So once I started making tiny dragons I knew I needed to make the dragon Harry faced in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I even looked through the book to make sure I got the colors right because she looks different in the movie. I may make another that is curled up like the model one in the book does, but I couldn’t … Continue reading Clay Hungarian Horntail
I have to admit that I didn’t have a lot of hope for this cover. I think I looked for a hitch hacker image for 2 days and who knew there was a really good image of a cloud angel on Thinkstock. I really love how this turned out and how beautifully the two images blend together, I even like the back cover, I don’t … Continue reading Cover Design – Adventures with Angels
I just love how this whole design turned out. I believe the author chose the image but I love the typography, the colors, and the way the back cover turned out. It’s not often I get a project where everything balances out so perfectly, this is the kind of design I live for. Continue reading Cover Design Porch Swings and Prayer
I love this cover. The author was very specific about what they wanted, 2 girls, glowing ball, both holding it, they even picked the image. I was able to take the image they found of one red headed young woman holding a glowing ball of fire, reverse her, move their hands around so it wasn’t a perfect mirror image, replaced the glowing fire in her … Continue reading Cover Design The Witches of Inner Peace
Cricket is first and foremost a cuddler, and should be the picture next to Lap Dog in the dictionary. If there is a lap anywhere she must be in it… Okay that might be taking it a little far, if it is a lap she knows she must be in it. It’s the only way she gets anywhere near my dad, which works for them … Continue reading My Crafting Buddy
Another set of Mockups! I usually like these more than full designes because I get to be more creative with them in general. Also they are made after talking to the authors so I have a better idea of what they are wanting and there is a lot less guess work and trying to match something specific. In this case the author sent in a … Continue reading Cover Mockups – Dream It, Believe It, Deserve It
I think I’ve finally worked through the worst of my new endeavor so I can go back to working on other things too. I’m a little obsessed with polymer clay, it’s so much more fun and way less messy than fondant, who knew. These little fairy houses were made on top of those little glass pebbles you are supposed to use in fish tanks and … Continue reading Fairy houses
I loved working on these, mostly because I got to look up pictures of dogs, that’s always a good day. The author ended up going with the third mockup with the sunrise. Continue reading Cover Mockups Dog is God Spelled Backward
I used this tutorial to make this cute little guy. The one in the tutorial is so much better but I wanted to practice with white before I tried to make a Hello Kitty thing for one of my friends. I still need a lot more practice, poor little unicorn is covered in dirt and finger prints. I’ll get it one of these days. I also … Continue reading Clay Unicorn
It’s so tiny!!!! I think next time I need to put a wire all the way through him. He got a little top heavy and totally bent over the first time I tried to bake him. It’s all a learning process that’s for sure. Continue reading Tiny Baby Groot
