Anyhow, a lot of my art can be seen at my DeviantArt gallery

More news is i finally finished my first for sale texture set! Available at Fantasies Realm Market I'll post more on this in a bit.

More news? Oh well... I've been made Promotional Artistry Coordinator at Fantasy Realms... my job to organize people to make promo images and promotional renders for products in store. (Interested? Email me)

Last news is my lil one is turning 5 in less than a month... Goddess how the time flies! I created her invitations- i'll post a sample here as soon as i get them ordered.

Advancing in my 3D art, i decided to do customized christmas cards for friends and family this year! This is what they look like! Ordered through Shutterfly (obviously!) bc they had best pricing!

WHOA! Been over a year??

2010-10-01T10:07:00.000-07:00

Wow i have been slacking! Its not that i haven't done any crafts.. anyone who knows me knows i'm sort of a hoarder when it comes to doing arts and crafts!

I've done a few crafts, but mostly i've started learning about digital art and 3D modeling. I'll post some pics up here, but they will have watermarks across the front. If you're interested in any of my work as a desktop background, just send me a message and i can send you the right size file :)

Goddess design on box

2009-03-24T07:14:00.000-07:00

I made this for my latest swap partner! She likes black and red and collects rocks, gems, and spheres of all types and sizes. The box hold together with magnets on the inside- the strongest i could find!

I am so happy about how this came out! My sister even asked for one of her own!!

enjoy!

Elmo Birthday Cake

2008-12-24T21:36:00.000-08:00

I used a wilton shaped cake pan to make this cake for my daughter's 2nd birthday party. The hardest part (and only part i even had to work for) was icing the cake. I made the cake and the icing from scratch and dyed the icing to the colors i needed.

Birthday Dress Completion

2008-12-24T21:20:00.000-08:00

So i ended up redoing the birthday dress- i messed up the fasteners and just about gave up until i realized there was nothing cute enough in the stores- so i hunkered down and made her dress... again... lol

Thanks for looking.

Daughter's 2nd Birthday Dress

2008-11-28T15:28:00.000-08:00

So its not quite completed- i still need to sew on the zipper and hem the bottom (taffeta shreds horribly!!) My mom is going to crochet a cardigan for her

So like i said its Taffeta- periwinkle blue. The bodice is lined with white costume satin and the skirt is lined with white netting (i also need to line the netting - i wasn't going to until i realized how high up it was and that tights wouldn't completely protect her skin)

She's so tiny i had to do size 1 and still need to take it in about 2 inches! These photos have the bodice already pinned lol

Front View:

When its all done i will post more pictures :)

Blessings, Tina

Blue Chalcedony & Shell Pendant necklace

2008-11-09T20:08:00.000-08:00

I made this piece for a swap on craftster.com I hope she likes it, because i am in love with it. The swap is about the elements and water is not her favorite element (shes an earth sign and says earth and water makes mud lol), but this combines earth and water- the metal floral on the shell represents the earth in all that water! haha

Close up of the pendant

In its entirety

I'll post more pics when she gets it- hopefully her camera takes better pictures than mind ;)

New Jewelry

2008-11-09T20:05:00.000-08:00

So my mom learned i was learning to make jewelry and she wanted some earrings... well, i only had 3 of these gold/black beads so i just made a necklace too... Hope she doesn't mind looking like a fancy bumblebee HAHA I got a kit with most of these beads in it- glass square beads and seed beads- i prefer the larger seed beads for the stuff i make.

I also made this bracelet for my daughter. She's 2- we were in michaels and she picked up a pack of amethyst heart beads and a pack of lavender glass beads that she would not give up, so i just said "ok, i'll make you a bracelet. Took a couple of tries- first time she broke it!! Anyway, Here it is all pretty and done!

Blessings,

First Swap

2008-11-06T21:04:00.001-08:00

OK, i am crafting for my first swap on crafster (YAY!) It is a Four Elements Swap where each person creates gifts representing the 4 elements for another person and receives gift in return from that person. I am so excited and already have 3 points done! Woo-hoo! We need a minimum of 8 (small=1pt, medium= 2pts, large=3pts- the size depending on how much is spend on materials as well as how long it took to craft the project. I am dying to post what i have done already, but i can't!! I have so many ideas i can't wait to get going!!

