I made a little cryptids drawstring bag as the main item for my partners in the Monster Mystery Swap. But what’s a bag without something in it?
Over in the Nerd Games, one of my bingo squares is 1980s & Shrinky Dinks. So I researched monsters of the 80s. The Blob came out in 1988. It was a pink gelatinous monster that devoured its victims by absorbing them. I’m not sure if D&D’s gelatinous cube came first or The Blob, but somebody’s got grounds to yell.
I decided to make a Blob magnet for my partners. Sadly I didn’t get any good pics.
My blobs started out as a loose sketch.
I used alcohol markers, ink pen, and white gel pen to bring it to life.
Next I scanned my drawing and printed it on inkjet shrink plastic at 50% opacity, then baked them for 4 minutes.
I glued magnets on the back and used UV Resin to make sure those magnets are permanently fixed in place, and protected the magnet fronts with their own coat of resin.
All in all, I absolutely love the result and may make a few extra for STS.
