My name's Kalah. I make handmade jewelry out of polymer clay themed after many geeky fandoms.
Here's my Etsy shop where you can order things I make
My tumblr is for my finished product photos as well as custom work and WIP photos. I'd also love to feature other nerdy crafts that I like, so feel free to link me to your stuff and I'll take a look.
I post many other people's crafts here as well as my own, if you'd like to see only my work go here: http://wtfcharms.tumblr.com/tagged/My-craft
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
(via Portal: Action Figure: Chell With Light Up ASHPD Accessory @ ForbiddenPlanet.com)
The protagonist Chell comes highly detailed in her orange Aperture Laboratories Jumpsuit. Chell is fully poseable with over 20 points of articulation and a display base. Articulation includes ball jointed neck, shoulders, torso and wrists along with insert molded ball hinged elbows and knees and more. Even more impressive is her ASHPD accessory which actually lights up and glows blue just like in the game and as seen in the full size ASHPD prop replicas.

THIS would be behind my Portal door!

ARTIST FOCUS: ANDREW (&REW) WILSON
Never one to take anything too seriously, Andrew (&Rew) Wilson’s light-hearted approach to life resonates within his work. Through his use of curves and bold colors to his choice of subject matter, &Rew’s work resonates the style of Junko but definitively stands out as his own with his attention to detail and use of humor.
Tell us about yourself. Where are you from? Where do you live now?
My name is Andrew Wilson. There are a lot of other Andrew Wilsons, and being an artist, you want to differentiate yourself, so I try to go with &Rew (ampersand and “rew”).
It makes sense to me sometimes, but other times it makes less sense. I’m from San Diego, but have recently moved to the PNW that means Pacific Northwest. It’s green, but super rainy. Blessing and a curse.
How long have you been designing/illustrating? What got you interested in art?
I’ve been doing art since I was a fetus. Much like cavemen, I would draw on the “cave walls” of my mother’s uterus. Too much information? Well you asked, didn’t you?
Honestly, I would draw with chalk on the sidewalk when I was a little kid. I would draw video games, since I loved them so much. Space Invaders on the street or Berserk on the sidewalk, it was great fun.
With the imagination of a four year old or whatever, you could get away with scribbling Pac-Man in chalk and thinking that you were part of the scene. At the time, it was amazing. Nowadays, you could Instagram those chalk P.O.S.’s and have a ginormous following.
I used to copy anime drawings out of anime comics before they went so common. The drawings were so bad. So, so, so, bad but eventually I stopped drawing from reference.
I’m at a place now where drawing from reference almost bothers me. There’s a place for that, but I’m not really into it. I just like to make things and stuff. Who wouldn’t want to do that? No rules, nothing to fail at – you’re making things!
If you have to start by copying, that’s alright. Get off that as soon as possible though. It’s a crutch, albeit an important one to youngins.
What was the question? Art. So I’ve been doing it for a number of years, but hopefully that’s twice as much time to me as it is to you. I need to get good. That might not be yet or now, but I’m well on my way.
