There is always something that gives me grief when I embark on a new paper project. This time? The bubbles. >:( I think I made it more stupidly difficult than it should have been, but when you only have a 40 minute window of time during which the baby naps, this process of finding the "best solution" takes eons!</div>

End of rant. Other than those bubbles, Mercury has been the fastest yet! </div>

Ah, well, at least it got done, right? I love me some paper art! What an incredibly rewarding medium. Seriously, it allows illustrators to work with their hands and use their puzzle problem-solving powers.<br />

Happy New Year! May it be filled with all the creative endeavors our little hearts can stand!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On a previous note, Christmas was sadly undercrafted. I had delusions of grandeur, and didn't consider how much time a short engagement wedding would consume -- especially one 4 days before Christmas. BUT! I was able to make a gift for my brother-in-law (whose name I drew out of the mystery hat this year). He's a pediatric dentist, if you couldn't guess, so I made him a healthy tooth and a cavity zombie tooth.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He later reported their success: One of his patients needed to have some teeth pulled, and he notified the parents who then straight up told their little girl what needed to happen. She did what any child would do: she freaked out. After a few attempts to calm her down, my brother-in-law then pulled out the two teeth plush toys I made, and let her hold them while she calmed down and underwent the procedure. Apparently, she clung to them with force. :) </div>

Instead, October, November, and December have been and will be ridiculously packed! I could list off everything I've been slammed with, but suffice it to say that I feel like this. -> @_@<br />
<br />
One of the things I've been swamped with is my dear friend's upcoming wedding. As the maid of honor, I've been tasked with a fair share of to-dos, but nothing has been more exhausting than making over 150 tissue paper pom pom flowers. With the help of the other bride's maids and my wonderful mother-in-law, I finished them off this morning -- but not before Kiki so graciously offered her assistance. Yes, kitty. I see you arm deep in that tissue paper.<br />

Hopefully I will have more things to post after Christmas. In the meantime, here's a sneak peek of a project I was working on before the chaos whirlwind whisked me away:<br />

Here is my most ambitious cross-stitch project yet: The Kingdom of Hyrule (light world map)! It is my and my husband's goal to fill our apartment with little Zelda Easter eggs... like coasters that look like the pixelated boulders in 'Zelda, a Link to the Past' or storing our milk in containers labeled Lon Lon's milk...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway! What I have so far really doesn't look all that impressive, but there are over 14,000 of those blue stitches. If I haven't yet developed tendinitis, I will by the end of this project.</div>

Dallin wanted to give me some practice designing, patterning, building, and sewing before we begin constructing the puppets for our little personal project, "Fleeced" (working title).<br />
<br />
I think he turned out pretty swell for my first go at the entire puppet building process. :)<br />

However! It has a background now. Originally, it was going to include trees and foliage and tree spirits and just general greenery goodness. As you can tell, the effort stopped with her.<br />
<br />
Anyway, as the title states I was mainly using the <a href="http://blankfx.blogspot.com/2013/04/sketch-doodle.html">sketch</a> for color / shading practice. <br />

It was a gift, a portrait for a gal whose mother had just passed away. :'<<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I must confess, I don't feel like portraiture or caricatures are my strong suit at all. This was quite a challenge for me. It took me forever to dump out some pretty awful sketches, not quite capturing what I wanted or how to make the mother (with so much detail, wrinkles, and folds in her face) look her age without her looking stylistically weird.</div>

<br />
Also, I was digging around in our bookcase where we keep our multitude of sketchbooks and came across one from 2006-2007. Most of the doodles were pretty terrible... okay, they were ALL terrible, but there were some that sucked less than others. I found one of Princess Mononoke (my very first introduction to the Miyazaki world) and thought it might be fun to redraw it now that I have a little bit of anatomy and character know-how floating around in my brain.<br />

They're the same size as an <a href="http://blankfx.blogspot.com/2012/12/owlie.html">owl</a> I mentioned in a previous post (3"x3") and are of each girls' characters. Minis are always fun (especially since, from cut to frame, I can finish them in about a day). :)<br />

I've been sporadically working on it, but with Christmas drawing near I decided it was high time to get it done if I wanted to give it as a gift. Then I went kind of crazy with the frame, making Dallin cut out the pieces for me. :) <br />

So I polished it up and threw in some color.<br />
<br />
Ultimately, it turned into more Sailor Moon fan art. :P I thought that Sailor Mars especially identified with Elphaba in that moment as she watched her unrequited love choose another. :) <br />

Not only was it ridiculously cute, but it was also on sale for $2/yard and it looked like there was about just a yard left. Score! Then, my gears a-churning, we scurried over to Hobby Lobby where I found the perfect specimen to use with that fabric:<br />

On his side, as soon as I found out who I was giving to, I knew immediately what I wanted to create. I was so excited that I bought all of the supplies back in early November.<br />

From start to finish, this piece was extremely satisfying and seemed to create itself. I love it when the process works out that way.<br />

Dallin had some great expectations for this little house (as in it was going to be a two story monstrosity and probably three times the size), but he ran out of ingredients to make more gingerbread dough. So we gussied up the yard instead.<br />

My plan was to make this a cute and classy piece, peppered with little ribbons and swirls and maybe even some strategically placed hearts! Once I got the vision down, I was really excited to get to it, but time was definitely not on my side.<br />

The major players (the couple, the Eiffel Tower, and the clouds) turned out really well! But those daggum trees! And all the other little details I still needed to add! There was still too much to do and not enough time to do it in and do it well. So, I painfully decided to chop down my piece. Majorly. And this is what came out:<br />
<br />

<br />

I agonized over the background. I still wanted to include that Eiffel Tower daggumit! But around midnight, I realized that the new size and overall simplicity of the piece needed to be echoed in an equally simple background.<br />
<br />
Despite my starting sketch, I'm not the least bit disappointed. I still feel like I achieved my goal: cute and classy. :)<br />

I feel like she should have a sister balanced on the rim of a cup of hot chocolate. Hmm.... maybe next doodle break...<br />

Christmas presents. So there will likely be a small explosion of posts after the holidays, but until then... enjoy this teeny tiny owl (3in x 3in)!<br />
