We’re remodeling our geek room~
The top pic is most of our anime/manga. Thank goodness for cube shelves that let us put things in two rows deep. Also the second, third, and fourth rows of the cube shelves are yaoi and yuri (omg what is my life).
Second pic is us being way too happy about finding the perfect curtain. Granted… we had to go to the boys’ bathroom section at Target and get creative but it still works!
More pics to come as we get more stuff done throughout the month ^__^
Because the Sailor Moon feels are getting more intense in this house, we have a new hat available in the shop. Special thanks to Carter the Kitten for sitting still for five seconds so she could serve as my Luna :)
Wow hey look at all of the hat sketches! This means… NEW PRODUCTS FOR 2014!
All right, so my wifey already makes a few different character hats, but she came upstairs this weekend with a bunch of patterns and said, “Sketch some for me to make.”
And… ta da!
These are just examples, but we can do any character you want, whether it’s a hat they wear or an idea to make a hat in their image (like the Death the Kid one). We can also alter what the hat looks like (like if you want the Charlotte hat to be made in the style of the Titan hat, ect.)
I hope to create the listing for it soon so people can purchase them. And just like with the hoodies, if you have any character ideas, tell me.
Here’s what the sketches are from top left to bottom right:
1. Kuriboh themed hat from Yugioh (completely with his little arms as ear flaps)
2. Sailor Moon themed hat (interchangeable with the other scouts)
3. Free! Iwatobi Swim Club (with a bonus Iwatobi-chan pin for extra)
4. Dark Magician Girl themed hat from Yugioh
5. Death the Kid themed hat from Soul Eater
6. Attack on Titan themed hat (yeeeeeeah)
7. Eternal Sailor Moon themed hat
8. Puu hat (with ear flaps)
9. Charlotte from Madoka Magica hat (again, yeeeeeeeah)

So we’ll be going to a Holiday Geek Expo here on December 7th and 8th, which means we’re going to be offering holiday themed items. Yesterday I finished sketching 6 Christmas stockings that will potentially be made for the Holiday Expo. Essentially, my job is to sketch ideas that my wifey can make. The top picture is my sketches while the bottom picture is an example of what the finished product looks like (it can come in a smaller size, this particular person wanted it bigger).
Going left to right from the top:
1. Harley Quinn
2. Sailor Moon (and of course it can be made into the other scouts ♥)
3. Jack Frost from Rise of the Guardians (seemed appropriate for the time of year)
4. Nagisa from Free! Based on the outfit from the ending sequence.
5. Yoshi! ♥♥♥
6. Death the Kid from Soul Eater.
We also can take commissions on these, all you have to do is ask for a character and a stocking will be made for them. You can either go to the listing or message me or my wifey here on tumblr.
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.
Back when I was to college, I was part of a Gundam Wing yaoi mailing list for Heero Yuy and Duo Maxwell (1x2x1 ML forever!) On that mailing list was a girl who called herself snowtigra. We started chatting over IRC (yeah this is how long ago this was) and ended up doing a fic together that was a terrible Resident Evil/Gundam Wing crossover that’s still on the internet somewhere, I’m sure.
Anyhow, long story short, we’re still together after 11 years somehow.
One day, while chatting over IRC, we started roleplaying with anime characters. They came from all sorts of series, from Gundam Wing, to Yu Yu Hakusho, and we just… kept doing it. We started calling it “dating.” She lived in Minnesota and I was in Iowa for school, so we were long distance, but every night we’d get online and “date.” This involved coming up with random plots for these characters, and as we got into more anime series and video games, more characters would show up. Like, “Hey, Gaara is really cool, we should put him somewhere,” or, “I’m really obsessed with Kanji and Naoto right now,” or, “Sebastian and Ciel, please.”
When I moved up to Minnesota, we got an apartment together. One day, after she picked me up from work, we found out that our apartment had been broken into. This included our laptops, which had the file on it we used to roleplay. So, we had to start all over again.
That’s when things changed.
Suddenly characters were changing. For example, we would think, “This would be awesome if it were a female lead,” and so boy characters changed to girl characters. Then we came up with the concept of “The Storyteller,” a creature who lives in a library full of books, each book depicting someone’s life. At some point we realized, you know, these Naruto characters aren’t really the same anymore. We sort of… created our own characters. Like we were still using the name “Haku” but it wasn’t really the same person.
Then, about two years ago, she randomly wrote up a teaser chapter. The characters were renamed, no more Ky Kiske or Gaara, no more heartless or Netherworld, because those things weren’t those things anymore. Then I added a bit to it. Then we sat down and made an outline. The outline ended up creating seven book ideas. She wrote the first one for NaNoWriMo two years ago, then I read over it and added things/took things out and jazzed it up.
We realized, “Fuck… we have a story here.” So she sent it to publishers.
Now we’re signing a contract with Alpha Wolf Publishing.
And thus became the dorkiest love story ever told. The Hunters series started with us being in a long distance relationship where we would roleplay every night to talk to one another.
To all of you roleplayers, fanfic writers, fan artists, and all that’s in between, here is my message to you. Keep doing what you do. Because you never know what it will turn into. This is what it did for me.
Oh, and “Treat Me Kindly,” the book I’ve written on my own? Use to be a Naruto fic that I never finished. After dissecting the fic I kept the first sentence, one of the original characters I created, and two of the animals.
Reblogging because not all of you follow my writing blog, but I wanted to share :)
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!
This is how I spent part of my weekend! Anime Detour has a charity auction every year and I try to come up with something to put in it. This year is the first year I thought ahead of time ^^;;; J. Michael Tatum will be at the convention and I thought, “What if I woodburned a big picture of Sebastian? And he signed it?” I’ve been emailing the people in charge of the auction and they like the idea!
The burning is done (yay!) and now all that’s left is to have him sign it. The plan is for it to be signed the night before the convention, so it’ll be autographed when its put in the auction on Friday :)
Along with the finished picture is some progress pictures. This was something I started to do on Saturday and finished about half an hour ago ^^
Picture one: All finished, red eyes and all!
Picture two: The start of the project. The picture is sketched onto the wood in pencil, very lightly, in case I had to erase anything.
Picture three: Penciled in the parts that will be woodburned.
Picture four: Started to woodburn, took a picture to show the difference between the woodburn and pencil :)
Picture five: All the burning is done!
This was fun to do and I’m kind of surprised it didn’t take as long as I thought. My poor little woodburning probably hates me, though ^^;;; If you’re going to Anime Detour, be sure to check this out in the auction!
As always, feel free to check out my Etsy store or my DeviantArt :) I haven’t done too many large woodburnings, so I hope this turned out o.k.?
