Painted?!?! Awesome.

Lovely! I'll have to try to remember this for next year. Great idea!

SUPER cool. I like top right. Of course, the effect of all together is best.

Super cute! Love that you picked the frond from your yard!

I love this!! Great job.

I love these guys! They look great above your couch like that. A whole wall would be super cool.

I saw Jurassic Park at the drive in. Too young for a date, though. I went with my fam.

Might be in if I can swing it!

Class: Alchemy
House: Gryffindor!
Project Name: Dr. Who Coffee Decal
Project Page Link: N/A
Brief Description: I made this decal for the happy mail swap. The image is from the Internet...somewhere, haha. It is only made of vinyl (one material). It was cut by my Cricut machine, but all those little pieces took a while to weed out.

Class: Charms
House: Gryffindor!
Project Name: Golden Girls Kitchen Towel
Project Page Link: N/A
Brief Description: Flour sack towels are  perfect for keeping your kitchen clean and dry, but can be a bit boring. I jazzed this one up with an image of the Golden Girls - iron-on vinyl cut with my Cricuit. Finding the perfect image for this project wasn't easy!

Class: DADA
House: Gryffindor!
Project Name: Practice Art Canvas
Project Page Link: N/A
Brief Description: I have a secret...I am not very artsy. I can't draw, I can't paint, blending colors escapes me, I don't get the color wheel, I just don't "get" a lot of art. Most of my crafty successes are happy accidents. But, I like art, and would like to try to stretch my artsy muscles a bit more. On that whim, I joined the 6x6 more art, less craft swap, and immediately panicked - I don't know how to art! This canvas was my first attempt for the swap. It's loosely inspired by Alisa Burke's artwork, but I just couldn't seem to replicate her "I don't care where this paint goes but it looks amazing anyway" style. It's...not horrible, I guess, haha.

Challenge: Headmistress Challenge: Hand of Glory
House: Gryffindor!
Project Name: Prayer Flag for me!
Project Page Link: N/A
Brief Description: For the most recent round of the prayer flag swap, we were charged with making a flag for ourselves. I liked the one I made for my partner so much, I made a similar one for myself!

Class: Herbology
House: Gryffindor!
Project Name: Dot Mandala Envelope
Project Page Link: N/A
Brief Description: The unusual material here is the fact that this dot mandala is done directly onto the envelope that I dropped into the mail. It's unusual for me to decorate the packaging for a swap item, but for the happy mail swap, this was a requirement, so I put a dot mandala onto the outside of the mailer!

Class: History of Magic
House: Gryffindor!
Project Name: Grandma's Towel
Project Page Link: N/A
Brief Description: Made for Mother's Day to honor my MIL, this towel is decorated with frogs (her favorite) to symbolize her three grandchildren. It's grandma's lilypad!

Class: SoAR
House: Gryffindor!
Project Name: Sparkle Canvas
Project Page Link: N/A
Brief Description: Made for edelC in the 6x6 art swap, this little canvas is the result of my second attempt at "arting," haha. Actually using paint brushes to put paint to canvas is new for me, and the techniques used here are all a bit out of my comfort zone. I took forever to send because I just couldn't decide if it was done or not. I'm still not sure, lol.
