Red Hair Stick Arrow

This pretty hair stick is perfect for an archery enthusiast or just for someone who wants a unique hair ornament. Everything was done by hand; I even made the fletches from feathers I collected myself!

While it may look convincing, this little arrow is NOT for real shooting. It is purely ornamental.

The thread wrapping is sealed with clear nail polish. The rest is sealed with shellac.

For sale here

Hunger Games Inspired Silver Arrow Hair Stick

I’ve been on an arrowmaking kick recently and decided to make a hair stick arrow! It is hand fletched with real goose feathers I collected and cut myself. Why yes, that is helical fletching and thread wrapping! It measures ~ 8 inches long in total.

For sale in my etsy shop.

Here’s a photo of me teaching at the children’s archery range at an SCA event this weekend. I’m wearing my new hood and tunic.

Teaching archery to kids is very rewarding because they listen to what I teach and apply it immediately. They learn scary fast and their excitement shows clearly on their faces. It is definitely worth the occasional scare you’re bound to get on a shooting line full of kids.

I put this hood together last night because I’ve been needing another summer weight hood. The blanket stitch around the edges is simple but definitely adds a nice decorative touch.

I am seriously loving Legend of Korra. I will probably do a lot more fanart for this show.

You are a Fire Bender. Fire is the element of power, consisting of overpowering force tempered by the unflinching will to accomplish tasks and desires. Chances are, you are the type of person that will not let anyone stand in their way. If you see something you want, you go after it, and usually get it.

It was either fire or air. That sounds about right.

I hate working with colored pencils, but the colors came out nice. I think I spent a little over an hour on this?
