Anyake Is The Highly Regarded And Mysterious Leader Of The High Desert Mouse Tribe. No One Knows How

Muriel bjd campaign ends tomorrow, 10/5!

Good morning! I wanted to share the project update from my Muriel bjd Kickstarter here in case any of you all are following along!

The campaign is coming to a close. I saw a few people had added multiple Muriels and, with all the color options available, I thought I'd increase the add-on quantity from 2 to 3 for the doll categories. Each doll add-on should have a maximum quantity of 3 now, so if you have been wanting to add an extra doll or two, you can! This way, you can get CMYK if you want (or any other color combo).

I've been printing my first official Muriel dolls. First, I'll finish printing the mini I'm working on, and then I will do a big version testing the other dye type. I plan to use these two as my instructional video Muriels for the kits! We'll go through assembly on each one and I'll show it using common household tools (with the option of some other things you can buy to make it faster/easier). Hopefully this will make it more accessible for those of you who aren't experienced in ball-jointed dolls (but are about to be...lol)

I thought I'd share some art of Muriel here, as some of you probably haven't seen it. It's fun looking back on these drawings and seeing how she and her misprints evolved.

Please let me know if you have any questions before the campaign ends! I will still be updating here after the campaign ends and sharing progress photos of the dolls; expect some fun printer build plate photos and lots of fun colors (unless yall order the same thing… lol).

I'm so excited to get started on these! Thank you all so much for joining me on my first Kickstarter journey.

This is one of those things where the discourse is just completely broken. Both of these takes are shit and no one is concerned about the actual problem.

Republicans want to bring back incandescents because they just want to trigger the libs and have decided light bulbs are woke.

And the "LEDs are fine" crowd are throwing people with flicker sensitivities under the bus. And, no, you don't have to be "pretty far on the spectrum" to notice a difference. And even if you did... why in the world is this person so dismissive of the millions of autistic folks?

LEDs, for the most part, are superior to incandescent bulbs. Collectively they save people billions of dollars in energy costs and greatly reduce fossil fuel use. You have more options for color and brightness. You can control them with your phone. LEDs are fantastic.

Unfortunately there is a design flaw that makes LEDs hard to use for certain people. Due to AC power, most LEDs have a 60hz refresh rate. Meaning they turn off and on 60 times per second. With incandescents this didn't matter because the filament didn't have time to lose its glow between cycles.

Most people cannot see this flicker in LEDs. But there are millions of people who are sensitive to it and it can cause migraines and discomfort.

The solution is definitely not to go back to incandescents. There are flicker free LEDs and I think with some regulation we could make sure all LEDs are flicker free or at least make sure flicker free bulbs are easy to find and not priced at a premium.

Thankfully there is a group testing bulbs to find the ones that will most likely cause no discomfort. They call themselves the Flicker Alliance and their website has a pretty decent selection of tested and approved bulbs.

So if you feel like your LED bulbs might be causing you distress, that is a good resource to try. I think there is also something you can do to make sure the LED drivers are using DC power, but I haven't really looked into that.

It's happening! TOMORROW AT NOON! I will be posting some color mock-ups (there are four options) and more info soon! Mostly tomorrow, though. I will infodump you tomorrow. I need to make some more graphics and get the form ready (lmao help).

I don't love when people solicit shares BUT shares would help in this situation lmao. I kind of don't know what to expect. People like Harold, but idk if it is enough? My Muriel project was unexpectedly successful, but I recognize I'm not entitled to success and have no idea what will happen. I need a minimum of 12 to make the casting actually happen, so I hope you all can help me with that! Honestly I feel like I'm at a turning point here and would love to do dollmaking as my main "art" rather than begging the internet to do illustrations, so any interactions and stuff really help!

Anyway! TL;DR HAROLD HAPPENING TOMORROW AAAAAAAAAA

Forgot to post biiiiiiig proto-pink Muriel yesterday <3
