I have been so busy with school, I haven't worked on any of my projects for a month! This week I used all of my spare time working on art in a frenzy to get some work done. I finished my Atom Bot paper cut. I like how it looks, but I think I'm going to remake it with layers of colored paper, like a paper collage. I also got a spiffy wood burning tool, and practicing my Gallifreyan on some wood disks I'm going to turn into pendants for my friends. And I drew Applejack from My Little Ponies. I've been planning a costume for Midoricon. I am not a seamstress, and only have experience patching holes, but I might as well start somewhere. I'm making a Black Mage costume from Final Fantasy 14. Its the new version that is actually black rather than blue and yellow. You can see the reference image below. I decided to go with this costume because it looks shabby and intentionally imperfect. I raided the local Goodwill for clothes I could tear apart and refashion for this costume. I found some really interesting fabric textures, and it was really easy to find lots of black clothing. I have not figured out what I am going to do for the pants yet, but I did find a floor length plain black dress that I can turn into the coat. Yay! To go with my costume I've sculpted Gurdy the Moogle from FF12. All that is left is for me to make her teeny tiny clothes, add fur to her ears and paint her eyes. Then I'll be able to glue her ears and wings into place. The last thing I've worked on are some new minipets for Star Fall Hollow. I won't share them all with you. I want there to be some surprises, so here 1 of my favorites. It is really hard to resist the impulse to show them all off.

Two years ago, I got into paper cutting. I really loved it, though it gave me some serious hand cramp. This was my most popular piece. The story of Snow White. I just started back into paper cutting this week. I got a new craft knife with a rubber handle, since my old knife broke. I'll be posting pictures of my work in progress. Until then, here are a few other paper cuts I made two years ago.
