Korokin’
Thursday, February 12th, 2009
Continuing the late-posting-of-awesome-presents trend, I present these ultra excellent sculpts Steph created of the Korok from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. That game has everything: a dragon boat, a great soundtrack, and pirates.  Steph is kind of like that. She photographs, sculpts, paints, writes and a million other things. Oh, and she’s a [...]

Gifts from Danielle
Monday, February 9th, 2009
I met Danielle through our mutual obsession with alethiometers. It has been absolutely amazing to watch this young lady’s talent blossom. This Christmas she sent me a package full of mysterious artifacts from her travels through space and time. As a shameless plug, you should definitely check out her Etsy shop (which hopefully will be [...]

Of Mysterious Boxes
Thursday, January 22nd, 2009
A while back, a bunch of lucky individuals who blog like the dickens about Neil Gaiman received mysterious boxes filled with all kinds of goodies related to the movie Coraline.
I’m no stranger to the concept of mystery boxes having received and made (and currently making) some of my own. However, I’m in awe of [...]

My infinitely cooler-than-me friend Tim sent me this awesome Comicon-only miniature version of the uber-expensive Goliathon 83 Infinity Beam Projector Raygun (part of the Dr. Grordbort collection). What makes it even cooler is that he had the raygun’s designer, Greg Broadmore, sign the box!
Although lacking in the glass details of the original, the [...]

Coming Out of Retirement
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008
I’ve certainly been lax in both posting and creating. I did take a pretty darn fantastic plein air painting class (guaranteed to be the next big art thing — oh wait. . . I may be a few centuries too late). I also completed a project that has a little something to [...]

Brown paper packages tied up with string . . .
Monday, February 4th, 2008
Yes, I’ve been a posting slacker. What makes it even worst yet is that I’ve had so many wonderful things to post about that my blog should be chock-a-bloc with new posts and pages.  Fear not dear reader, I am back in the swing of things and shall rectify the damages immediately. [...]

Here comes Santa Claus
Tuesday, December 19th, 2006
I was part of a Secret Santa exchange over at the HarryPotterCrafts group. Check out the cool gifts I received!
First of all, the packaging was awesome! I love the Owl gift card! Of course, the bows were silver and green . . . wonder what Jenn’s favorite house is?
On to the unwrapping [...]

Blatant Plug Part Two: A package from Mr. Weasley
Wednesday, November 15th, 2006
I can’t believe it didn’t sell, so I’m offering it yet again! As seen here, I’m offering one of my custom-packaged wands for sale on eBay. This time it’s from that loveable goofball Ron. I’m really excited about doing the letter for this one — lots of mispellings and scratched out words [...]

A Package from Ms. Granger
Thursday, November 9th, 2006
As promised, I finally uploaded pictures of my Hermione Granger wand package. This was probably the most difficult wand package to do, as I decided Hermione’s handwriting (and grammar) needed to be perfect and precise.Â
The letter was written in Word and then hand-written on stationary (about five times). I really enjoyed “getting [...]

Blatant plug: A Package from Mr. Weasley
Wednesday, November 8th, 2006
As seen here, I’m offering one of my custom-packaged wands for sale on eBay. This time it’s from that loveable goofball Ron. I’m really excited about doing the letter for this one — lots of mispellings and scratched out words coupled with some “Go Chudley Cannons!” scribblings.
I did receive pictures of the girl [...]
