Well, this was a fun way to discover I never made the "Song of the Krazoa" book cover I thought I did 🙃 Guess I know what book cover I'm making next.

Anyway, here are Star Fox themed book covers I photoshopped forever ago. Feel free to use them in your own projects! (Again, don't mind the writing on the back covers. That's just filler so it looks like there's something on the back of the book when I print them at scale.)

One of the first photos I took of my Elias was him standing in a patch of snow that somehow fell in Houston the year of Harvey.  The snow was about half an inch deep, and melted away before noon.  I wished at the time he could have Chise beside him. 

This year I was finally able to take that picture... at the beginning of a blizzard.

(Once again I’ve put a chair in front of his stand so he can be tall. Don’t get used to it, Elias!)

Uh oh!  What’re you gonna do, Elias?  Two Chises!

Doremi spends her time with stuffed animals.  Tonight they're enjoying a story together.  She reads, they listen!

Summer trip, everybody into the camper!

A proper photo of the flower shop’s interior.  It’s still not finished, but this corner’s mostly done.

As usual, a lot of recycling is going into this project.  The rug is from a piece of vintage 50s fabric.  The printed pots are from a Strawberry Shortcake reissue box.  The dirt is coffee grounds.  The bonsai branches are bits of leftover milliput from my customization projects.  The coins are seed beads from a late aunt’s craft supply stash.  Whenever I use things from her collection, I think she would be happy that her interests carry on.

Fun fact: The “locally grown” sign is misspelled, but I shopped out my shame. I haven’t written in cursive since middle school, I panicked and forgot how to spell.

Another closeup inside the flower shop. 

The poster for Wutai is made from bits of a magazine cut up and taped together - the photos are from Mexico, not an Asian country.  But use what you’ve got, you know? 

The flowers are a cat fur MAGNET.  I might have to work out some kind of cover for the open part of the shop, or every time I play with it I’ll have to deep clean it.
