Progress pictures of woodburnings that will be available for Anime Central. First is Death the Kid from Soul Eater as a big woodburning piece. The second is two Game of Thrones coasters, I hope to have all of the houses done for Anime Central along with the Hunger Games, too. Last, but not least, is Superman, since I’ve kind of been geeking out over him lately thanks to Injustice and the upcoming “Man of Steel.” Batman has always been my favorite, but lately…
For Anime Central I’m trying to have as much woodburnings as I can, but Detour kind of wiped me out since I sold over 70 coasters out of the 100 I had. We’ll see how this goes :)
OMG! Last woodburning done before the weekend! Cowboy Bebop, man, where do I begin? Despite how many times Cartoon Network has played this (are they still playing it?) I still have so much love for this series. I thought a cool, silhouette of Faye Valentine would be great for a last big woodburning for Anime Detour. If I magically have time left in the next two weeks I might do another big burning, but I doubt that I will, so Faye is the last one for this con :)
Picture one: All finished! White smoke and all!
Picture two: Beginning sketch
Picture three: Woodburned, minus white smoke.
See you in space, cowboy! Or rather, see you at Anime Detour ^^
*exhausted breath* O.K. This is the last progress picture, the next picture will have ALL OF THEM WOODBURNED! But this is ALL of the tarot cards in the arcana for Persona 3 and Persona 4. This includes the extras, like Adachi for example and the face on the back of the cards. There are only 8 more left to burn *happy dance*
This whole set will be at Anime Detour in a couple of weeks :)
Hey guys! Remember this crazy project? It’s almost done! I’m sketching the very last tarot card right now! I hope to have the entire set done by the end of the week :) This set includes the arcana in Arena, in just… well, everything Persona 3 and Persona 4 ^^
I’m debating on whether or not I should have one last card with the image that’s on the back of the cards. This one right here.
The entire set will be at Anime Detour in a few weeks. I think, maaaaybe, whatever sells I want to try and remake for Anime Central. I might change my mind since this entire project has been insane ^^;; The coasters can be purchased individually since I don’t expect anyone to be crazy enough to buy all of them.
Thoughts on having the face as a card to go with it? Thoughts on the project as a whole?
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.?

So here’s a small preview of a long range project I’m dinking around with whenever I need a break from everything else. I’m designing a set of Disney inspired tarot cards with all female characters. Ideally I’d like to eventually quilt this and make a blanket and maybe prints of the individual cards. I’m open to ideas.
For the preview we have Alice as The Fool, Pocahontas as The Magician, Esmeralda as the High Priestess and Wendy as The Empress. I did go through the major arcana and studied the meanings to pick which character fit as which, so it could eventually become an actual usable deck if i wanted.
Look at! My babe is doing tarot stuffs!

O.K. I got terribly distracted with writing and things so I haven’t worked on this in a while, but with Anime Detour coming up soon it’s back to crafting I go :) The insane woodburned coaster project commences!
The goal is to get the arcana from Persona 4 (and technically Persona 3) and Persona 4 Golden done in time for the convention (hence why some numbers repeat, like how Souji and Adachi have the 0 slot, ect.) There’s only 4 left to sketch: The Devil, The Sun, the Moon, and the World (I believe that’s what it’s called?) Then I might do the back of the card as one since I like the way it looks. So 25 (+1) coasters.
^^;;;
I’ll be selling these individually since I don’t really expect anyone to buy all of them at once, lol, but Detour is April 19th, so I hope to have a finished picture posted by then of ALL of them.
The two pictures here are the coasters so far. Ten are woodburned and done, the others sketched (since I sketch the image in pencil first then burn over it, everything is done by hand). To think, this started with the Magician as a test… now it’s pretty out of control!
So um… enjoy?
For the kids like me who get up way early in the morning for work, here’s the progress picture for the tarot set again :)

Since everyone seems to like the woodburned tarot cards (thanks for the love btw!), I thought it would be cool to show the starting point. I sketch the image on the wood with a pencil before burning it, so it basically… looks pretty plain ^^;;;
I’ve been woodburning for like… two years now, I think? I saw some really ridiculous amazing burnings at a convention once and one day, while on the way to the craft store, I thought, “I wonder if they have a woodburner.” I figured that the method had to be something like, sketching the image then just burning it on there. Over the years I started figuring out ways to do shading, how to make it darker or lighter depending on how much pressure I was applying, stuff like that.
Come to find out there’s burners you can buy with settings that change the heat, lol! ^^;;;
