Creative Mechanics

Story time: Every day on my “commute” I pass a house that has one of those Home Depot 10 foot giant skeletons. But this thing doesn’t go down after Halloween, no sir. Every month they decorate it differently, depending on the holiday. It’s either putting up Christmas lights, wearing shamrocks, or sporting a pair of Easter bunny ears. . I enjoyed passing by the skeleton so much that I drew a picture and left it in the mailbox of the owners. They were thrilled to receive it! . Here’s to making the neighborhood more fun, this e guys totally get my sense of humor. :) . . . #skeleton #giantskeleton #homedepotskeleton #fun #homedecor #goodtimes #sharingiscaring #awesome #edensandersart #creativemechanics https://www.instagram.com/p/CrY4aodR2Ro/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

See where I’m going with this? . My big plans for my next project was going to be building a life-size, rideable Patrol Trooper Speeder for parades and conventions. . I was hoping to use the prize money from that one cosplay contest to fund this project, but that unfortunately didn’t pan out. . I’m still planning on making one, but have yet to find a good, cost effective way to build it. Hopefully more details to come later. . . . #patrolspeeder #patroltrooper #speederbike #speeder #starwars #propmaking #propbuilder #rotj #returnodthejedi #solo #hansolo #soloastarwarsstory #stormtrooper #stormtroopers https://www.instagram.com/p/CrQ_3SkunAF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is my final plea: if I don’t get enough votes in the next hour I’ll be kicked out of the contest. . (And the guy beating isn’t even on Instagram! How does he have so many votes?) . Link in bio or here: https://cosplaystar.org/2023/eden . Otherwise I’ll be dead in the water! . I’m counting on you! . https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq_2F9Wxhfz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Rogue Stormtrooper hits the slopes! . More pics from last weeks mountain excursion. . Before I even knew the 501st legion existed this was the first suit I made for myself. It’s been upgraded over the years, but the core design has always stayed the same. . #stormtrooper #roguestormtrooper #starwarscosplay #snowboarding @sundanceresort #sundance #utahskiing #greatestsnowonearth #armor #starwarsfan #stormtrooperhelmet #stormtroopercosplay #snowboard #mountains #edensandersart #creativemechanics https://www.instagram.com/p/CofOSt8rnc-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I still have Star Wars props updates from last weekend! May I present… the blaster tote! . I was having a problem transporting blasters and props to 501st events, so I modified this slim travel tote to sit atop my normal tote when on-the-go. . Features decals from Black Spire Outpost and BlasTech industries. (Who knew they actually had a logo?!) . . And keep your eyes peeled! I might be finishing my Death Trooper suit soon! . . #starwarsprops #starwarscrate #costumetote #cosplay #crate #diy #propmaking #propmaker @armorpartyshow #clonetrooper #mandalorian #badbatch #thebadbatch #starwarsart #starwarscosplay #clonetroopercosplay #edensandersart #creativemechanics https://www.instagram.com/p/CnhYQfLL1b8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What I am most proud of making this year? THESE THINGS -> . All in all, I think 2022 for me was a jumble of impulse projects and 3D printing madness. But it sure was worth the effort! . Next year will be more planned and streamlined, here’s to next year! . . #3dprinting #topnine #top9 #edensandersart #creativemechanics #starwarscosplay #starwarsprops #propmaker #maker #builder #diy #3dprint #hassle #makersgonnamake #artistsoninstagram #stopmotion #storyboarding https://www.instagram.com/p/CmwiBt2LKXt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
