One Tiny Thing Miyazaki Swap Gallery!

[Rousseline]

I cannot decide which one I love most between the journal and the bookmark!

She really didn't have a choice to make something kodama-themed!

If there is another swap of this in the summer I will be all over it! I love Ghibli (I did a college project on Studio Ghibli that meant my homework was watching as many of their movies as I could).

That's a nice project, it must have been so much fun! It sounds even better than the one I did which was an analysis of the Harry Potter 2 movie!

Ehehe!  Since it looked like resizing was the only option and I was clueless, I waited for a day when I'd actually have plenty of time to sit down and figure it out (luckily I got sick...hah).  But first I gave uploading one more shot...and it worked (in spite of the file size - 4.9 MB)!!  Citizens of Craftster, keep cheating the system!!  Hahah

The first thing I pulled out of my package was this little guy.

It's the little crow from Spirited Away!  His feet are pipe cleaners and they look connected or something in the photo but that's just cause I was bending them a little to make him stand up straight (they were flattened up against his body to fit in the envelope nicely).  He is suuuuper cute!!  Probably about a 3-inch wingspan...so pretty accurate to size, heehee

For some crazy reason my partner wasn't 100% pleased with him, so I also got a Calcifer magnet:

Sorry the pic's a little blurry >.< Calcifer is one of my all-time favorite characters.  Not just in Miyazaki films but ever, heheh.

And this super cute Totoro stamp!!!  I forgot to take a picture before trying it out >.<  Oops.  You can't see some of the detail in the stamp when he's covered in ink, but she scratched some details in that add a little dimension and it looks great!  I never would've thought to use craft foam to make a stamp...very clever!
Unfortunately, one of his eyes fell off, but it's no big deal to just dot one on


Thanks slovakiasteph!!!

The awesome stuff just keep coming. That journal is so pretty.

By the way, an easy way to resize pictures (if you're using windows) is to open your picture in microsoft office picture manager, click the button 'edit pictures' at the top, then click 'resize' on the menu one the right. The right menu will change to the resize menu and there's a dropdown menu for predefined width x height and you can pick a size. Either web-large or web-small is a decent size for online posting. Hope this helps.

Ahh, the little crow just didn't turn out how I'd imagined him.  One of the problems of crafting.

Did you look in the envelope for Totoro's other eye?  Sorry it fell off!  Should've used different glue, I guess!  I'd never made foam stamps before this swap.

Glad you like, though!

[Rousseline]

Yay, I'm so happy you succeded in uploading pictures mclied!! (I'm kinda worried about the next time I'll have to upload, let's hope it works!)

And the package is so cute, I really like the stamp, even with only one eye!

Hurray!  Got my package from thelastkodama today!!

First, the obligatory box shot... so cute!!!



Oooh, pretties:



Kawaii!!!  It's a Coal Sprite Moble!!! It even has the little Stars they eat:



Closeup of the hungry coal sprite eyeing the star candy:



That's my favorite scene in Spirited Away, and the mobile is perfect for my house!  She even included extra of the candies and I love the postcard!

Thank you for a great swap!

[mclied]

ZOMG I love the coal sprite mobile!!  Those little guys are so cute!!

Slovakiasteph, I did, but I didn't find it...I suspect it's stuck to the bubble wrap or that it fell off as I pulled it out.  No worries, it's still adorable
