(the second-scariest thing was on the frame too actually; drilling those holes for the strap attachment)
Oooone more thing. Not counted as part of the steps because there's a whole other set of grand stuff I've done/need to do.
This was 100% the scariest thing I had to do on it because paint pens + varnished wood = no takebacks whatsoever. x.x

Annnnnd done! Visually at least. Still needs a coat of finisher. And the inscriptions on the side. And a dedication ritual. And and and. But, this was the scary part. And I'm pretty dang happy with it.

@somekindofcrow Bookface.
@shel is wonderfully and deeply weird to see this treatment done to a phrase I helped draft (in a moment of flailing desperation) XD
I think you've improved it. Let me just send a PR here... ;)
(I thought the step-counting was getting too awkward until I realized that of course there will be 9 steps total. Which is appropriate and synchronistic in a way that shouldn't even surprise me anymore. ;)
I guess this would be steps 4-7 and a bit of 8 because I got overeager.

@Jacel *blush!*
Why don't you come over and have a taste, then? ;)
@starkatt Yeah, I had the same feeling. I was thankful there are two books at least! But now I need moooooore.
Slight panic last night as I realized two of the bright colors I've been using to paint the drum for under black light but the third (the light blue) doesn't.
Fortunately, since I'm… me… I already had some clear UV-reactive paint of the right glow-color.
So now my drum has some of the same paint I use on my self. Seems appropriate. ^.^ https://awoo.space/media/UL0brNA7y7W0orpVkFc
Step 3. This is coming along much faster than expected.

@starkatt The author actually grew up writing fanfic if I recall correctly, and it shows, in really lovely ways.
@starkatt https://www.otherscribbles.com/books
This is, for lack of a better world, the comfiest SF I've read in a long time. Intentional families finding their way in a really lovely and well-crafted universe.
Also: Pansexual polyamorous feathery-lizard ladies.
@starkatt Have you read any Becky Chambers?
I realized after finishing that some Pueblo pottery motifs sorta snuck their way in there which I feel... a little weird about, given I am at least ATTEMPTING to be as non-approriative-as-possible here
Guess that sorta thing happens when one grows up surrounded by that style.
