"Ello" Worm

   Hello again! Here's another post for your crafting week! Now lately I know I have been doing a lot of crafts from Homestuck, so today I'm going to mix things up a little bit. One of my friends had a birthday recently so I made the "Ello" worm off of labyrinth for her.







   I found an awesome crochet pattern for him on This Websitel. This craft took me around a day to make after some experimentation. The hardest parts were probably the face and hair, but all in all it wasn't too hard to make. I didn't really know how to crochet with swapping the colors without cutting the yarn, so I just cut the yarn and used the ends as extra stuffing for Mr. Worm here and  it worked pretty okay dokay. I just suggest that, as with all patterns, you pay close attention to the instructions so that you don't end up with a monster of yarn that hurts to look at.

   

   I experienced safety eyes for the first time, and yeah, they don't go in straight. Just another thing to make my creation a bit more terrifying unique though!

   So there you go! Something a bit more different from my other posts! Hopefully you guys liked this one and don't think it's terribly dull. See ya next week!

Terezi Shirt

   Hello again my nonexistent readers of my blog! This post will be about the coolness of a T-shirt I made a while ago for yet more of my Terezi cosplay.
   As you can see, it's pretty simple. All I really did for this was do some google searching and a bit of painting. I believe I used acrylic paint with a bit of modifier to make it into fabric paint, but you can just be cool and use regular fabric paint if you so desire. 
  If you want to make yourself a troll shirt, I suggest that you use cardboard in between the two sides, cause it would be horribly tragic for there to be paint on both sides of your shirt.

Bioshock Cup

   Howdy folks! So, by a raise of hands, who here knows what Bioshock is? Anyone who has played it? Infinite doesn't count, because let's be honest here, Bioshock Infinite just doesn't have the same creepy factor that made the other two so darn amazing!


   Here is a little trailer from the first Bioshock in case you were wondering what the heck Bioshock was. WARNING: This is quite the creepy game and therefore, the trailer is going to be pretty disturbing to some, so take caution before watching.

   Last week I had the pleasure of going to Color Me Mine, a really cool place that would let you pick out a piece of pottery to paint. Then, the people there would bake it and glaze it so that whatever you chose is shiny and food safe (though if you decided to paint a piggy bank, you probably wouldn't want to eat out of it.) So anywho, I ended up painting a cup that I am super proud of. Here it is:
    The rose and the music note were both stickers that I painted over and removed later.
   In case you can't read what it says on my awesome cup, it says: "My Daddy Is Better Than Yours." That's right. Little sisters are the bomb. They are most likely one of the coolest things about the game actually.

   So yes, this wasn't really an actual thing that I made, but I figured it counted because I totally painted it. See 'ya next week!

Terezi Horns

So, here it goes. Death By Waffles will begin...now! I haven't really figured out how to work Blogger all that well, but for the time being, it works.

     Now that I've rambled a bit, it's time to get to business. This is my blog for fandom crafts. Or the occasional craft that is just really awesome. I'll be trying to make a variety of crafts for at least a few of the hundreds of fandoms out there, but I can't get to all of them. To start off, here are some horns from HomeStuck that I made out of Feemo clay! They are meant to be Terezi's horns.

     At first I tried to hot glue the horns to the hair clips, but that really just didn't work out at all. The horns kept falling during the activity that I was at. In the end, I used red duct tape to hold one of the horns to the clip, but it would have been a lot easier if I had just thought to use superglue. So very much easier. 


( I made a bit of a mistake with who wrote this and had to fix it up. Embarrassing, but highly necessary.)
