If this isn’t a labor of love, I don’t know what is. I had a goal: to reproduce the Fallout: New Vegas snow globes in real life. I went into this completely blind, having to develop my own methods and figure out my materials. And there was failure. My god was there failure. Some of you may remember my initial giddy post well over a year ago. I thought it was ready; things really seemed to be coming together. I was wrong, my god was I wrong. First I had ink issues. Then I had material problems. Then I had production issues. Then I had sealant issues. Nothing says failure like a cardboard box full of dud snow globes. But that’s all behind me now. No more running ink. No more warped pieces. No more free floating innards. Victory is mine.

May I present the Good Springs and Mormon Fort snow globes from Fallout: New Vegas.

Finally figured out how to make a hoodie, so I went ahead and made a White Mage Capelet. I think it turned out pretty cool in the end. ^_^


White Mage Capelet

I’ve decided to break away from yarn for a little bit and try my hand at tshirt designs. I think they turned out pretty well for a person who hasn’t drawn for a few years. The only problem is Photoshop put a bunch of artifacts around some of the pictures even thought I told it not to. Thank you Adobe for being so "useful."

These are currently available for sale at RedBubble if you are interested in purchasing one. Artifact free of course.

It's been in the works since February, but I finally have it finished. This is the Pac Man scarf that I basically made 4 versions of in 1 day and figured out which one I liked the best. Yes, I ate my Wheaties that day because I usually can't make 4 scarves in 1 day without feeling like hell on the next. The original versions didn't have the ghosts on them and just had Pac Man, the power pellets, and the cherries in different places on each version. I thought the scarf looked fine without the ghosts so they were added last minute under protest. My favorite parts about this scarf are how it has the look of part of the level with the blue at the top and bottom and the cherries at the end. I really like how the cherries turned out, especially since they give a 3D effect without looking too weird. And now, on to my next project.

Woot! Spring break! I had a couple of things I wanted to try when I had some free time and it's now or never. One of them is finished; I made a scarf that lets you stay warm wrapped in Yoshi's long, red tongue (keep your pervy comments to yourself, thank you).


Jesus Christ, it's trying to eat me!

Unlike almost every other thing I've tried to make from scratch, this one came out perfect on the first try! For those of you who've never worked with yarn, it's like getting The Sword of Kings from Starman Super on the first try.



The tongue is crazy long at over 72". I couldn't get a good shot of it fully extended, so I had to curl it up a bit. I considered putting something on the end of the tongue, but felt it looked better bare.

In closing: *Spring-Ha!*
