Thanks to the positive response over the coaster I did I thought, “What goes best with a coaster? A glass!” I use to do glass painting a lot, but then the glass paint I used to use was discontinued, so I stopped. Then, a friend got me some glass stuff for my birthday last year, but the glasses kinda sat around because I couldn’t come up with any ideas for them.
Then Rise of the Guardians came out.
Then I discovered new glass paint.
I’m still testing it out, really, since I’ve never baked it on there before. So in the next two days I’ll know if it actually work/can be washed, ect. I figured it was safe to make Guardians, because if it doesn’t work my partner will keep it. If it does work, well, it’ll be at Anime Detour with the coaster ^^
The glass is hand painted and I actually dipped a pencil in the paint to do the snowflakes, just to try and get the lines done properly ^^ I hope everyone enjoys this new Rise of the Guardians glass and coaster set :)

Captain America appreciation post! (including one parody coaster of if Mario were Captain America, har har ^^) Most of these items (the clock and shield most definitely) are available for purchase, while the coasters can be requested to be made. I didn’t realize that I made so many Captain America things ^^;;;
Naoto coaster done :) (of course, I had this all sketched out before Persona 4 Golden had that whole epilogue thing, but I still like how novel Naoto looks). It might be hard to see around the edge, but it says, “I am a woman, and a detective,” because for some reason there’s this idea going around that now that Naoto seems comfortable with being a woman (be it the novel or the Golden epilogue), that makes her less bad ass. Thinking that way just proves her original point of thinking she needed to be a man to get any respect. Why are we assuming she’s suddenly not as cool because she accepts herself? Come on, this is the same Naoto who helped put the pieces together for Namatame, who called Adachi out for his crimes, and who stood with us against Izanami, and that was all AFTER the big reveal. At what point did she become less bad ass? And no, pointing out her being flustered over getting on stage in a swimsuit or getting in a hot springs doesn’t count, being shy does not make a person less awesome.
And no, I’m absolutely not against the idea of Naoto being trans, I already spoke my piece about that in which I don’t really care how you interpret her (or him), Naoto is amazing no matter what. The point of the coaster is to say hey, the girl interpretation of Naoto Shirogane does not ruin her awesome status for me. She can still kick ass, still does, and still will.
Um… now that that rambling is done… enjoy the coaster?
The fanciest L that ever did L. I found these coasters at the craft store and wanted to see if I could make L even fancier than it already is. This is what I came up with. Woodburning fancy designs are difficult with the curves and my extreme pickiness fun ^^;;;
Like all the other coasters I’ve been posting, these will be at Anime Iowa this year for sale, yay! Just a few more weeks not enough time not enough time NOT ENOUGH TIME!!! I can’t wait :)
Finished the Alexander and Waver coaster finally my feelings are still a puddle over the two of them. I decided to post some more detailed pictures, because I kind of like how it turned out (which is rare because I’m always so critical). Everything is woodburned, even Alexander, though he is really, really lightly burned to make him look… well… please excuse me *runs off bawling*
A-anyway, made for Anime Iowa, just one of about a zillion things I’m trying to finish. Again, if you’re going to that con, check out our table!
