Wow, it's been a long time since our last post! Sorry, we suck.
We will try our best this summer to make up for our lack of posting!

As my first post back from a long hiatus, I'm going to post what is possibly one of my favorite things that I have made.
It looks incredible and is totally representative of the person for whom I made it.
Sorry for the low picture quality, these are the best ones that I have.
Yeah, that's right, the Miami Dolphins have reverted back into their childhood forms.
This project all started when my ex moved into a condo with a ceramic cherub wreath hanging in the back patio. As a joke, his dad sad "no matter what happens, you have to keep that wreath."
So as a Christmas present one year, I made the wreath something that he would want to keep, no matter what happens.
I started by cleaning the wreath and priming it with white paint.
Next, I went through and started painting all of the leaves Miami Dolphins aqua blue and orange.
When the leaves were completed, I got the names and numbers for each player that he wanted on a cherub.
I spent a lot of time on Google looking at pictures of them.
Once I got a good idea of what they looked like and labelled which player would be which, I started painting the skin and hair for each individual player.
After I had painted their hair and bodies, it was time to add names and numbers to the jerseys.
#13 - Dan Marino
#19 - Brandon Marshall
#23 - Ronnie Brown
#99 - Jason Taylor
#34 - Ricky Williams
And coach Don Shula.
When I finally finished painting all of the players (which took forever), I sprayed the whole wreath with a clear protective top layer and it was finally finished!
I wish I had some better quality photos of this thing, because these don't really showcase how amazing it actually is.
