Progress pictures of woodburnings that will be available for Anime Central. First is Death the Kid from Soul Eater as a big woodburning piece. The second is two Game of Thrones coasters, I hope to have all of the houses done for Anime Central along with the Hunger Games, too. Last, but not least, is Superman, since I’ve kind of been geeking out over him lately thanks to Injustice and the upcoming “Man of Steel.” Batman has always been my favorite, but lately…
For Anime Central I’m trying to have as much woodburnings as I can, but Detour kind of wiped me out since I sold over 70 coasters out of the 100 I had. We’ll see how this goes :)
Anime Central
So the next convention for us is Anime Central, and man, we have a LOT of stuff to get made beforehand. I didn’t expect to sell so much stuff at Anime Detour. I started with 101 coasters and am down to 29. I started with 9 clocks and am down to 3. The tarot set did AMAZINGLY WELL, with 5 coasters left out of 26. I will most likely be remaking those and maybe making some repeats. The Magician got asked about the most ^^. I also have 13 commissions to finish. Guess it’s time not to have a social life for about a month, which is fine, because I also have to finish editing the book. Also have to run out and get more supplies this weekend since I’m running low on things.
So here’s some sets I’m thinking of doing for sure:
1. Sailor Moon (since ALL of them sold)
2. Adventure Time (particularly want to do the gender swap set)
3. Persona Tarot (no matter how much I’m going to swear at it)
4. Nostalgia stuff (like Cartoon Network, probably old school Nickelodeon too, just cuz it’s fun seeing people’s reactions to it)
5. Persona eye sets (because I only have three left)
6. Young Justice/comic heroes/super heroes in general
I’m still thinking of other series to do, and I’d love suggestions as well :) I also need to do more large woodburnings since Faye sold right away and Sebastian went up pretty high in the Charity Auction. I still wonder who got it, though, I wish I could thank them ^^
Is this how it feels to have a small business?
Story Snippet: Treat Me Kindly
brichibiwritesthings:
Wow, I’ve hit 100 posts, yay! Now that Anime Detour is over and new followers have been acquired, I thought I would post a new snippet to the book. I’m in the first round of edits right now and am about halfway done :)
Warnings: Gruesome imagery
Scene: From chapter six
Story so far: Matthew Sharpton went to an animal auction and brought home a bird, but that bird has the strange ability to turn human. She only asks that she is “treated kindly,” and then she will do the same for hew new master. Unfortunately, Matthew’s father has other plans for the lovely Ms. Jazzmyn, but those plans don’t go the way he thinks they will.

It’s been a while, but here’s a new snippet from the book :)
Hi followers! Here’s a preview of what to expect tomorrow at Anime Detour. I say preview because this isn’t even close to half of it. Be sure to come visit me (Sewn Together Reflections) and check out what’s there. Also, feel free to tell me if you’re a follower :) Also, the Sebastian woodburning will be in the charity auction, signed by J. Michael Tatum himself thanks to Detour staff being awesome.
Con tomorrow! One hour of sleep! Yay!
“Treat Me Kindly” first round edits
brichibiwritesthings:
In the process of editing the book, hoping to have it done early next week EVEN WITH DETOUR BEING THIS WEEKEND! Yep. I’m crazy. I know.
But I’m in the second chapter already, that’s good right? Here’s my favorite quote so far from Alex, the main character, to his friend Nicholas in regards to them ever having a chance at dating:
“Nick-Nack I’ve told you that if you grow breasts and stop standing in line at midnight for hard to pronounce video games I’ll give you a shot.”
We’re in the first round of book edits! Follow the blog for more information :)

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven’t been doing much writing lately. Anime Detour is only 2 weeks away so its crunch time on getting things done for my table. I thought I’d share some pics of what I’ve been up to.
1. Shin Megami Tensei tarot card coaster set! There’s only 8 more left to woodburn, but the picture shows that I, indeed, have every single card that shows up in Persona 3 and Persona 4 :)
2. Sebastian Michaelish woodburning. For Anime Detour’s charity auction to hopefully be signed by the voice actor and put up for bid. His eyes are painted red because he’s “one hell of a…” yeah you know the saying.
3. Eva unit 01 woodburning. For sale at my table along with a whole bunch of other things.
4. Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop. For sale at my table along with a whole bunch of other things.
Also at the table I’ll have business cards for my book, “Treat Me Kindly,” since they came in a week earlier than expected :) I’ll be spending this weekend writing, since I have a short story to look over and edit by Monday. Whee, busy busy busy!
Message from the writing blog on why the heck there hasn’t been much writing lately. Look at them crafts, yo!
OMG! Last woodburning done before the weekend! Cowboy Bebop, man, where do I begin? Despite how many times Cartoon Network has played this (are they still playing it?) I still have so much love for this series. I thought a cool, silhouette of Faye Valentine would be great for a last big woodburning for Anime Detour. If I magically have time left in the next two weeks I might do another big burning, but I doubt that I will, so Faye is the last one for this con :)
Picture one: All finished! White smoke and all!
Picture two: Beginning sketch
Picture three: Woodburned, minus white smoke.
See you in space, cowboy! Or rather, see you at Anime Detour ^^
*exhausted breath* O.K. This is the last progress picture, the next picture will have ALL OF THEM WOODBURNED! But this is ALL of the tarot cards in the arcana for Persona 3 and Persona 4. This includes the extras, like Adachi for example and the face on the back of the cards. There are only 8 more left to burn *happy dance*
This whole set will be at Anime Detour in a couple of weeks :)
Hey guys! Remember this crazy project? It’s almost done! I’m sketching the very last tarot card right now! I hope to have the entire set done by the end of the week :) This set includes the arcana in Arena, in just… well, everything Persona 3 and Persona 4 ^^
I’m debating on whether or not I should have one last card with the image that’s on the back of the cards. This one right here.
The entire set will be at Anime Detour in a few weeks. I think, maaaaybe, whatever sells I want to try and remake for Anime Central. I might change my mind since this entire project has been insane ^^;; The coasters can be purchased individually since I don’t expect anyone to be crazy enough to buy all of them.
Thoughts on having the face as a card to go with it? Thoughts on the project as a whole?
