Prompt: July - Battle - talk to Ambrose Team: Berserker Barbarian Project Name: rainbow painted mess Project Link: Brief Description: I chose to speak with Ambrose the painter. I spent the last hour painting with my nieces. I got this press board unicorn from the Dollar Tree over a year ago, and I finally did something with it. I am not a painter, as you can probably tell. But I finished this, and Grumpy Frog claimed it. It’s particularly fitting since she told me she loves me more than unicorns today. And she LOVES unicorns. Project Photo(s):

Prompt: Talk to Naomi - Too Many Cooks Team: Wizened Wizards Project Name: Queen of the Night Hanagushi Project Link:https://forum.lettucecraft.com/t/queen-of-the-night-hanagushi/ Brief Description: This is a hanagushi (floral comb) featuring a large white Queen of the Night flower, purple clematis, shimmery pampas grass, and a firefly. The pampas grass is made of silver wire, and of course the comb can be worn - although I would say it is probably more for display haha. I use an iron (heat) to activate the holographic film in my insect wings. It makes the different colors in the film stand out more. Also, the UV gets ‘cooked’ under a uv light - sometimes I put the light in a reflective oven (a box lined with shiny tinfoil) to ensure even setting. Project Photo(s):
Prompt: July Battle - Talk to Naomi Team: Wizened Wizards Project Name: Cherry Blossom & Butterfly Ear Cuff III Project Link:Fanciful Ear Cuffs Brief Description: This ear cuff features a large butterfly wing and quite a few cherry blossoms. My Mom’s name is Noemi (the spanish variant of Naomi) and she loves butterflies - collects them even - so I thought I would choose Naomi to talk to. Project Photo(s):
Prompt: Talk to Naomi - Two are Better Than One Team: Wizened Wizards Project Name: Bellflower and Dragonfly Ear Cuff II Project Link:Fanciful Ear Cuffs Brief Description: This ear cuff is made from carefully folded and glued squares of silk, and features purple Chinese bellflowers, and a hovering dragonfly.

Prompt: Research Project Team: Nurturing Druid Project Name: Crochet Pocket Shawl Project Link:Crochet Pocket Shawl Brief Description: I’m still crocheting everyday! I finished this pocket shawl. Despite my newbie troubles, I think it still turned out really cute. First time using several new stitches, and sewing on pockets, and actually reading a pattern. I think it was probably around 30 hours, but I wasn’t really keep track after the first 20. There’s a little more info in the link.
Prompt: Three wee Things Team: Wizards Project Name: Fabric Design Project Link: -0- (I will link this later when the fabric is used and notify you) Brief Description: I wanted to work on customizing some dolls but the clothes were boring. I realized I needed some patterns. I decided to design my own. It was harder than I thought! It took me several hours to make these. I need to remake the center one as it didn’t turn out the way I wanted, but I needed a break. I can draw by hand but on the computer is frustrating! Project Photo(s):

Prompt: Talk to Naomi - It’s Cut and Paste Team: Wizened Wizards Project Name: Butterfly Obidome Project Link:Butterfly Obidome Brief Description: I wanted to create a new obidome for an art show/convention I attended and had some art pieces in. I’ve always been a fan of the butterfly motif, and I’d never made one a big tsumami zaiku butterfly before. Most of my insects have resin wings instead. Project Photo(s):
