

Flying back from Furnal Equinox now! Tuesday is jetlag recovery, Wednesday I drive 3 more hours to home

Continuing design templates for active orders while still remote (even working on the plane). Trello updates soon to follow

Should be able to begin cutting signs Thursday!
