This is…wow. A full set of pieces, and a board, all made from clay, and hand painted. Utterly marvelous.

We’ve seen the pattern for Boo Bees before, but I love samarin’s explanation for why they made this: “My dad has a bright yellow sports car, and his liscense plate is stnglkab (sting like a bee), so i made him some bees – boo-bees to be exact!”

I’ve seen stress balls in the shape of pokeballs before. Hell, I’m pretty sure I have one somewhere, but this avid crafter decided to take it on herself to not only create a custom set, but by the looks of it, didn’t use the shop brought pokeballs to do it.

In this third part of our four part series looking at some of the amazing crafters that were selling their work at the MCM London Comic Con we’re taking a look at the Amazing Cake Co.

The Amazing Cake Co.’s stand was very busy when we visited it, and I think you can see why. Fantastic looking, and edible? I don’t think you could ask for more.

The Amazing Cake Co. had cupcakes featuring all sorts of different characters from games, as well as films and anime. My favourites, though, have to be the Portal turrets and the Minecraft Creeper.

The Amazing Cake Co.’s website is still under construction, so check back there frequently to find out what more they’ve been up to.

For May’s challenge, we decided to have a Black Mage Holiday. This had two meanings: blackmageheart got to go on a challenge break, and we were going to craft where Black Mage would go on vacation! Here is the description, “We are going to take the month of May to honour not only one of the most iconic images in classic gaming, but also our own favourite lady, the Black Mage! This is going to be a really fun challenge, and maybe just a little bit silly too. Where would Black Mage go on vacation? Let’s take the Mage sprite, and put it in any conceivable scenario. It can be in a video game, or in real life.”
The clear winner in this challenge was AgitatedMojo, with “Black Mage goes fishing.”

In second place we have RMDC, with his hilarious depiction of a Perler Black Mage playing table top games:

We had a tie for third place. One of them was Pyper’s entry:

And guess who else tied for third? Our very own blackmageheart! She gave us a photo of Black Mage’s lazy day(s).

It was a fun challenge. I’ll post more of the entries later in the week.
The current challenge is fascinating. It’s a coloring book with various symbols and logos from video games. You take one of the images provided and color it in, but using an interesting art or craft. There are already many amazing entries. I’ll keep you updated on this one!
