2026-05-03 (Su) Fisticuffs Small base

I wanted to ship Fred some of the prints, but they were unreasonably fragile. The tendrils on the sides were too delicate to survive transport and probably too weak for packing material. The group talked about it for a few days. Fred tossed out the idea of gluing them to a base, and I ran with that idea. Years ago, when I was making light-up dice, I experimented with silicone molds and had a few disc-shaped versions in my closet.

Additionally, I experimented with hot glue as the medium, and I knew I could buy colored glue sticks. I ordered some black sticks. I slowly heated the silicone mat on my range at a low temperature, and it liquified after ten minutes. I placed the monsters in the heinous soup and moved them to a cooling trivet. Once the glue cooled, I removed them, and they were totally secure. I even have one sitting on my work desk.

Sitting pretty
