Three Grell coasters I’ve made. The first two are part of the “Born This Way” series I have going, which can be seen here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/99962739/born-this-way-custom-coaster-you-pick and the last one is actually the very first Grell coaster I made, before I discovered the wonders of red paint. I mean… why wouldn't I want to splash something Grell related in red :)
Everything I make can be commissioned, you can send me a note here or check out the store linked above. The coasters have a protective coating on them to make them safe to use.
Shadow coasters! Shadow Kanji and Shadow Naoto are, by far, my two favorite shadows in Persona 4. Not just because of my feelings for the two characters, but because of how interesting I thought both of them were.
Shadow Kanji’s coaster actually says, “Born this Way, so GET BENT,” because it’s part of my “Born This Way” set seen here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/99962739/born-this-way-custom-coaster-you-pick on top of the whole “thug with a soft spot” the whole sexuality thing was thrown in there, too, which just added an entirely different, and interesting, dynamic. I thought it was really powerful when his shadow was like, “I just want to be accepted."
With Shadow Naoto, I really, really like how the anime did that whole scene. That shadow seemed to get really uncomfortably close and pretty much drove Naoto to break down, which I loved, because that’s what the shadows are supposed to do, right? Force you to face something you don’t want to admit to. Not to mention that she had to face her shadow alone (everyone else was outside the door, watching from T.V. screens, which added to the, "I don’t want to be alone,” vibe)
And thus, coasters :)
And now back to our regularly scheduled crafting. Persona 4 fandom, let’s go back to love and happiness! Give me your hearts! I’m beary serious!
All right, bear puns aside, this is another coaster I recently made :) Inspired by, well, beauty pageant Teddie and one of the win poses from Persona 4 arena, this coaster was born. As always, all coasters have a protective coating on them to make them completely usable :)
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 -_-
And now… Death Note! I love this series so much and have made so many things from it (this isn’t all of it, just a couple of examples to wet your whistle ^^) I think the mirror was the first thing I’ve ever made, and the coasters are the most recent. As always, I will happily take commissions, and I promise not to write them down in my Death Note (that’s a bad attempt at a joke at 1 in the morning ^^;;;)
One of my favorite things about Batman: The Animated Series is Harley Quinn. What a wonderful creation, she was! I love making Harley Quinn things, so I always have something with her on it at the conventions I go to.
The first mirror is the first Harley Quinn mirror I’ve ever made. I had a lot of fun with it, defacing it with all the love Harley has for her puddin’ ^^ Harley herself, in the first mirror, is woodburned onto it.
The second mirror is a recent one, using the dark wood one to be the dark parts of her outfit with the other parts painted :)
If anyone is interested in having a little Harley in their life, let me know ^^
Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji coasters of twuuuuuu wuvvvvv! The first is Sebastian x Grell, you know, in Grell’s POV ^^ The second is Sebastian x kitten, you know, in Sebastian’s POV ^^ Both are woodburned and painted by me :)
When I discovered heart shaped coasters I had to put amazing couples on them, and what’s more amazing than kittens?! As always, I take commissions on everything, and <3 coasters are, well… full of <3
Big Undertaker woodburning :) I absolutely love the Undertaker, particularly in the manga and more recent chapters. A friend of mine had mentioned doing a big woodburning of him and I foolishly accepted the challenge.
The picture is sketched onto the wood first, then burned. This is when I played with shading the most, I think, since the Undertaker is burned darker and his hair is shaded, ect. ect. The ribbon and flowers are painted, to try and make them stand out more. This is actually available for purchase, though the attention it gets at conventions is pretty nice ^^
And now time for some Zelda! When I walked into the craft store and saw these shields I KNEW what I had to do. I want to do more shields from Zelda, but this is the first one I got done… then proceeded to have another idea halfway through, so I’ll probably be remaking this one ^^;;;
For the woodburnings, in case anyone is curious anyone? Hello? I sketched on the wood first then I burn over the sketch :) It’s been a lot of trial and error as, in the beginning, I would sketch it too dark so sometimes faint pencil marks would be there. I think I’m getting better now, though (or at least have a better eraser, lol)
It’s time for some Dr. Who! Well, the tardis at least. The big woodburning is recent, something I wanted to do after making the small coaster. It’s hard to see in the picture, but the words are legible in the big burning :)
