(I usually make iPod cases, but I can also make iPhone cases.)
There's a little pocket behind mini-Marley, and he's a complete plush who can be removed by removing the stitches attaching him to the case.
The hardest part of the case to make were his dreadlocks- I used a tiny crochet hook to thread individual pieces of yarn through the felt and braided them, tying them off with black thread. They were secured on the other side by knots I made before threading them through.
His mouth and nose were embroidered with embroidery thread using a variant of satin-stitching.]]> ipod case, ipod cases, etsy, music-inspired, commissions, requests, fan art, bob marley, snowfoxcreations, indy nonadult Artisan Crafts/Custom Dolls SnowFoxCreations http://uc.artician.com/members/0/3/3080/avatar.png Copyright 2009 SnowFoxCreations http://snowfoxcreations.artician.com/portfolio/Deliverance/ http://snowfoxcreations.artician.com/portfolio/Deliverance/ Sun, 30 Aug 2009 00:13:12 -0400 Deliverance This was commissioned for the cover of THIS CD.

This was painted entirely with watercolors- on vellum! I had some vellum laying around, and I decided to try painting on it. The results were awesome, and the translucency of the vellum means that Im going to have fun making window adornments. ]]> nonadult Image/Traditional Art SnowFoxCreations http://uc.artician.com/members/0/3/3080/avatar.png Copyright 2009 SnowFoxCreations http://snowfoxcreations.artician.com/portfolio/Suzaku/ http://snowfoxcreations.artician.com/portfolio/Suzaku/ Fri, 13 Feb 2009 17:17:20 -0500 Suzaku Suzaku, the phoenix, from the ancient Asian legends.]]> firebird, phoenix, fan art, mythology, japan, china, suzaku, watercolor, painting nonadult Image/Traditional Art SnowFoxCreations http://uc.artician.com/members/0/3/3080/avatar.png Copyright 2009 SnowFoxCreations http://snowfoxcreations.artician.com/portfolio/Rainbow-Dream/ http://snowfoxcreations.artician.com/portfolio/Rainbow-Dream/ Fri, 13 Feb 2009 17:15:20 -0500 Rainbow Dream Watercolor.

This is a painting of a geisha. Geisha are NOT prostitutes, despite the best efforts of ignorant Western cinema to portray them as such. The word for prostitute is "oiran," and the two even live in different districts. Geisha are professional dancers and singers- the equivalent of respected opera stars in the West. A quick way to tell the difference between geish and oiran is that geisha wear their obi (sash) tied in the back. Only oiran wear obi tied in the front.]]> geisha, kimono, painting, india ink, watercolor nonadult Image/Traditional Art SnowFoxCreations http://uc.artician.com/members/0/3/3080/avatar.png Copyright 2009 SnowFoxCreations http://snowfoxcreations.artician.com/portfolio/Entangled/ http://snowfoxcreations.artician.com/portfolio/Entangled/ Fri, 13 Feb 2009 17:09:14 -0500 Entangled I love this pairing. ^^ It would NEVER happen, though, and I'm not the sort of fan who tries to convince others that my crap OTP is canon.

Some notes about her outfit:
The lowest layer is susoyoke, topped with a hadajuban. Over that is the nagajuban, which is the lowest (white) collar showing at her throat. (Nagajuban are kind of like slips.)

On top of the nagajuban is a pink iromuji, which is a plain, solid-color kimono often worn for tea ceremonies. Hikari sometimes wears the iromuji without the optional layers above it.

The violet and green collars at her throat are fake collars called tsuke'eri, which are clipped on to give the appearance of wearing more kimono. Above those is a houmongi, which is a type of semi-formal kimono (it's the one with the white background and violet roses, in this case.)

Above the houmongi she wears a violet hanhaba (half-width) obi, which is barely shown and acts as a support for her skirt. The violet skirt she wears is called hakama, and it is of the 'andon' (skirt-style, ceremonial) variety.

Her shawl is a generic purple shawl of unspecified material- probably wool- and the necklace she wears is a type of jade necklace worn by Japanese nobility in the pre-Heian periods. It was possibly owned by her ancestors (?) and is extremely old. Her hair ribbon, which she wears to tie back her hair when traveling, is made of purple silk- and is possibly a recycled koshi-himo. She also uses similar hair ribbons in pink and rarely, white. Her shoes are a type of sandal called "zori" and are worn over split-toed white socks called "tabi."]]> original characters, japanese, kyuubi, kitsune, manga, anime, drawing, webcomics, something found, hikari-chan nonadult Image/Traditional Art SnowFoxCreations http://uc.artician.com/members/0/3/3080/avatar.png Copyright 2009 SnowFoxCreations http://snowfoxcreations.artician.com/portfolio/Wishful-Rain/ http://snowfoxcreations.artician.com/portfolio/Wishful-Rain/ Fri, 13 Feb 2009 16:41:30 -0500 Wishful Rain A drawing done with Sharpies and a Copic marker (for the very pale light pink.)]]> sunny bunny, bunny, drawing, kawaii, cute nonadult Image/Traditional Art SnowFoxCreations http://uc.artician.com/members/0/3/3080/avatar.png Copyright 2009 SnowFoxCreations http://snowfoxcreations.artician.com/portfolio/Lady-of-Butterflies/ http://snowfoxcreations.artician.com/portfolio/Lady-of-Butterflies/ Fri, 13 Feb 2009 16:38:20 -0500 Lady of Butterflies This took about 8 hours in all.
