*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.?
Anime Detour work station! This is what my living room looks like right now. Look at all of those woodburned and painted coasters. I have at least 72 ready, but these are the ones done this week. So yes, on top of getting the book published is epic crafting for my art table ^^;;;
If you’re going to Anime Detour, check out “Sewn Together Reflections.”
Thanks to the positive response over the coaster I did I thought, “What goes best with a coaster? A glass!” I use to do glass painting a lot, but then the glass paint I used to use was discontinued, so I stopped. Then, a friend got me some glass stuff for my birthday last year, but the glasses kinda sat around because I couldn’t come up with any ideas for them.
Then Rise of the Guardians came out.
Then I discovered new glass paint.
I’m still testing it out, really, since I’ve never baked it on there before. So in the next two days I’ll know if it actually work/can be washed, ect. I figured it was safe to make Guardians, because if it doesn’t work my partner will keep it. If it does work, well, it’ll be at Anime Detour with the coaster ^^
The glass is hand painted and I actually dipped a pencil in the paint to do the snowflakes, just to try and get the lines done properly ^^ I hope everyone enjoys this new Rise of the Guardians glass and coaster set :)

With Anime Detour fast approaching, it’s time to get some woodburned coasters done. Of course, Jack Frost has made an appearance thanks to my obsession love for Rise of the Guardians ^^ I also plan on making some sort of wine glass or goblet or something, hopefully in time for the convention to match the coaster :)
As always, feel free to send me a note if you’re interested in a commission, or you can check out my Etsy page.
So I finished a Young Justice woodburned coaster set this evening :) The main cast from the first season. This set will be at this year’s Anime Detour in a month. It’s convention crunch time, so I’m woodburning things like crazy!
Of course, I do take commissions as well, so feel free to send me a note or check out my Etsy store.
*deep breath*
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 :)
