@batrogers asked:

Also, second prompt, Tundra or Gaoler in recycled materials? (Also hello fellow Flight Rising fan!)

Hello fellow FR fan! :D I have drawn my very colorful boy!

I am super pleased with how this one came out. A recycled pudding jar, with a thin layer of tissue paper glued to it, colored with sharpies, and black details gone over with acrylic paint to be more opaque. It's so pretty when the light goes through it, and the colors reflect on the shiny buttons inside :3

I Tried Tuesday

I wrote this post: Show me the things that tell me you tried

So I wanted to share some of my things that I've tried. Things that have taught me something, or that I'm not very good at, but have enjoyed regardless.

This one is drawing again, which I'm really not good at. However, have you ever had imagery that stayed with you, months or even years after you read it? I want to share one of these. It's a very basic pencil drawing, of an image described in a Tolkien AU called Prayers to Broken Stone by @balrogballs

The broken door, under the rusting Urumis (Flexible brass swords, that are coiled over the lintel) was so vivid that I still see the broken teak door. The house in question was nicknamed the Mad House, hence my drawing title.

The shield I added, which I believe is called a paricha (Please tell me if that's incorrect). It wasn't in the fic, but I drew it to have the parallel to Tolkien's three Silmarils, which Fëanor created. AU Fëanor is who created and then mounted the swords.

This picture is part of my very human experience.

Feel free to share or make into a tag game if you wish. Show me the things you tried.

I found a horrible falling apart Christmas angel at the thrift store.

So I pulled it apart.

And built it a sturdier core out of cardboard to replace that ridiculous plastic cone.

I shaped out the body with bits of cardboard and fabric.

Then made a better outfit from scraps of cotton.

First coat of grey paint, mixed with a bit of water so it saturated and hardened the fabric.

Second coat of paint filled in any spots I missed, gave it some color variation, and added mossy spots.
