Decked Out for Deathly Hallows Part II GALLERY!

[cherry_blossom55]

Thanks for the compliments on the cards! Man, they were a lot of work...but I'm so pleased with them and even more pleased at the reception! I'm thinking about selling decks on etsy, but I'd have to get them printed still My package from birdak will be posted momentarily!

So many awesome packages!!!
I'm so jealous or many things, but that Marauders Bag is just wow! I'd love to know how that was done (obviously takes far more talent than i have lol)

Thank you! I'm not a great sewer, so I bought a tote, then stained it with coffee and tea to give it that old yellowy/brown look. Then I used a brown fabric marker to draw on the bag, but I free-handed while looking at a pic that I pulled up on the computer I was going to first use a pencil, but I don't have much patience lol

Aight, so here's a look at all the loot that birdak made for me!

First up, a nice couch-sized pillow in Ravenclaw colours with adorable blue owls


next an embroidery hoop for my office wall to go with the AVPM hoop I got in my last swap. I think it's very pretty and the somewhat messy stitching is very charming. lol


A thrifted blue flower pot that she drew on with (I'm guessing) ceramic pens. The Ravenclaw eagle and "Wit beyond Measure" on either side!



Jewelry! Birdak knows all too well my obsession with earrings so she made me TWO pairs, along with two necklaces~the round bead one was purchased at a craft show




A Ravenclaw tie! I've been looking for a decent one for ages and she found me one and added a little Hogwarts felt patch!


My very own potions kit! All the little jars are filled with loose leaf tea (like I don't have enough lol) and they're packed into this cute little tin that she picked up at Value Village WHILE I WAS THERE under false pretenses of keeping it for herself.



This is more for my cat, but just made aesthetically wonderful in an HP kind of way. A Laser pointer wand!



My letter sealed with a deathly hallows symbol and complete with a lovely drawing of Luna and her patronus on the second page!



Finally, this is me modeling one of three t-shirts that birdak made for me with extra owl cutouts from the pillows. I only have pics of the one because they are all essentially the same but in different colours.


EVERYTHING


Myself and birdak happy with our new HPDH crafty goodness!!

dear god I look stoned, hahaha.

Aplogies~ I don't have the picture, so I'll get her to post it, but my edible was two AMAZING butterbeer cupcakes baked in these super cute (very Weasley-ish) earthware mugs. The frosting was just about the best thing ever. Seriously. We are going to make a regular cupcake version (in paper liners rather than mugs) for our premier party

Thanks for a great swap!

Awesome work, as usual, cherry_blossom55!  You rock.  Seriously.

And love the hoop, birdak!!!  That riddle (and Luna's answer) is one of my fave lines from the book.

Yay HP!!!

Thanks abbeeroad! Can't wait to see what you made this time around! I love the riddle too and the hoop looks awesome with the hoop you made me because everything about them was done differently so it keeps the display really interesting!

I have to agree that those playing cards are amazing! I would love to have a deck! And I really love that Ravenclaw owl pillow. So cute!