Blessings,
Tina

Owl Necklace

2008-11-05T19:38:00.000-08:00

OK, so on my spiritual journey i've developed an attraction to owls (mostly due to a calling from Athena) and wanted to make myself a necklace with an owl pendant.. it took me a while, but i finally found one i liked- but didn't like it alone so i found this great stone pendant to put with it! so each piece is separate. The colors on the owl and the stone were perfect to use with my stash of rutilated quartz & tigers eye- the pictures do not do this justice! Its night now and my flash is making them worse...

Close up of Stone and Owl

In its entirety (shown on 2 sheets of printer paper)

Here you can see how each pendant is separate

The chain is made up of gold and bronze large glass beads, and rutilated quartz & tiger eye chips

So i have not made much jewelry- only a bracelet for my mom. This is my first large project, and my first jewelry project related to my spirituality. I very much enjoyed crafting it, and will enjoy it even more to wear it tomorrow :)

Blessings,
Tiny

Toddler/Child Apron

2008-10-30T21:19:00.000-07:00

I found this fabric panel at Hobby Lobby and i fell in love with it. (Fabric panels are a pattern printed on a roll, like regular fabric, only instead of a design it is a repeating patter that can be cut out and then put together to make different things- such as aprons, plush books, stuffed turkeys, etc) I also purchased 2 of these in the adult size, one for me and one for my mom- once i told her about the aprons, she wanted one! Both sizes have the recipe for Gingerbread cookies printed on the front of them!

I didn't completely follow directions- i skipped the pocket and didn't do the appliques, but i still think its cute. And i don't think the younger ones really need a pocket lol! Also, i added an extra layer of fabric to the back of the bodice of the apron, a dark red marble cotton fabric.

Apron

Back w/extra fabric

Its nice to have one out of what feels like five million projects off of my to-do list! :)

I'll try to get some action shots when my baby wakes up.

As always comments and questions are appreciated! :)

Strawberry Shortcake Blanket

2008-10-19T18:49:00.000-07:00

Non wiccan/pagan craft

Made this blanket for my sick lil princess. Its flannel on one side with quilted backing and batting in between. This was my first quilt-like project, meaning layer sewing and even using the blanket binding. My stitches are horrible, but she's only 2 and once i get better at this i will redo them. I also have extras and i'm going to make a mini version for car trips and such that she can carry around that i will post later.

Zoomed Out:

Zoom in: (but not in enought to see my stitching haha)

Toddler Witch Costume

2008-10-18T07:32:00.000-07:00

So i decided to try my hand at sewing with patterns. I bought one a while back, but thought i would be crazy to try and sew a huge item for my first project. So i bought a simplicity for dummies pattern to make my daughter a dress. The pattern is for a witch's costume, but i plan on using it for any rituals that we attend. This way she knows when she puts the dress on we're doing something special. This is the reason i did not make the hat. i have the supplies, but decided against it. Maybe i will later on, mainly because she keeps stealing my costume hat (a witch for halloween? what a surprise! lol)

So here it is:

bodice close up

So this was my first sewing project EVER completed. So first time gathering, first time pattern, etc etc. I enjoyed it very much and i think i did pretty well. Now to start my other 5 million projects ;)

Handpainted Pentagram

2008-08-07T21:18:00.000-07:00

As i started on my journey into wicca i began playing with this design and came up with this. I once again purchased an unfinished piece of wood, a circle this time. Basica white and black colors. I got the pewter from mixing black and silver. I even painted the element names on the locations.

(I've tried about 5 times, but this keeps uploading sideways, so rotate it to the left for the correct orientation!")
Close up of element words....

Handpainted Treasure/Jewelry Box

2008-08-07T21:09:00.001-07:00

This is my first attempt at this type of project. I purchased this box unfinished from Hobby Lobby and just had some fun. I bought a bunch of scrap fabric a couple of months ago and figured it would look nice as a bottom to the box. To match the design in the fabric, I painted the inside of the box bronze (well, i mixed black and gold paints, so it was close enough)

Welcome
