Monty Mole Painting - SamRI

My newest painting is finally done! After two to three tries to get the colors correct, I think I was successful! Monty Mole:

And another image of Jumpin' Piranha Plant!:

More to come! My bro's b-day present...which will measure 30 x 24, unlike these 5 x 7

Summer, Graduation, and Sprites! - SamRI

Summer is here! I have graduated with a B.S in Geoscience, and now I have time to do random stuff! So here you are:

(above) I put together a couple Super Mario World Sprites--the two coins--and I'm sure will make some more random ones soon!

(above) I finished my Bub painting which I started long, long, lonnggg ago!

(above) My pride of the morning is this! The Jumpin' Piranha Plant! Perler bead sprite with glued to a painted canvas! I have another of the same type in the mix now...I just...need more craft supplies! (such as it always is)

More to come! (and I actually mean it this time)

The usual

School. Too much. Graduating soon, if all pans out correctly. I'll probably go crazy during and make something, or, more likely, afterwards when I can sit and slowly deflate like a flan in a cupboard.

It's October

And school is upon me. Minimum 40-60 hours a week at school = no time for crafts. Also, very little money helps that ultimatum. Maybe later, maybe some other time. As far as I go...no crafts for a while I'm sure. As far as my friend goes? Well, it's probably the same. Ta~

TWO! Updates! - SamRI

First! I know that it has been FOREVER since I posted anything, and even further in the forever that my partner here has posted something; we have both been in a craft-rutt, so-to-speak...anyways, I have completed two, count-em, TWO, projects within the past week or so. Number 1:The framed baby Yoshi's from Super Mario World piece! Every type of Yoshi, in baby form, is presented here in a very nice matting and frame! A lovely piece for say...a babies room, or a game room, or my girlfriend's room!

Number 2!: Bub (or is it Bob?) from Bubble Bobble Painting!

Acrylic on canvas it will match Bob (or Bub?) when I am start and finish it! I have a bunch of canvases, paintbrushes, and paint! So prepare for more paintings! (If...my craft-add doesn't take a hold of me first) I do have a perler bead piece, a simple Klonoa (gba sprite ver.) that I will post of picture of eventually. Personal life entry next, stop reading if you don't feel like listening to my life.

School starts in approximately two weeks and I would rather have pancreatic cancer than go back...but what can you do? Craft time during school time? This will, im sure, become a minimum. Full load of classes, with capstone research, and other blah blah blah, and I have a recipe for craft procrastination, but we'll see. It just needs to be over with.

BUT WAIT! After this year is grad school! And where? Heck if I know!!!! I should probably figure that out say...within the next month? When was I supposed to be working on this? Answer: the past three months. GRE's too. Woo. But that ends my rant/story. *The more you know*

GAMEBOY CLOCK! - SamRI

So the story begins about a 1.5 weeks ago. I came across a Goodwill and found an old Gameboy in it. Because I am a whore for collecting these things (people that know me can agree to this) I bought it. Turns out: it didn't work. After an hour or two trying to fix it I gave up and pronounced it officially dead. Know I had a useless Gameboy. What to do with it?

A few minutes of thinking and it came to me: a clock! A few more minutes of this strange "thinking" I though of an addition to this: the clock lights up when you flip with Gameboy on/off switch. So I instantly set about working...when I got off work. A week later with much hardship, use of my dremel, sodering gun and newly purchased glue gun...

~I give you the Gameboy Clock!!!~

When the switch is flipped:
Hope you enjoyed it!

Tarts! - SamRI

All craft projects are kind of at a halt due to lack of funds, and lack of black perler beads :( I had a safeway gift card so I decided to bake something! I chose...tarts! Blackberry to be exact. I have no clue how they turned out tastewise....I'll be trying them later today.


[EDIT] The tarts are basically amazing. Crust is a little too thick...but when the crust itself tastes delicious...it just doesn't matter.
