Page holder...thing

 I made this loose page holder in like an hour this afternoon, while listening to Vlogbrothers videos on youtube. (They are very funny if you don't know who they are.)
Anyway, I used hot glue to attach the pieces of felt together.
 Isn't a pretty button? And that button is just over the button hole, because I have somehow lost all of my needles and thread: probably because my sister is coming for the holidays and I have moved a lot of my stuff to the garage.
 Most of the pages are painted with a half paint, half water mixture, that make the page nice and thick and rough enough to use calligraphy ink on.
 Though I know it is deplorable, I used a really mangled copy of Harry Potter 5, that I found in the middle of the road out side of my apartment.

I painted some pages, and used fancy edge scissors to make the edges rough looking. I scraped the paint off of the word 'magical' because I did intend to use the pages for spells or another BOS.
Here is the whole thing. It's made from four small rectangular pieces of felt, and then four smaller rectangular pieces of felt - the clasps on the front.


Tell me what you think. :)
Blessed Be!

Medicine Bag


I decided to make a medicine bag. I've had several little "velvet" bags that are just perfect for medicine bags. 











Inside the bag is: a quartz crystal, an agate stone, a small gold star, a small silver crescent moon, a small sea shell, a crystalized rock, a small jar of herbs (which smell great, by the way) and a braid.
The quartz=clear thought, agate=protection, star=the pentacle, the moon=goddess, sea shell=water, rock=earth, herbs=nice smell (I like things that smell nice) and the braid is a representation of me (yellow string), the mysterious (black string), and the divine (white string).
I plan on adding a fortune spell during the eclipse this Saturday.
Blessed Be. )0(

Graduation Dinosaur

 I made this little dinosaur for my friend who will be graduating soon. He has a cap and diploma, tied with a ribbon.

 He's smiling, because he has just graduated Dinosaur school.
He's blue and white, the colors of the school that my friend is graduating from.


Tell me what you think,
Blessed Be!

(P.S. This Saturday around 5:30 am on the Western side of America, there will be a total Lunar eclipse! I'm excited to Honor the Goddess, I'll probably make chocolate Mexican wedding cookies.)

Calligraphy Pen

Today, I bought a calligraphy pen and ink, because I've always wanted a fancy pen set thing. And I hope to use it for some spells or scrolls, but I have to find some really good paper so the ink doesn't sink through to the other side of the page.

Desk Gargoyle

 I made this cute little polymer clay gargoyle. I mixed black and white clay to make a marbled grey. I used little black seed beads for his eyes.
 I added little red spines on his back and tail.
He keeps watch over my desk and the mess that is covering it.
