Xmas Swap

The Buffyfest Swap has come and gone. More than enough time for the recipients to get their goodies and for me to show them off.

This year I went with a stuffed stocking theme.

And had fun doing it :)

Buffy - The End of Season 8

Season 8 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics are finishing up this month. I decided to mark the end of this season with a hand embroidered piece of the first issue's cover. I hope you like it.

Looking forward to Season 9!!!

Bye Bye Buffy

It was a little hard to package this one up. Every time I check my shop and see this red bag still there, I wonder if I should keep it for myself. I just love it. And I put so much into it. But it has gone off to a new home. I hope it is a happy place. Full of fun & whimsy :)

I also had to say goodbye to these pretties...

I wondered if she had been to the sale in Ypsilanti at the Riverside Arts Center since she lives about one town over. I suppose I could ask, but it'd be weird to bring it up now that I have already acknowledged the order & thanked her.

I must admit - I needed that. It is easy to get discouraged...especially when I haven't been producing as much as I would like. This little boost and the spark I am feeling lighting up inside...I have a good feeling for next year. Here's to creating!

The Buffy B

I have been working on embroidery pieces for my messenger bags. I have a ton traced out (click here if you want to see that post). I am almost done with the Firefly Coin I featured in my last post. And while I was waiting for a trip to the store for more orange floss, I made this Buffy B.




And for those of who who are not familiar with the reference...Buffy the Vampire Slayer - tv series by Joss Whedon. The "B" here is the font of the title. And the stick thingy...that is Mr. Pointy - her stake. I am really happy with the way it turned out. Now I just need to decide what color the bag should be. This piece will be a panel on the front flap like I did with my Serenity bag. Any thoughts?

Whedonverse Swap by Me

Okay...my partner has received these goodies, so I can post them for your viewing pleasure...or laughter...your choice. The swap was "Whedonverse"...as in Joss Whedon...as in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, Serenity, Dr. Horrible, & all the comics (these always tend to exclude Toy Story & Alien, but that's ok...these are more fun...)

The first large picture shows the mini duffle bag I made with the Buffy "B"
and the painting entitled "Actual Size".

FYI: the painting is based on the BtVS episode Fear where the Gachnar demon reveals himself...only to be squashed by Buffy's shoe. Giles did not notice the "actual size" notation in the book describing this particular demon.

This second picture shows what was inside the duffle...a bunch of felt stuffies...

From Firefly/Serenity there is Jayne's aviator glasses/mask, "leaf on the wind", Independant badge, Blue Sun, Simon's stethescope, Wash's dinosaurs and "two by two hands of blue". Then from Buffy there is Mr. Pointy. And of course, the Grr Arrgghhh dude (Mutant Enemy) :)
