Completed Craft Projects

Here you go, the long awaited crafting post!! Wow I have had a lot of off topic posts this week but I just wanted to share some fun projects that I have been working on lately.  They are the ones (other than house work) that take me away from my reading and writing!



Scherenschnitte
For those of you who don't know what that is it's a form of paper cutting.  The images are hand cut (I use a combination of xacto knife & tiny sharp scissors.  I then usually glue them onto either a background paper for framing or make cards or bookmarks.

These are the two card sets that I have been working on recently (shameless plug - both sets are for sale).  I do have a couple more projects I am working on and hope to finish while on vacation.


Red Panda Card Set


White Panda Card Set


And here are some close up pictures of the pandas





Custom My Little Ponies
Most of you know about my little obsession with these plastic ponies.  I (along with many other artist) have taken to taking ponies and creating something entirely new using paints, sculpting clays, nylon hair and whatever else strikes my fancy.

Bracken is a persona for a member of the mlparena

This girl was a project between a close friend of mine and myself,
she did the symbol and eyes & I dyed the hair and rehaired her.



 Dillies is a persona for another member of the mlparena


Emuel is also the persona of a mlparena member


Snow Cap was made for an animal based swap on the mlparena
my partner requested a snow leopard


Pearlized Baby Squirmy was made for another mlparena member who loves
the original G1 Baby Squirmy

Olivia was made for a friend of mine who just had a baby girl
She matches the nursery with her colors and dragonflies
