Mother's Day

In honor of mom.
Who gave me everything.
Who I so often forget to thank.
Who quietly accepts my ingratitude, 
and keeps on giving anyway.
I love you mommy.


Happy Mother's Day.

Crafty: Narnian Jewelry + Socktopus



Who doth linger here? Ah, it beist my dear readers. Welcome, welcome. Come in and rest a while, let us converse in friendship. Perhaps you would lend your ear to my stories? They be tales of great and heroic nature. Tales of faraway lands and talking beasts, of kings and queens and the end of time...


Now, all frivolous speech aside, please allow me to bombard your eyes with my shiny handmade bracelet.










My wrists are perhaps not the most delicate of models, but the jewelry shines just the same. How is it made? I'm glad you asked. 


  • 1 Bronze bezel bracelet base (Found on Etsy.com)
  • 1 Set of five domed glass cabochons  
  • A bottle of Mod Podge
  • Super glue
  • Scissors
To sum it up quickly:
  1. I took photos of the book pages I wanted
  2. Printed them
  3. Traced the outlines of the cabochons around the words I wanted
  4. Cut out the resulting circles
  5. Spread a layer of Mod Podge on the cabochons
  6. Placed the paper circles on top of the Mod Podge layer
  7. Let it dry for five minutes
  8. Added another layer of Mod Podge
  9. Let it dry completely
  10. Super glued the cabochons into place
Done! A bracelet that looks as if it stepped right out of your favorite fairytale! (And brought the story along with it)

As much as I wish I could claim this idea, the genius belongs solely to Adrianne of Happy Hour Projects. You can find her original post here, and bask in her brilliance.

____________________________________________________________

Now, to wrap things up, I'd like to showcase my favorite little octopod. :)



I've already mentioned this fellow in passing, but he is just far too classy not to have some decent attention. However, he wouldn't complain if he was ignored. He's used to being under foot.
...
Because he's a sock.
Yes, I did just stoop that low...
To the ground...
Like a sock.


Again, I can't claim the brain that conceived of the Socktopus. However, I can claim a bit more creativity this time around. I came across a sock-octopus idea on Pinterest, but there was no link to a DIY. So instead I proceeded to: 
  1. Take a sock
  2. Stuff the top
  3. Twist and sew/tie it shut under the bulge
  4. Squish the head into shape
  5. Tie a ribbon or other material for decorative purposes and to cover the messy-looking twist
  6. Cut the bottom of the sock into 8 tentacle strips
  7. Sew button eyes on
Very simple, and very cute. And of course, now you have a use for those lonely old single socks you were going to throw away. (Remember, if you make a socktopus and then find the missing sock match later, you can always just make an octopus couple!)


So that's it for today. 
     God Bless.

Poll Results

So... Remember that poll that closed a while back? The silly, pointless poll that was cool where we all decided we liked cheesecake and that somebody's base are belong to us? Well, the results came in and it seems that everyone favors penguins over other flightless birds. 


Therefore, I drew this penguin. 
His name is Squeaky.

Squeaky loves you.




Remember to watch for the next poll!

Geek Chic: Legends of Equestria

Hay everypony! If you're familiar with the hit television show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, you'll probably know what I'm going to be talking about in this post. If you're not familiar with the show, I feel sorry for you. And, if you're one of those strange ones like my co-author Hunter, who has seen the show and still doesn't like it, I have no idea which wires are tangled in your brain. Love and tolerate.


So, to get to the point. A certain group of Bronies are working on a very large gaming project known as Legends of Equestria. This game will be a child-friendly, completely free-to-play MMO, featuring quests, combat, mini-games, social interaction, ect. ect. ect. and much more. 
Excited yet? You should be! This game looks to have a lot of potential, let's just hope it doesn't crash and burn. You can check out some pre-alpha gameplay footage below. Enjoy!


EXTRA NOTE: According to SweBow ( LoE - Public Relations & Business), the game will be compatible with both Windows and Macintosh computers.




P.S. A Personal message to Hunter.
Yes I am tormenting you with more ponies.
As for the cake being a lie? We shall see.
