I've posted her elsewhere, but this is Teana. A few years back, my boy wanted a posable body for a Halloween Halloween monkey who's head broke off. One rabbit hole later and I was knee deep in the ball-joint doll section of the 3d printing community. He and I decided we'd make our own but as monsters.

The smoothing process for the white ABS I was using reminded me of my time working with porcelain and that's how Teana happened. Eventually Id like to sew a little dress and pose her on my brick-a-brack shelf in a decorative cloche.

More recently I've been building a mid century modern sectonal couch out of scrap lumber and a memory foam mattress. I'm far from a carpenter, didn't even own saw when I started, but it's coming together very nicely. It will look great with my TV.

It was a later model zenith with a broken screen. It's not the real wood style my parents had, the front is molded plastic, but it still feels nice. I gutted it, used a dremel to widen the hole behind the face, and nylon straps to hold up a cheap 32in from Walmart. I then disassembled an old tower and built it into the empty space inside and mounted a soundbar to echo off the back wall. The screen actually loses about 4cm off the edges became of the frame, but it feels more like the classic aspect ratio and that's nice. Also I've yet to watch a movie that needed that area anyway.
