So I totally made the Garrus wall scroll from this post happen. Sorry the pictures are not that great, I might be able to get better ones tomorrow in some sunlight.

This was a prototype I made to see if I could get this to look good fairly efficiently so I could make a bunch. I am proud to say that, having never sewn with a sewing machine before in my life, it somehow turned out okay! The fabric was printed at Spoonflower, and the scroll is hemmed and mounted on wooden dowel with a ribbon for hanging.

This one is spoken for, but I now have the confidence that these will look nice on people’s walls so I’m going to order more! I will be selling them online and hopefully at the conventions I’m going to (Fanime and Otakon so far) this year. I’m not sure what the price point will be yet either… I am still debating while I calculate the cost of materials and labor. I will post more information about them as I get to that point! 

Edit: Got a better picture this morning!

I made an imaginary mystery book cover for fun! (though it’d probably be spookier if it was still winter around here!)
