The Inner Workings of a Chibi.
That moment when…

You’re working on a Jack Frost mirror, you have four of them burned on there, then as you’re looking for reference pictures for Raidou Jack you find like five other ones too.

… sigh  *starts sketching the other ones*  The robot one is kinda cute, though  ^^ 

A coaster to match with these: http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4y28mbFjY1rt1zjto1_500.jpg
Of course now I have the idea of woodburning the actual cards onto blocks, I may try with one of them if I have time ^^

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  :)

Finally finished the next one!  The Magician wineglass now stands next to The Fool ready to take a mortal blow.  I’m not sure which one to make next, but I suddenly find myself needing to get more wineglasses as I keep making things for Anime Iowa (and for our shop in general)  I sort of want to try The Emperor because my love for Kanji is strong but I also like the design of the Hanged Man.  I WILL do Fortune… someday, that design still sort of scares me to try and paint on a glass  ^^;;;

As always, check out the shop here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/snowtigra?ref=si_shop The Magician isn’t posted yet because I just finished it, but it will be soon  :)

Just one this morning, of THAT logo woodburned onto a coaster. I swear, this logo… it’s going to be the death of me but I can’t seem to NOT make things without it on there because I’m so obsessed. One day, I’ll probably make an elaborate wineglass...

Just one this morning, of THAT logo woodburned onto a coaster.  I swear, this logo… it’s going to be the death of me but I can’t seem to NOT make things without it on there because I’m so obsessed.  One day, I’ll probably make an elaborate wineglass then, as I’m painting, curse myself for even trying it  >.<

Anyhow, I wanted to do it in white, because woodburning doesn’t show up too well on black.  And the “Shin Megami Tensei” part is burned around the edge, too.

As always, coasters are always safe to use.  Check out the shop here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/snowtigra?ref=si_shop

This week I need to get back to working on things before going to L.A. for E3, so expect more pictures soon!  (I hope)

More sketches!  So there’s this picture of Yu/Souji and Izanagi, it’s like their faces, side by side, half and half, and it looks really cool.  I’ve made a mirror out of it before (http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1ymkyhHjp1rt1zjto1_500.jpg).  About a month ago I got a commission to do a coaster of Adachi in this style.  Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures >.<

Of course this means that I have to do a set with everyone, including Adachi!

First up is Yu/Souji with his persona and Yosuke with his persona.  Except, instead of using Izanagi, I wanted to use a different persona.  The bestest persona there is.  JACK FROST!  I’ll probably paint him and woodburn Yu/Souji  :)  

Second is Yosuke/Jiraiya, or disco ninja frog  ^^  This will be completely woodburned, but I might paint Jiraiya’s eye and red scarf  ^^

Making progress on the next wineglass.  I still have to paint the base in the design as this one that I did for the first wineglass, “The Fool.” (http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3jx50xQ7y1rt1zjto1_500.jpg)

This one is actually taking longer than planned, at first glance I thought the design wasn’t too complicated, but as I started painting it I realized that wasn’t the case.  Glass paint is pretty thick, so I ended up doing the eyes like… twice, because I didn’t like how they looked the first time.  But I think I got it now  :)  

Which one should I try next, I wonder?  I was going to try “The Hanged Man” I think.  I really wish I could do the whole Investigation Team, but looking at “The Chariot” is a bit terrifying.  

This glass will be available for purchase when it’s done at our shop with “The Fool” (http://www.etsy.com/shop/snowtigra?ref=si_shop) and just like the other glasses, it’s completely usable and washable.  

Oh, by the way, ignore the geekery behind the glass (TV, Xbox, wii, there’s a PS3 somewhere, and the display case of Disney things  ^^;;;)

Of muses and disliking them

Oh sure, the Magician will be easy to paint, no problem, says the muses.  

LIARS!  >.<  

By the way, says the muses, you should take that big block of wood you have and do a woodburning of the end of the second opening to Persona 4, you know, when everyone is standing on the TVs.  It’ll be fun!  

FUCKING LIARS!!!  >.<  

Well you should definitely do something with new, older Naoto on it, they say.  And as soon as they mention her name I’m like, “YES!”  I’m so easy  -_-

Wow

Uh… seeing since the wineglass here has the most hits I’ve had on tumblr (http://brichibi.tumblr.com/post/22443320060/i-suppose-this-works-for-shin-megami-tensei-in) I should go ahead and make more.  Seriously guys, thank you so much!  I was honestly just messing around with an idea and it seems to have worked out great  :)  

This item (and others) are available on my Etsy page, and requests can be made (http://www.etsy.com/shop/snowtigra?ref=si_shop) I think I’m going to try and do the Magician next ^^
