#like i cant belive how in 2021 i made sandalphon lif hypnos karna and moon phos in succession and each one was both an involved build *and*

im gnawing at the bars of my cage. ive been increasingly displeased with my costume work, i can compare my recent craftsmanship to work from 2 years ago and that work is objectively better on a technical level. i KNOW this is happening because for one reason or another i've felt this impetus to put out something new EVERY single month and do one project right after another so my work has been getting progressively sloppier and rougher.

i've tried to actively combat it during a project by trying to get myself to focus and slow down, but at this point im almost certain i have to take a break and go through a hard reset period of a month or two (if not more) where i dont make any costumes at all. BUT this is where the gnawing comes in bc i know that taking a long break will be the best choice of action on all fronts but i want to make CAUGHSTOUMES NOW
