Welcome, MommaAquaheart! Now you have "de-lurked." I love the mini-hoopla!

Gr33nT3a, I love the bento, especially the nori cut-out kappa!

Noodle_bug, I want to try that recipe! I'll have to see if our grocery store has any panettone left.

Technicolor, the cupake is adorable. And ErinA, I love the house crest ornaments! I'm tucking that idea away for our Hogwarts Halloween Feast next year!

While watching The goblet of fire on TBS I started drawing a phoenix ...Fell in love with it...and screwed it up when I went over it in ink.    my hand slipped and now theres a thin black line across his wing!....Anybody know a spell that could fix this?

[TechnicolorAquahearts]

you could put a little bit of gesso or white acrylic paint on it or you could add more texture with the ink and disguise it, I do stuff like that all the time when I make my comics.

Ha...I was just typing to try paint...it is great for hiding ink marks...either in white or in colour to brighten it up and create some layers...and the post came up with someone has posted whilst you were typing...ha...same tip...cool, great minds think alike. 

I have been watching the progress of this since last semester and I am finally working on a spell for handing in some homework.  Loving it, having fun, will post photos of them tonight or tomorrow morning....transfig uration takes some practising huh...

Class: Herbology
House: Slytherin
Project Name: Headphones to Earmuffs
Project Page Link: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=418438.0
Brief Description: I found a pair of Muggle "headphones" that had been tossed out. I liked the biohazard emblem on them so I decided that they would make a decent pair of earmuffs.





When I said there was a mishap, I meant that our Chihuahua puppy, Harley, decided to chew up the wire of my sister's headphones. Since they couldn't be repaired, I ripped out the wire and crocheted covers for the ear pieces, thus converting them into one of a kind earmuffs.

Class/Challenge: Potions homework to practice perfecting the shrinking solution
House: Gryffindor
Project Name: Shrinking Solution

Brief Description: (how it fits the requirements, pattern/techniques/recipe used, any fun tips, etc.)
To practice the shrinking solution I first used it on inanimate objects, beginning with a book, which is fairly small to start with, then I progressed to my travel case/chest (actually this was an accident, I spilt some on it as I walked past...must perfect the swelling solution next to fix this issue), then I went on to shrink the TV at home...ha!  still works just very tiny...and then I wanted to do the main event and an animate object...A DRAGON!  So I went outdoors to find me a dragon and came across this lovely common Welsh Green dragon, convinced him to eat a steak I had laced with the shrinking solution and vwala a lovely little dragon that I can now carry around in my pocket!

Hope I pass my assignments... this is fun...hope you don't mind me joining in so late...

Love the earmuffs you made FreakieGeekie, lovely colour too!

[ErinAquaheart]

Wow Foxy! That dragon is super cute AND tiny! I just wanna stick him in my purse forever!

And those earmuffs for herbology, Freakie, are great!

Project Name: Sequin Snowman
Project Description: In order to create a commemorative ornament for Christmas 2012 the Aquaheart clan made a set of sequin ornaments. Mine was a snowman...turns out that I not only made a cute ornament for Christmas but for a WHITE Christmas as well. Don't get a lot of those here.

Project Name: Winter Bird Hoopla
Project Description: I made a hoopla with a purple bird on a snowy branch. It took several tries to get the fully formed bird out. The first few attempts looked like lumpy nothings. And then, after it started to look like a bird, came out with no feathers! Very frustrating!!! But I finally mastered my bird and love how it turned out. I used fabric, felt, floss, and some rock chips (for my falling snow.)
