I'm not very skilled in the traditional art forms: drawing, painting, sculpting, etc. However, I am quite crafty. Here I will display pictures of some of those creations. Enjoy! Constructive criticism welcome and appreciated, as well as comments and ideas for new projects. In fact, I'd welcome complaints and flames at this point if it would actually get me some feedback. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here are the only two traditionally artistic things I've created that I'm rather proud of.

~ Clothing ~ The clothes that I make are my own design, though I draw inspiration from many sources. The only piece of clothing for which I ever used a pattern was my senior prom dress (which I may eventually post pictures of). I have a couple of designs in the works right now, and I may post my sketches, plans, and designs in the Long-Term projects section once I find the battery for my camera. Gothic Lolita Ensemble | made for myself for Otakon 2008 | finished August 8, 2008  Knee-length Petticoat | made for a friend | finished March 2, 2010  Black Shimmer Skirt (knee-length) | finished April 8, 2010  Punk Skirt | made for Otakon 2010 | finished July 30, 2010 | I wore this skirt at the OtakuRave. Shamrock Skirt | made for Katsucon 2012 | started February 5, 2012

~ Long-Term Projects ~ Arwen's Circlet (from the coronation ceremony at the end of Return of the King) | Reference Pic        2010: I found out that I can't solder or weld the metal I chose for this project with the supplies I currently have, so I'm going to have to find something else. I seriously hope I don't have to do this in silver to make it look right; it's $28 and ounce right now, and this thing isn't exactly light. On the upside, aside from the sheet metal, I have everything else I need for the project, even for the dress (which I still haven't begun). 2011: I've sort of given up on finding the metal I need. So the original circlet idea is on hold, and I've worked out a new plan using just wire. Pics are shown. I'm still not completely happy with it, though. It could definitely stand to be sturdier. 2012: I'm pretty sure I want to make this out of steel (for sturdiness) and then have it plated. I haven't had the wherewithal to start on this third incarnation yet, though.
