More New Resin Tokens


The is a new resin that I have been toying around with lately that sets due to UV light. I'm still not sure what I think of it. For these I don't mind it so much but when it covers all the items completely, well; I'm still not sold on how it looks. I like how my other resins conform more to the shape of the objects beneath when they dry. This one has a hard, even and glossy look to it. I'll have to do more testing...

Mini Tokens and Cyber Steam Tokens




I'm a sucker for black light and neon items so when a friend tossed some great orange and yellow caps to me I decided to play a little. The piece inside is from a clock but it reminded me of a power button on a computer, so I decided that would be the kind of piece that would go inside these neon pieces. The first try I used a stamped background of gears while the second I left blank since I thought the first seemed a bit cluttered.



Stumbled across some small bottle cap charms and thought I would play with one. :3

Anime Overload Loot

Goodies from Anime Overload. =^.^=




This is just a shot of all the goodies. =)
The Deadpool badge is from herms85.deviantart.com
I'm a huge Deadpool fan...





I grabbed this hat from Georgia Thomas of "Puddles the Pirate Kitty."
She is an Austin Local artist and takes custom order at kittaba@yahoo.com




Unfortunately it seems I didn't grab a business card for the artists that made him.
I shall have to hunt!




Snagged this from Rhapsodical Wares (listed Rhapsodical Hats on the Local Artist tab.)
Find more items on their Etsy shop at rhapsodicalhats.etsy.com!




I'm in love with this from Rhapsodical Wares (listed Rhapsodical Hats on the Local Artist tab.)

This is another item from Georgia Thomas of "Puddles the Pirate Kitty."
She had quite a few and sold all of them tonight.

This is from ClockWork Threads. (http://www.clockworkthreads.com/)
I really love the design on this! I can't wait to see more of her work.
She handles a lot of custom item work from her website.
Have a picture in mind? Talk to her! She'll make it work!

So overall the con was rather small and the panels were a bit hard to hear but I really think it makes for a good one day con. Everything was packed into one room (performance stage, dealers, artists and panels with cloth dividers in the back of the room.) They also had two food vendors there which was kind of nice. (Yummy Sno-cones!) I mainly just went to go check out the artists.

Other artists that were there include Winged Cat Studios (lucubro-insomnis.deviantart.com), A Key Within: Geek Chic (http://www.akeywithin.etsy.com/), Airship Isabella (Airshipisabella.com) and Bleak World Productions (http://www.metaphoricsurrealist.com/.)
