An exciting Adventure Time announcement!

Those of you who follow me on instagram probably saw this yesterday, but I am so excited I had to share it with my blog readers too!

A while ago I was asked to contribute to an upcoming Adventure Time Crafts book for Cartoon Network, and the book comes out next Tuesday! Today I got my preview of the book and I am SO excited to share it with you.

There are tons of amazing tutorials by some awesome crafters; The Slivered Blade, Chalkboard Nails, Yummy Pancake and the book itself is created by Chelsea from Love & a Sandwich.
My particular tutorial is for painting your own Treetrunks shoes!

The book is available for preorder on Amazon now, but it's officially out on October 7th.

Chelsea has already posted a free tutorial from the book to make some awesome Adventure Time Finger puppets. Check it out here.

Rainbow Pinata Cross Stitch Pattern

As you probably saw in Sunday's blog post, my newest craft addiction is cross stitch. I initially started is as part of my uni project, but I think I'm going to continue with it. It's been a much more relaxing way to stay occupied on long tube journeys than playing angry birds and pet rescue saga!

Besides a few little cacti, this Rainbow Pinata is the first proper cross stitch project I've done in years. It's inspired by my Mexican Project and the adorable Adventure Time pinata Manfried.

Here's the pattern for anyone wanting to stitch this!

Adventure Time Vans OTW

Remember these Vans from a while back? Well here are the finished ones! Adventure Time will always be one of my favourite subjects to paint, but painting them on some awesome Vans OTW makes it even more fun.

Beautiful Ukuleles from Chopstitch

Today I wanted to share with you kick ass work by my sister-from-another-mister, Ginge (Chopstitch). Ginge had recently started painting ukuleles, and they're pretty freaking awesome. If you don't already own an Adventure Time ukulele you should probably get one and learn the Adventure Time theme on it right now.

Ginge sells more of her happy creations on her Etsy shop Chopstitch. You can email her at chopstitchcrafts@gmail.com for all custom ukuklele orders and enquiries.

 

You can follow Ginge's cute creative works on her:

Desk of the Day - Adventure Time Vans OTW

I've been working on these shoes for a little while now, and I'm really enjoying working on them. They're one of my favourite themes - Adventure Time! And I've included a load of characters that I don't usually get to paint on shoes... Cinnamon Bun has been one of my favs to paint.

Can you guess which characters all of these are?

How to exercise Ice King style by Confessions of a Book Pimp

Hi guys! I have a fantastic guest post today bought to you by Joie from Confessions of a Book Pimp. I first approached Joie to do a guest post on the blog when I noticed her amazing fitness cosplay posts! She has done many of my fav characters, such as Anna & Elsa from Frozen and Princess Bubblegum. It sounds like she has many more interesting cosplay ideas to share so be sure to check out her blog for updates!

More Ice King // More Adventure Time

Hi! I'm Joie Fatale and I blog over at Confessions of a Book Pimp. I'm a lover of books--especially Fantasy, Sci-Fi and Comics--and I have quite a few fandoms. For 2014 I'm trying to get in the habit of eating healthy and working out. One of the ways I wanted to keep myself motivated is to keep my goal of wanting to cosplay, a part of the actual working out bit! And thus, Workout Cosplays were born! 

I picked the pieces for this based on the Ice King (I've also done posts on LSP, and, Princess Bubble Gum). I like the Ice King for his eccentricity, and though I dislike his creepy factor **shivers** I like his determination, and I hope to harness that into my own working out!

Items featured:

1). Obsedian and White Nike running tights

2). Under Armour Women's Heat Gear Sonic Print Shirt in Blue Water Hex Print

3). Lole Women's Jacket in Blue 

4). Ice King Swimsuit from Black Milk

5). Arm bands for wiping away sweat from the workout to keep cool by Nike in blue

6). Women's KMD Sport blue/yellow/gray 

7). Intensity Frozen Rope Headband inYellow Black (to pull off the crown)

And here's an Ice King themed Playlist Joey created to work out to:
