Steampunk Alchemist

Since my husband has gotten me way into playing Magic: the Gathering, I’ve been going overboard on making things for the game.

My EDH (Commander) deck has dragon tokens, so I figured why not make some actual, useful tokens, instead of having to buy token cards or use dice or bits of glass… I finally got to experiment with them today, and they turned out better than I could have hoped for! So now, I have a rainbow of dragons to summon: gold, red, green (which doesn’t show up on the pics as well as IRL), white, blue and black!

Any other fans out there that think these sort of things are fun?

RELEASE THE KITTIES!

It seems like every year, one of my friends gets something handmade for Xmas. This year, Steven was the receiver of one. As a Dethklok fan, I had to do something fun, so why not.

It is “Dethklok home for wayward kitties” with the band below.

The logo was the hardest thing to figure out - I had to work off of the actual logo, and bring it down to as few pixels as possible. Overall, I’m so insanely proud of this, and it was so addicting to do!

That’s why I started (and just finished! Pix soon!) of the Doctor Who pattern I made (find it in a previous post) and am now thinking of what I could do next…

So I’ve been away for quite some time - computer issues, holiday orders, and a sick kitty all added to it.

But, to distract myself at the moment, I’ve been making cross stitch patterns.

I made a Dethklok cross stitch thinger for a friend for the holidays (I’ll post pictures soon!) and now, it’s had me thinking of little pixel figures that I can cross stitch.

This is the one I finished just a few minutes ago. Feel free to use it if you’re into cross stitching - it’s about 175 stitches x maybe 50 or so high? (I suck at these things, so I’m not sure exactly how big it is). The figures was off of a base I worked up for the Dethklok figures, and the lettering was hand-pixeled, because I’m insane like that (actually, I find it cathartic for some reason…)

So, Doctor Who themed! I think I got all of the Doctors as close as I could - I worked off of a combination of photos/screen shots, fan art compilations, and the figure set recently released. Colors are eyeballed - I’m not including a “DCM color code” or something like that, because quite frankly, I find that a little insane. Just go with similar colors you have/pick up/find laying around if you are going to do this. I did grid it out for you, tho :3

I’ll post my pic of this when I’m done with it, as well as the Dethklok one. Tomorrow is back to work (since I now have my laptop back - hooray!)
