Pokemon Project: Pikachu



Finally, after months of this project, it's time for the most well known Pokémon of all. I didn't have the necessary lightning bolts, but I bought some from ebay before the quarantine even started. This set took a lot of arranging, rearranging, and completely changing the plans I had for it, but thanks to the quarantine, I've been doing a lot more of everything.

Unfortunately, I had to realize that my mom's tablecloth isn't as good for pictures as the naked table was. Oh well.

Pichu:


To start the trend of baby Pokémon being listed with their evolved forms, I made these earrings to represent Pichu. The lightning bolts were bought from ebay, everything else from Hobby Lobby.

 Pikachu:


Made entirely of beads from leftover projects, some wire, and a magnetic clasp, Pikachu isn't as cute as it is on TV. Since my point is to make Pokémon jewelry without using their images, I still passed that test.

 Raichu:


I used the last of the beads from the Charmander line to finish the Raichu necklace. I realized that I flipped one of the lightning bolts around so it didn't match the other two, but I plan on keeping these, so it's not going to matter.

The quarantine isn't killing me like it's killing my family. I'm used to not going to work or school and being trapped in the house all day. I'm just hoping my internet stays active and the world gets healthy.

Pokemon Project: Bulbasaur

I did it. My first ever complete jewelry set. The first Pokémon family in the official list - the Grass-type starter Pokémon that started it all, Bulbasaur. It's one of those Pokémon that even my mother recognizes. Unfortunately, my camera's flash isn't working as well as it could. If it was, you would be able to see the pretty green I chose for my beads. I've decided to keep the set, anyway. Bulbasaur: The earrings were made with beads I got on clearance at Hobby Lobby. Ivysaur: I used the same strands of beads for the bracelet, and this one does have an error. I used two pink beads in a row when the pattern said no, but I did decide to keep these. UPDATE: I changed the chain closure to a flower toggle clasp, in keeping with the Ivysaur theme. Venusaur: I used beads from the other two sets for the necklace, and I didn't get those from the clearance aisle. I did get the big pink beads from another clearance strand, and I made the charm

Introduction

Hi, I'm Nora, and I have a creativity addiction. I've been running the Baking in Black cooking blog for years, but I haven't been doing much for it lately. That's why I started a blog for any other kind of creativity. Here, I'll show pictures of my current projects, links to my video tutorials on YouTube, my self-imposed challenges, and entire blog posts on where I get my inspiration from. As you can tell, I have plans for this blog. I still don't know what it's going to be like in even a year's time, but maybe my readers will get to see me get better at art. Probably not, though. Why should I do art when I have my brother to do art for me?

Pokemon Project: Spearow

Image
Since the broken necklace from the auction gave me enough brown beads to make Fearow, I did not go shopping for this family. It took a while to get started even after I had the design in mind, because my wrist was bothering me again. Again, I used only leftover beads, so I didn't have to spend any money. Spearow: These earrings used two of the last four feathers, and some shiny beads from my Pidgeot necklace. Fearow: This bracelet used some of the beads from a broken necklace, the same one I used for Raticate's bracelet. It also has beads in it that I bought for the Pidgey line. I'm still going on this challenge. I am also starting to feel the strain on my budget. But I have a craft fair coming up and am still looking for jobs, so I might be able to replace some of what I spent on this project.
