Lavender Luna's Cauldron is a husband and wife team of artists that creates pagan ritual tools and unique jewelry with a variety of mediums: woodwork, bone carving, and beadwork.
I've been very busy these last few months. I have been working on 3 beadwork projects: Sea Star Necklace, Celtic Knot Hatband and Ko-fi Pin. Last week I started a Ko-fi donation page for anyone wanting to donate to support my artwork at the price of a coffee. PayPal is supported on Ko-Fi. I plan on making a witchy brooch exclusively for Ko-Fi donaters. I realized I can't dedicate enough time to do Patron right now. Also recently I started a beadwork portfolio on Bēhance. The 3 projects I'm working on are updated there as well. I also plan on making some Celtic Knot bracelets for Pagan Pride Day.
I started a NSFW Instagram account, @nsfw_lavender_lunas_cauldron, showcasing my past and new NSFW artwork. I also started a group on Facebook, just for artists to share their NSFW artwork. Over 70 members in a week before we set it to private. It is closed to new members for now, but in the future we may open it again for new members. This will give the current (🌱founding) members time to create and share their projects.
As some of you may know in the past year, I've been focusing on beadwork; bead embroidery, weaving, and looming. I wanted to make something fun with seed beads and my husband drew this Little Guy for me. Since it is approximately 3", it will be a brooch. I found these pink/purple color seed beads at my local Dollar Tree and I was thrilled that these colors would be perfect for this particular project. I know some people are not fans of Dollar Tree but for the price, who cares, especially when I have to be careful on our budget. In the future, we'd like to do a female counterpart.We have several NSFW projects planned and once our Patreon launches, members will get first dibs on seeing new projects.
Not Safe For Work
NSFW Project #1, Mr. Spanky aka Little Guy
I recorded video of the outline process while testing out my two cameras. In the future, I'd like to record more progress videos of our projects. From what I've learned making videos this past week: using my Fujifilm Finepix Z; import the video files onto the computer; import video files onto my tablet to edit and create 3 versions of one video on the VivaVideo app; import new video files onto the computer and upload them onto VivaVideo, Youtube, IGTV, and Vimeo. This is the best I can do until we can afford better equipment. Another reason why I was testing my cameras for the best quality we can possibly do for our Patreon introduction video.
Part 1: A 20 minute video speed up of my first not safe for work bead embroidery project. I was also testing one of my old cameras on the tripod, a Samsung SC-DC173U DVD Camcorder with 34x Optical Zoom. Video quality is not so great.
Part2: A 18 minute video speed up of my first not safe for work bead embroidery project. I was also testing one of my old cameras on the tripod , a Fujifilm 10-megapixel, 3x zoom FinePix Z20fd. Video quality is better.
