Book progress! The cover is done, then the inside is halfway done. The second picture is the top part of the open book, then the other picture will be the third picture :)
That crazy mirror I started? FINISHED! Here is a collage of the progress, from a couple of red squares to the end product. Man, oh man, this was a pain in the ass fun to make :)
Progress picture time! (again) When going to the fabric store, I discovered wooden books on clearance. I’ve never seen them since then, and I debated with myself on what to put on them. After seeing the first episode of My Little Pony, I knew :)
The outside is woodburned (still need to finish it) and the inside was going to be colored pencil, but I’m going to paint it instead (but woodburn the pony inside). Hopefully should be done tonight ^^
I’m not sure what to sell it as, though. Any thoughts? I was thinking like a jewelry box or something?
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?
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!
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 :)
Another mirror in progress before I go back and finish Adachi. This idea sprung in my head in the middle of being half awake ^^;;; The lines on the mirror that create the grid had to be drawn on by me first so I could paint the squares as close to perfect as I could. Can you guess what it is so far?
Progress picture number two (because for some strange reason I actually like how something I’m making is turning out). I still need to paint his eyes yellow, and I think I’m going to try and make the red parts of Magatsu Inaba a bit… I dunno the word for it, like, kinda fuzzy? Static like? I’ll probably have it finished when I come home from work, then I need to start doing Adachi on the second mirror to match :) is a smiley face really appropriate for this?!
