Hi everyone! I really want to say sorry for not being very active lately and that part of the reason is that I'm stuck in an idea rut. The good news is that I am now taking open suggestions for pieces you'd like to see me make! I'm totally open to anything I have the supplies and time for, so don't hesitate to suggest!
On my other computer (which has my Cintiq) I have discovered a program that is even more powerful than Photoshop: Painter 12. I got it for Christmas and didn't try it out until lately because I didn't realize its potential as a great program. I would definitely recommend Corel Painter 12 for anyone who feels like they need something a little more than Photoshop. ;)

Anyway, back on topic, here are some suggestions that I probably cannot manage (or at least at home):

• paper mache
• oil paints
• whittling (I've only made one thing that way: a bamboo flute that kind of played)
• quilting or sewing (I will have to teach myself first!)

• crocheting or knitting (ditto)

Notice there are a few things that I did not list: photography, clay work, watercolors, etc. These are things I can do (plus my regular digital/paper work). So feel free to suggest and I am really sorry if Weebly decides to eat my last few lines (when you type too much it deletes some usually). Bye and I look forward to reading your suggestions!

I'm in a Shakespeare club where we choose one of his plays and perform it. This time, we're doing The Tempest (I'm Sebastian and the Shipmaster!). In one of the scenes, three goddesses appear: Juno, Ceres, and Iris. To do those characters, we have to make puppets. And so, with the help of a professional puppeteer, we are assembling these puppets! We worked on them yesterday, but I was the only person able to make it to the meeting. Fortunately, that meant I had one puppet job all to myself! It's not done yet, but here's the process: Make a base out of clay, then cover it with plastic. After that, cover the base in a layer of paper maché. Put on one more layer and remove the clay base after time for drying. Then you paint it and it's done! I will try to send a picture of the finished product. For now, here's my work in progress!

I started and finished this book in a day, despite it being over 400 pages long. The characters are great, and the storyline is even better! The book is about a fourth-grader named Sakura who opens a magical book, the Clow, and awakens a magical creature named Cerberus (or Kero-chan for short). He tells her that the book used to hold magical cards called Clow Cards, and that he is the protector of the cards. Unfortunately, the cards went missing when he fell asleep for... well, about thirty years. Now Sakura has to collect all the Clow Cards and save the world from disaster! And so the adventure begins...

If you're looking for a manga packed with action and adventure, this is the book for you! The illustration is exceptional, and there are 25+ color pictures (They say there are 25, but I counted 30)! I would definitely recommend this book for those who have money to spare/have a birthday coming up. They're pretty expensive, but by my standards, worth every cent!
Tip: Don't buy from Barnes and Noble; it's $7 more expensive than ordering off Amazon. :)

Hello! I finally got it finished! It's set 2! (Well, mostly just one valentine, but it took some good work to come up with!) I think, depending on its printout size, that I left good room for a Tootsie Roll or something on the back. Well, enjoy! Another coming soon! :)

I don't know about you guys, but I hate going out to buy Valentines. Plus, who wants to sit around making masterpiece valentines that nobody's going to remember? I sure don't! Ladies and gentlemen (but mostly ladies), this Hearts and Hooves day, I present.... My own line of valentines! For FREE! Here's my first set of them. Feel free to download and print them. I would recommend using cardstock (not the off-white kind) if you have access to it. If not, regular printer paper is alright, but a bit flimsy for a valentine. These valentines print to be the size of index cards, so I hope the text size will be okay. For those of you who don't want to give MLP:FiM valentines, another non-MLP set is coming very soon. I plan to release about 5 different sets over the course of the next few days. If I were you, I'd try to print these front-and-back rather than gluing them together. Each one below is next to its back. Enjoy! As for my orange girl, I'm having a minor case of artist's block and may post my yellow girl first. Anyway...

Let's help Derpy avoid the fate that Hasbro has determined for her! Poor Derpy is an awesome (but a bit crazy) pony who is going to be stripped of her name, appearances, and derpy eyes. She'll become a nameless and normal background pony with nothing special about her. Don't just think about Derpy, think about the way her disappearance will affect the other ponies. Who will be Carrot Top's roommate? Who will be Doctor Whooves' assistant? Who will accidentally destroy Ponyville? "I just don't know what went wrong!" We don't either, Derpy. Please, if you want to help the brony world's favorite pony, add a comment to this post saying "Save Derpy!"

Also: The wait is almost over! My orange girl is almost finished. When I post her, the polls will be closed for the red girl's name. So don't forget to vote! That's all for now! :)

For those of you who don't know, Flipnote Studio is a free animation application that comes with the Nintendo DSi. (It may also be available for the 3DS... I hope!) It allows you to create animations that you can add sound to. Whether you're dedicated to making perfectly precise Flipnotes or if you just like to mess around with the basic tools to see what you can make, Flipnote Studio can definitely keep you occupied when you need something to do.
Plus, Flipnote Hatena is a site where you can sign up to post your Flipnotes for the world to see! :) My Flipnotes are almost to the point where I'll be proud to post them! So look out soon, because a new creator is crashing Flipnote Hatena! My name will appear as either DRAGONITE or Dragonite23.
Still working on the perfect lipsync for my characters, and I'm just learning with the Advanced Tools (sigh... Why didn't I figure them out sooner?...). Was I the only one getting frustrated trying to find the Advanced Tools? Cuz it took me a REALLY LONG time to find them (in Settings).
Anyway, if you have a Flipnote Hatena account, tell me your code and I will favorite you and give stars! Sorry if this post is long, but my fingers were ready to type, so I just typed eveything I could think of about Flipnote Studio... :)
Also: My favorite creators on Hatena are McBoo and Epic. (Epic is actually two people: Epic and Guitar.) Epic has been my animation hero ever since I figured out how to use Hatena. He must have used up a couple of SD cards posting as many Flipnotes as he does! McBoo's Flipnotes are funny, but I especially like his recent Christmas Flipnote. "You know what I want for Christmas this year, Santa? I want you to STOP. EATING. MY. COOKIES!!" -Quote from McBoo's Christmas Flipnote

I hope that this makes up for all of the time that I didn't
