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?
Progress pictures of the Jack Frost mirror I’m making. I originally was going to leave it at the four woodburned ones, but after realizing that there’s many more Jacks out there, I thought they all needed love.
The only ones I didn’t include are the ones in Soul Hackers, who look like the standard Jack Frost but are just different colors, which wouldn’t really work on a woodburning since I’m not going to paint it.
Debating on either painting the Shin Megami logo on the glass, or painting “HEE HOO” on it ^^ Leaning more towards “Hee Hoo” :)
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 :)
Urm… yeah, uh… cross-dressing Kanji coaster! I don’t know where I got the idea of just having the hair and scar, but then I felt it was missing something so… get bent? I dunno, I’m rather fond of crossdressing Kanji (or any form of Kanji, really…) so… ta da? And it’s heart-shaped because… o.k. you know what, I don’t need a reason, please to be getting bent!
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! And, as always, the shop is here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/snowtigra?ref=si_shop and the facebook is here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/SewnTogetherReflections/135314263255585
2 Black Butler coasters made for Anime Iowa, which is coming up at the end of the month here. I’ve never made anything Alois, whereas I ALWAYS make something Grell because… it’s Grell, and who wouldn’t want to make something Grell. I also feel the need to paint Grell’s hair and glasses, because, paint everything red :) Also, Grell’s is a heart-shaped coaster because… yeah, Grell ^^
These will be at our table at this years Anime Iowa, so if you’re going to that convention come check us out! If not, then you can always check out our shop here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/snowtigra?ref=si_shop or here http://www.facebook.com/pages/SewnTogetherReflections/135314263255585
Suddenly, I have 50 followers. No way, guys! That’s awesome! I never thought I’d have more than like, 10, or something as I post my crafty things and such, so thank you! Here’s a big post of things I’ve finished for Anime Iowa. Well… the Mario mirror is almost done, I have to finish his other hand ^^;;;
So we have a mix of things: Persona 4, Zelda, Mario, and even Teen Titans. All of these were done by me and you’ve probably seen the coaster sketches I posted. This is what the final product looks like (the coasters and mirror will have protective coating on them to make sure they can’t be damaged and stuff) The top picture is what my house starts to look like as I make things, the coasters are sitting on top of my box of controllers, lol, otherwise they’ll overtake the kitchen table and counter (it’ll get to that point soon though, I know it will).
Be sure to check out the shop here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/snowtigra?ref=si_shop and the facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/SewnTogetherReflections/135314263255585 and if you’re going to Anime Iowa this year, be sure to stop by our table!
And another coaster done, probably the last one for today since I have to go to work now. If you’re going to Anime Iowa this year, be sure to swing by our table. We should have a lot of fun things there, including plushies, and mirrors, and clocks, and wine glasses, and coasters, and Naoto hats, and possibly ponies?
Randomly, is anyone going to Anime Iowa that’s on my tumblr?
Making progress! Anime Iowa is soon so things need to be woodburned and ready to sell. First up is – surprise surprise – Persona things! The first coaster is of Minato and Thanatos, the second is of Naoto. Expect much, muuuuuch more Persona things being posted soon. This is going to be like a craft blog for the rest of the month :)
Posting progress pictures as I go just because :) As I said before, I had to sketch the grid on the mirror with pencil, but now I’m painting in the pieces to create an 8-bit mario :) It’s more than halfway done now, I have to do the overalls and maybe touch up the red a bit more (the mirror is finished wood, so it takes a couple of coats of paint to get it to really stand out).
In random news I haven’t woodburned anything all day >.< Fortunately, I close tomorrow, so I should have time :)
