Hello everyone :) I'm fairly new to Subeta and love it.

I have only been on the site for a little over a month now, but already I am in love with this game and this community. Everyone I have met has been so kind, and friendly. It is so refreshing to come across.

I am an avid video game player, reader, writer, and love to do art of all kinds. But my preferences are stained glass, painting, and ceramics. I love all things fantasy and dragon related. We have a huge fantasy/sci-fi book collection and tons of dragon statues.
I love to read Fantasy Novels, and can get lost in a good book. R.A. Salvatore is my literary hero, and his Dark elf trilogy of one of my all time favourites. Along with Mercedes lackey and Larry Dixon's Dragonlance Chronicles.

I love to create stories for my pets, often interweaving them together. Although many of these stories are still brainstorms in a messy journal, and thus are not ready to be shared yet. I really like to come up with art designs for them as well, and just have fun talking about them with my friends.

I hope to get to know you better! please don't hesitate to come and chat with me!

Welcome to Subeta! :D Stained Glass sounds pretty interesting. What's it like to work on something like that? O:

Firstly I want to thank everyone for the warm welcome!! I'm floored by the kindness of the people I have met on this site, and have already made some wonderful friendships! Always a pleasure to meet new friends :3 I hope to get to know all of you better ^.^

It's always fun to show my pieces to people :) sure I will post images below the tag here! I have been doing stained glass for about 2 years, mostly smaller works, and some commissions, But since my move to Australia, my gallery has not been properly set up to work on glass.

It a very interesting process. It's great drawing out the patterns you want and then piecing together. Glass is a difficult and rather messy medium, but it is very rewarding! It took me about a month or so to finish the last panel in my link, it is now framed in an oack reinforced frame, hanging in my parents living room.

I have tried many other mediums for my art and find that ceramics and stained glass are the most challenging and rewarding! I have several other pieces that don't have photos yet, but I have included a fair few in this post :)

Artwork (Clicky ^.^ )

"Song of the Raven: Sun" Ceramic tile, stained

"Song of the Raven: Moon" Ceramic tile, stained

"Star gazing" Ceramic tile, glazed

"Beauty is in the eye..."Ceramic Beholder Bust,

Wah, those are lovely! <3 The first two, the last, and the one of the two kittens are my favorites. :D It certainly seems like a challenging thing to do, but you're doing just fine I think. xD

Oh, that one's really nice. O: I'm not very good with traditional mediums, I envy people that can use them. xD

Your artwork is beautiful! I'd love to try stained glass sometime - I do a little bit of lampwork beading and have a fun little torch. I also have a mini kiln that has yet to be used because it intimidates me. xD But stained glass is something I have not yet gotten to work it, and it looks like fun! Your dragon one is really amazing! Love your watercolor/Photoshop one too.

Welcome to Subeta, hope you enjoy it. :)
