Somehow, I have 62 followers, what the heck?! Um… thanks for all the love, everyone, for my crafty things and random ramblings about my geekery. Um… have a random picture of me doing cosplay, because… I dunno? It’s sort of a look at who I am, I suppose. I’m kind of shy about posting pictures of myself, especially costume pictures. My partner makes all of my costumes
So… yeah, that’s me, um… doing Princess Peach cosplay… *runs away in embarrassment* Don’t chase after me, just let me hide in shyness, o.k.?
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 :)
If Mario were Captain America, this would be his shield. Crossover madness! Got this idea really, really early in the morning (or really late in the evening, whichever you prefer). It’ll be for sale at Anime Iowa in a couple of weeks. I’m trying to think of other random superhero crossovers like this, any thoughts? I’m already doing Green Lantern/Yoshi next, any more?
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).

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 :)
It’s a me. MAR-I-O. Clock ^^ I have a ton of Mario things I’ve made but I thought I would start with this clock. I tried a lot of new things with this one. The paintings on the shell of the clock. The tiny Mario on the second hand that moves around the clock as it ticks. Painting “MARIO” on the glass of the clock. I would love to do something like painting a level around the clock or a question block with a brick pattern on the shell…
… oh god why did I just say that -_- *holds the muses back*
