I love all the little details - the lines on the palm and so on :)

The more and more I paint keycaps the more I realize how much work you put into yours. My hat is off to you my friend and all the amazing work you do.

Once I receive my keycap from you it will forever stay in my possession. I am eager to see what you have made for me.

Because of the nature of their demolding I believe these ones really will never clean up correctly.  Regardless they do look sort of cool?

Only three keys made it out being functional.  Something just isn't setting correctly.  It seems like color is seriously interfering with cure times.  A set like this could theoretically take 4-5 hours to cure.  At 3 hours they were not yet entirely hard.  These also had some terrible effects on the mold they were in, but that could have been the conditions of the molds to begin with.

That's exactly what I thought when I saw the caps above.  Hence the photograph after my trip to a supermarket earlier today!

I've been commendably resisting this since I first saw the combination.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

quick poll.  Gonna cast more caps... but what molds to make?  I've got an MX to decide on.  Earl Esc, Grizzle-key Bear, or Comedy?

technically only one of these appeared on techkeys.us, that was comedy and tragedy.  Only going to be doing comedy these days... tragedy is unfortunately too dark for a bunch of people.
