How I’ve been spending my weekend. Also known as, “That moment when you have three cons (so far) in the span of four months.”
Yeeeeeeeeeeeah!
So Anime Milwaukee is over Valentine’s Day weekend, so this new piece is finished just in time. The many loves of Harley Quinn! The first picture is the finished woodburning before I added any color. Then with the realization of this being Harley’s loves and the con being over Valentine’s Day, the second picture now has a bit of color: white, red, and pink <3
Huzzah! Here are all of the art pieces I’ll be putting in the art show at Daisho Con. Long live crafty geekiness. If they don’t sell in the show I’ll have them either:
1. Available on my Etsy page
2. Available at the Holiday Geek Expo here in Minneapolis in December
Sailor Moon, Attack on Titan, Black Butler, and Harley/Ivy. Yeah because I’m an all around geek like that <3
Filed under projects I should not attempt the week of a con after finishing other projects. The Black Butler mirror is making progress, all that’s left is adding the silhouette of Ciel and Sebastian. Debating on adding the title but I’m thinking no, and letting the picture speak for itself.
This entire thing was hand painted, I used dry erase marker on one side to do the lines, then painted it from the other side and wiped the marker off. It actually took longer than the Sailor Moon mirror omg why do I do these things? However, it will be done in time for Daisho, yay!
This was found in a store because it was part of what I assume was a broken cabinet set, or something? Yeah leave it to me to look at it and think, “I wanna paint that 2 days before a con for the art show whoo!”
Here it is! The progress pictures of the Sailor Moon mirror leading up to the final product at the end. Thanks so much everyone for the great response <3 I can’t wait to bring this to Daisho Con and put it in the art show, now I just need to figure out what to set the price at, lol.
This was a lot of fun to do. I’ve had this mirror sitting in my closet for years and wanted to do something with it. With the return of Sailor Moon the answer was clear :) If you click on each picture there’s comments on how each part was done.
If you’re going to Daisho, see you there!
***I’m sorry, for some reason the links don’t save right so it doesn’t go to a new window :( I blame my lack of sleep*
This post is also known as “why do I take on crazy projects the week of a con?” I plan on having a full set of progress pictures when this is completely done, but this is the progress I made today. Started with the blanket mirror, sketched Sailor Moon in dry erase marker so it could be wiped off the glass easily, then handpainted her and added stars :)
All that’s left to do is the symbols on the round parts. The inner and outer scouts (8 circles), Chibi Moon (1 circle), Sailor Starlights (1 circle because they have the same symbol), Tuxedo Mask (1 circle), and Sailor Moon’s locket (1 circle).
This will be in the art show at Daisho this weekend, along with some more nifty things, including a Black Butler mirror and a set of Attack on Titan woodburnings. Gonna finish all the crazy things *__*
Whee art!
Oh lord I finished all of this in one day. CONvergence is this weekend, and I made some new things to put in the art show. I figured, I should give it a shot, and hopefully people like it enough to bid on it :)
The first picture is of a large woodburning/painting of the tardis. The tardis itself is woodburned, and the words on the sign are actually legible! Everything else is painted to look like it’s flying through space.
The second picture is of a 10 piece coaster set for Game of Thrones of all of the house symbols.
If you’re going to CONvergence, feel free to check out the art show for items like this from me ^^
Two more clocks done for Anime Central! This must be what it means to be on a roll?
First, there’s the DBZ clock. The outside edge is painted to look like the dragon, with six dragon balls inside and the 4-star ball on the second hand, so it goes around the clock (thank you DBZ abridged for continuously reminding me about how much I love this series). The second clock is Fluttershy, done in an outline style, with her cutie mark on the side. She’s the pony that gets asked about the most as far as pony clocks go, but I never remember to make one. Now I did, yay!
This brings the clock total up to nine for the table. I hope to surpass that number by the time the weekend is here and we head out for Chicago (going to stay with my dad before the con ^^)
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 :)
