Hello! My name is Rachel Holmes. A traditional artist who just found out about the world of 3D printing and 3D design.

So I've always been into art since before I can ever remember. It's the best way to relax in my opinion. I started with realistic pencil drawings, then on to acrylic and oil paintings and creepy horror dolls.

My canvas art, and my dolls, have found their way into homes all over the world! That is absolutely amazing to me :) I am so happy and humbled and I am still totally mind blown by this.

My journey into 3D printing and design was a complete surprise to me. It's not something I would have thought I would enjoy. Now, I am totally addicted! and I am having so much fun with this !!

It all started only a few months ago in February when my 18 year old accidentally bought two Ender 3 Pros off of Amazon. Instead of sending it back (return fees would have been crazy expensive), I suggested putting it on FB marketplace to get their money back. As the extra printer sat there, unsold I pondered the coolness of actually being able to print stuff. I didn't know much about it. And the task of assembling the thing was daunting. A not so long story short, I bought it in March of this year. Within a month I upgraded the heck out of it, and never looked back.

I was so amazed at all the wonderful things I could just print! I didn't know that 3D printing was so handy! I really wanted to give back, create something of my own design. But I had never ever done any sort of digital designing before.

After some research I found Zbrush! and boy oh boy! the creativity flows. It's just like real sculpting, but less messy lol

Below is a screen-captured video I did of my Octopus Mermaid.

Hopefully, she'll be available here on MyMiniFactory soon to download ;)

I hope you like it!
