The Inner Workings of a Chibi.
ACEN report thus far

1.  I’m apparently a gorgeous Princess Tiana and got my picture taken more times than I thought I would.  This led to me getting lots of free swag, from keychains to ice cream.  Also got recognized by non con-goers who were driving around and got my picture taken from someone’s car window.  Also, I caused quite a few people to squee in delight.  I consider this a win.

2.  My woodburning is apparently awesome, and one person expressed interest in hooking up in regards to an upcoming project he has while another expressed interest in getting an entire coffee table woodburned.

3.  Our table neighbors have an amazing webcomic called “Grave Impressions,” a 1940s yaoi comic that not only features older men, but is historically accurate to the time (as in, the characters use the same lingo from that time period, their clothes are accurate and everything).  They also do amazing watercolor fanart, so we commissioned them do to some of our characters from “Hunters: Seeking the Storyteller” and if that goes well we will commission more.  I will post pictures of the commissioned work on my writing blog.

4.  Old 1980s kung fu soap operas are gold.

5.  Yaya Han is the nicest person ever :)

6.  Kalafina gives an amazing concert and are also adorable as they attempt to speak English to thank everyone for coming.

7.  The traffic is still just as insane.

8.  HOMG NAOTO SHIROGANE FIGURE LESS THAN $100!!!  

9.  Kanji and Naoto is everyone’s OTP at the con.  My headcanons bring joy to people who read them.  And they also bring me free stickers of Kanji dressed like a girl and an adorable Kanji keychain (I swear I got more free swag at this con than any other con).

10.  Somehow I gained more followers, like… 5.  I don’t even remember the cards having my tumblr on it, but… hi new followers :)

I think that’s everything so far?  

You guys one of the other artists setting up had a Kanji and Naoto print.  I’m not sayin’ I pounced her like a hungry lioness who craves the pure subsistence of her OTP, I’m just sayin’ that I now have a Kanji and Naoto print to add to my Persona collection  :)

All done and ready for ACEN! Please feel free to come by our table if you’re at the con this weekend :) We take custom orders on everything at our table, so if there’s something specific you want, feel free to let us know.

Hi guys! So this is why I’ve been so scarce on Tumblr lately (that and spending time with my dad). We’re getting ready for Anime Central this weekend and have been working like crazy. This isn’t all of the coasters I’ve finished, but it’s the most...

Hi guys!  So this is why I’ve been so scarce on Tumblr lately (that and spending time with my dad).  We’re getting ready for Anime Central this weekend and have been working like crazy.  This isn’t all of the coasters I’ve finished, but it’s the most recent ones.

If you’re going to ACEN, be sure to come look for me!  Sewn Together Reflections, booth #41  :)  We’ll also be taking commissions on everything offered at our table, so if there’s something in particular that you want, just let us know.

Anime Central 2013

My partner and I haven’t been to ACEN in years, and have never gone as artists – always attendants.  But next year, we get to go as artists!

I managed to get in in time to get us a table when it opened (which was like, a 15 minute window).  So if you’re planning on going to the biggest anime con in the Midwest next year, I’ll be there with a table yay!
