Or perhaps, she borrowed a cloaking device from an emu.

Because you paid thousands of dollars to learn how, so obviously the universe can't allow you to make use of that skill and investment by actually working on your field.

Less pessimistic: it says good things that
1: Faye stepped the fuck up and supervised Sam this time.
2: Bubbles trusts Faye enough that Bubbles could goof off while Sam is using power tools.
3: As an abstract sculpture, Faye sort of has a degree in fabrication, which is exactly what she supervised Sam in doing.

"How am I the only one not doing art here?" Faye asks. Well, frankly, Faye, it's your own 'fault' (if you want to call it that) for specialising in an oeuvre that is so niche that it has few applications outside of dedicated sculpture. Photography and ink art both have a wide range of applications. Making metal shapes that are interesting? Nothing, beyond what you're doing here and even then only tangentially.

At least Faye knows enough to tell Sam to not leave May's lubricant on her body. Not even May knew that, much to Sven's discomfort!

Now... Am I the only ones who think that 'BeepsSexySpraysShots' is going to go viral fairly quickly? I wonder how Beepatrice will react to suddenly being a pin-up on a lot of young beings' bedroom walls?

No. 3 in the good things list -- That's it, exactly. Art is where you find it (or put it), even if you don't see it right away. But, yes, Faye, I feel like that sometimes, especially when a friend whom I've caricatured uses some Bitmoji or whatever it is nowadays for their social media profile pic. But then I get a commission and things are OK with the world for a while.

As with many creative endeavors with substantial material and time costs, you only get to keep doing it so long as you have a client to bankroll the project or enough alternate income to pay for it yourself.

(I do custom computer mods/rigs and only get to do the REALLY fun stuff when I have the money to pay for it myself)

That said, Faye does have access to a full fabrication shop now, and probably a pile of scrap material, plus a lot of time on her hands (if her griping is to be believed).  She could take the time to make something that showcases the shop's skill and capability to put out front as a conversation starter.

That, or we could yet see a Mayspresso machine...
