Fantastic Harry Potter - Ollivander's Wand Labels

Saturday I had the awesome experience of making Harry Potter themed wands, straight from Ollivander's!
We used a technique utilizing rolled up paper, glue, and hot glue, painted and sealed with modge-podge. We also made Hogwarts wax seals with hot glue stamped by my "H" seal I bought through e-bay, and then spray painted with a coat of authentic red paint.

I created these beautiful designs to go on the Ollivander's themed wand boxes that each magical wand was placed in. We spray painted shoe-boxes black and then printed of these labels with real wand types from the series. Can you guess which wand belonged to what character?

Graphics Fairy provided the lovely french base for the labels, which helped create an antique feeling to the box. Have to create a sense of authenticity to a wand shop established in 382 B.C., afterall...

Three piece Coral artwork

When I had my burst of creativity, I decided to make these three coral pieces to reflect my underwater inspiration I was drawing from my experiences getting scuba certified. They were all created in illustrator and can be downloaded in the links I'll attach bellow.

Again I printed these off on photopaper, as 5x7s, and inserted them into an IKEA Ribba frame.

Stethoscope Illustration

Download the .eps for Illustrator here. I created this as the front cover for my schools Student Nurses Association yearly scrapbook. I wanted to make something unique but classic, that represented our school colors as well.

Here is the entire SNA Scrapbook for my school, created on Shutterfly.

Nurses for Bon Jovi - Bad Medicine

My nursing-buddy is a HUGE Bon Jovi Fan. For her birthday/ celebration-of-end-of-first-semester-of-nursing-school, I created this design and put it on the back of a t-shirt. The smaller patch design with the cross went on the front (originally was going to put it on the sleeve). It was fun creating this, and it really made me happy to see how much her face lit up when I presented it to her. For all you Nurses out there who love that rock-n-roll legend!

Disney IKEA Project

My in-laws actually have a "Disney-themed" room in their house, which functions as a guest room with Disney memorabilia. For my mother in laws birthday I decided to make these prints, which I placed in an IKEA frame which featured three slots.

You can find the frame from IKEA's website. IKEA Ribba Frame.

This is sort of what it looked like when the pictures were all in place. Cute huh!

Hope you have a magical day!

Disney Girls

My sisters and I are HUMONGOUS Disney fans. Yea yea, I know I should have grown out of this quite some time ago.. but there is something about Disney that brings back all my favorite childhood moments, and I just can't let go of that happy glimmer of time. I'm pretty sure nobody except my sisters know and understand exactly my love for Disney. Pineapple dole-whips, staying until 2 am, riding the monorail when nobody else is around, trekking through the parks in September when all the tourists have finally left.
Anyway, over the break when I was feeling extra creative, I decided to make some Princess themed silhouettes, coupled with their autographs from the parks. My goal was to get these printed for my sisters and I. You see, ever since we were little we've always sort of had our own designated princess. These were made from scratch in illustrator, and took quite some time to find each autograph and recreate it.

Mermaid Dancing League - Fat Amy

My friends and I have been infatuated with Fat Amy since she first hit the big screen. Pitch Perfect was just one of those fun movies that made you smile. In honor of that, I created a shirt logo dedicated to Fat Amy's specialty in "Mermaid dancing" which apparently requires a lot of "floor-work".

Here is the link to the .pdf download from my deviantart account, so you too can make your own Fat Amy inspired shirt. Mermaid Dancing League Shirt Design.
Simply download the file, then print off on "for color shirts" transfer paper.
