Flyin’ by on the Hawaiian roller coaster ride – Stitch and Angel

Posted in Made on Twitch by

In addition to creating the astronaut piece for the show, I wanted to make a larger piece that I could showcase that would fit the theme of ‘love’. One of my Twitch friends said she would love to commission a Stitch and Angel piece, so I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to create something for the show. I drew this piece up before I started my Twitch stream (as I often do) and here are a couple of screen caps from my 4 hour stream working on it.

With such a large piece, it was way more helpful to label all the parts on my template so that I didn’t cut things the wrong color (which I always end up doing anyways, and this was no exception)

This piece was designed to fit in a 8″x10″ frame, and is one of the larger pieces that I have created.

The final piece picture is not great, but I wanted to show what the background ended up looking like. I worked for about 2.5 more hours to create the ocean and sun, each wave is individually cut out and backed. I really think this piece came out super cute and I hope that one day a cute couple hangs it on their wall.

I love you to the Moon and back – The Astronaut

As the art show is rapidly approaching, I realized that I don’t really have much that speaks to the theme of ‘love’. I have been playing a lot of Astroneer lately and am generally obsessed with space and the like, so I decided to whip up this astronaut piece that I instantly fell in love with (no pun intended).

Generally, I do not use precreated elements for my work (printed parts, confetti, etc.) but once I created this piece, I knew I had to add one of my favorite phrases, “I love you to the Moon and back”. The only way I felt that this could be best executed was through print, so despite much internal struggle, I whipped up this small little plate to add to the piece that I really feel ties it all together.

I used some nice shimmery texture paper for the blue elements and space suit as well as a small piece of mirror paper for the helmet.

BMO does weird junk when no one is around

I have been riding the Adventure Time hype train since the show originally aired in 2007. As a lover of all things gaming and robots, I instantly fell in love with BMO. Here are a few screen grabs and the finished project from my Twitch Stream. This was the first time working with mirror paper on a large scale, and let me say, that despite how cool it looks, that stuff sucks.

Adventure Time,
C’mon grab your friends,
We’re going to very distant lands.
With Jake the Dog and Finn the Human,
The fun will never end,
It’s Adventure Time!
