@bostyny Lunea Part 5 - (early) birthday gift for @suteflower

She always liked this set, I wanted to try my hand at converting Bostyny's stuff, February is coming, so here's my little gift <3

All recolorable except for the pencil clutter - the colors aren't always set up as gradients, so it isn't a good choice to try the orange/rose channel trick

All BGC except for the rocking duck, which requires Supernatural

Activity table is functional - if you want the kids to actually draw on them instead of just playing with blocks, get @olomaya's mod!

Both the crib and the toddler bed work as well, cribs. Frame and mattress for the bed are separated

Frog toy comes in two versions: playable and deco

Toy box is properly animated!

The bassinet is deco but I added a lot of slots so you can fill it with dolls and toys

The highest poly item is around 1.5k (the crib, I believe), so don't worry about polycount

Some items have extra presets with stencils, have a look at them with CASt

Comes with collection file

Ceramic Pufferfish Jar by SarahWhyteCeramics

I had no good place to store my necklaces so I made a necklace holder.

I found this nifty long octagonal frame at the thrift store sometime last year, and having acquired a hand saw and a big piece of 7mm plywood at two recent estate sales I was able to trace the very ugly inner part of the frame and cut a replacement. I glued a piece of black cotton velveteen to it (the same fabric I used for my beading tray, also from the thrift store) and left it overnight to dry.

I worked out the spacing of the hooks by arranging skewers on it - I didn't want any chains overlapping with lower hooks. I marked it on a sheet of paper and evened it out to make it symmetrical, drilled pilot holes, and screwed all the hooks in. I had to borrow my father's drill because I still don't have one, and I really should get one.

I would like to eventually strip and stain the frame a darker brown, but it's -11 and snowy out so that'll have to wait till Spring. Thankfully the plywood is held on by little spring steel arm thingies attached to the back of the frame, so it's very easy to take out.

Being hung up with picture wire isn't ideal, as the whole thing wobbles a bit when touched, but it's not in any danger of falling down. If necessary I could put several necklaces on one hook, but at present the hooks slightly outnumber the necklaces. (Most of the necklaces are also from the thrift store, except for a couple of inherited ones.)

Edit: I have made a blog post about the process!

Most U.S. electricity “storage” is not a giant battery. It’s water. About 94% of U.S. grid storage capacity comes from pumped hydropower, where utilities use extra power to pump water up into a reservoir, then let it flow back down later to generate electricity again.
