FAIL

Think chainmaille is difficult? You're right! It is about as complicated as it looks. This thing was my third attempt at a really cool design, and I never figured it out.

Metal Flowers

Very small, simple, and charming. Made from a cats-eye bead and a metal flower I picked up at this tiny, garage-sale-like shoppe down in St. James.

Ink and Fairydust-- August

August's Ink & Fairydust is out!

This issue is all about fantasy and sci-fi.

And I have several exciting things to share with you:

Ink & Fairydust now has its own website: www.InkAndFairydust.com

Ink & Fairydust is now on Facebook. Please, please fan us!

Guess whose artwork is on the cover? It was a great honor to get to do it!

I am now being published as Shaylynn Rackers. (FYI, I was "Nenetta" in all previous issues.)


I have an article on Subcreation. Please read the article-- it is (hopefully) informative about the role that imagination plays, and how it is a God-given gift. Why do stories about fantasical things ring at such a deep and resounding level? Go read me article. ^_^

Of course, my montly Art Column and Comic are in there.

I'm now part of the graphics team! YAY! So far I've only done some text-dropping. Unfortunately I won't be able to help out again until we are moved into the new house.

Of course, I want you to read through the whole thing. My poor little article pales in comparison to some of the gems by the geniuses writing here!

Open publication

Elvish Earrings

Ok... I was SO SURE I had already done a post on these earrings... I made them a very long time ago... but for the life of me I can't find the post.

I was going to add a new picture to said previous post, but instead I am going to make a new one, for my favorite pair of earrings!

They are made with 3 dangling Czech glass leaf beads and a little swirl to top them off!

Pretty Purple Orbitals

A third variation of the Firework Orbitals-- this time totally girly and topped with "diamonds"!
