To the six people to whom this will be relevant, welcome. To the rest, there is a Canadian SF/Horror show (really, it defies description) called Todd and the Book of Pure Evil. DH and I always like to take something to our local SF con for the model show and the Book of Pure Evil seemed a good choice this year



The base is a hollow book shaped box we found at Michael's, and the rest is polymer clay, podgy, plaster & paint. Just like the real Book of Pure Evil, the pentagram lights up in a sinister manner.

Thanks for looking.

The Big Bad on Doctor Who this season is The Silence. This t-shirt begged to be made.



It is for my local SF con this coming weekend.

I haven't posted in ages, though I have been working on a bunch of little things, mostly historically themed, just playing with a bunch of techniques.

Here's a couple of shields (I was on a sword and shield kick for a while there).


I also like making fake artifacts. Here is a viking carved bone & a medieval tile fragment.


Dragons aren't specifically historical, and this one looks kind of bored.


And finally my little castle keep.
Thanks for looking.

Just wanted to remind everyone that this is this weekend. Should be lots of fun.

rec'd from bobbinalong yesterday, a large tube with a distinctly science fiction & steampunk theme


Here is everything. I can't believe she fit it all in there. Here are a few highlights

On the outside of the tube was this little USS Enterprise made of parts of a floppy disc. So cute


Plus there was a Tardis needlebook


And this gorgeous steampunk pin


There was also a tiny Stargate magnet which is downstairs on my fridge.

Thanks bobbinalong. I love everything!!

Here's what I received from aquiescent



My funky little ebook reader case, a cross stitch of Terry Pratchett's Death, and a character journal for all the books I DO read.
Thanks aquiescent. I love it. I hope your stuff arrives soon (I knew I should have trusted public transit instead of Canada Post)

Okay, it isn't very impressive skills-wise, but this counts as the largest thing I have ever knitted. Plus, though I knit quite a bit, I have never posted on this board before. At xmas my niece asked me for a Harry Potter Scarf, for the final movie coming out this summer & she wanted Gryffindor, so here it is.



It's 11 feet long, plus tassels. I have enough yarn left to knit quite a few accessories though I think in July she'll be sufficiently warm in this.

Since I am a little busy to do something specific at the moment, I have raided my stash of unframed needlework & come up with these.

The Fab 2


The penny is included for size reference, but these would all make decent small notebook covers or framed pieces. I will now rush over to post them on Crafts for Japan. I also have larger pieces. If anyone would be interested in a large art deco pastel sampler, let me know.

Well, it's not very Japanese, but here is my dragon tin.

Polymer clay on, well, tin.
The bright blue wasn't very well thought out, but I was extremely happy with the dragon.
It looks huge there, but it's about the size of a CD and a couple of inches high.

I haven't seen an Altoid tin swap in a while & I just wondered if anyone was up for a book related one?
