Easiest #artvsartist of my life, only 4 projects... My regular job consumes lots of energy and even though I knew this year'd mean a creative slump, it still makes me sad to see it captured in an image. But I'm proud of the things I tried, tested, learned and achieved, and I will spend next year doing some of the same. I wish living as an artisan was easier but I have a lot to sort out first: it's a long-distance race and I have patience

Collage of 5 pics: a vertical pic of the Warrior Nun and the Xena leather swordbelts, painted in metallic bronze and silver hanging from a metal bar; 10 metallic cross shaped leather keychains and a metallic Lórien leaf pendant; a leather chest shaped and adorned as a fantasy mimic, simulating wood, metal, horns and organic parts, with big fangs and tongue coming out from the lid; two unpainted leather carved hilts shaped as Théoden's sword for two new swordbelts, and, in the middle, a selfie of me, with long hair down, green hoodie and a proud smile

Hace un par de años, inspirada por el urumi, hice un cinturón espada de inspiración celta para una exposición. Me quedó el gusanillo de hace la réplica de la de #Xena, pero nunca tenía tiempo. Cuando me vi #WarriorNun y la espada fue añadida a la lista. Cosas pasaron, y cerré encargos y decidí reconectar con mi creatividad. Tomé la oportunidad de hacer algunos experimentos, y han salido bien, así que estoy contenta con el resultado. Espero que os gusten!

Five detailed pics of the Xena's swordbelt. The first, hanging from the metal bar on the stone wall. The second hanging from my hand, in high contrast, with a more detailed view of the base of the strap-blade, where there is placed my seal stamped, and clearer detail of the strap painting job. Third, also hanging from the metal bar but from the side, pic of the handle-buckle in my hand, and a very close pic of the crossguard and the superior part of the handle
Five detailed pics of the cruciform sword belt. The first a very close view of the pommel and lower part of the handle details painted. The second with the belt hanging from the metal bar. Third, pic of the on progress painting of the handle and part of the crossguard. Fourth, close view of the handle, lower part of the crossguard and part of the blade inscription with backlightning. And fifth, a front view of the belt rolled with the point of the strap showing from behind the handle
WIP pics. First, the layers of leather that conform the handles, separated, and the layers from behind placed face down to show the holes for the rivets and the metal pieces that join the straps to the handles. Behind, a pic of the handles mounted, glued, riveted, carved and sanded, but not dyed or burnished yet. Third, up right, very closed detail pic of the Xena's crossguard decorations embossed in the leather. Fourth, the handles burnished and dyed in red, and the strap-blades already painted in black and metallic silver, with the lightning totally from the side. And the last, the handles with the base layer of metallic bronze and dark gold, not antiqued or decorated painting yet

A couple of years ago, inspired by the urumi, I made a Celtic-inspired swordbelt for an exhibition. I had the itch to make a replica of the #Xena sword but never found the time. I came across #WarriorNun and the sword was added to the list. And then shit happened, so I closed comms and decided to reconnect with my creativity. I took the opportunity to make some experiments, and they've been a success, so I'm happy with the result. I hope you like them

Collage of four pics. At the left, a long pic of two belts hanging from a stone wall. They are shaped as swords, the buckle is the handle of the sword and the blade is the strap. The first is the Warrior Nun replic, cross at the guard and a circle around it, dark bronze painted, and a flat silver blade with some letters carved in it. The second is the Xena replic, golden-bronze guard and pommel, dark brown handle and diamong shaped looking blade, both painted in metallic acrylics, handle carved in several layers of leather glued together and all the piece aged to pop up the volumes. The second pic show both belts rolled, with the point of the strap showing over the handle, the buckle clasped and part of the blade at the side of the handle; the placing and lightning angle are different to show the metallic glow and the relieves, and the angle of the Xena replic blade, bending in half along the whole lenght. The last two pics are each of one wrapped in a metalllic bar at the top of the stone wall, front view, with a bit of the strap point showing under the handles and showing a different angle
Collage of four more pics. First both belts hanging wrapped around the metal bar, lightly angled to the side, Xena's replic closer than the other. At the right, two detail pics of the handles. the Warrior Nun one with a lot of tiny decorations painted in a lighter bronze in both the guard, the handle and the pommel, and the Xena's one with some decorations embossed at the guard, making it look like the brown area is wrapped in leather lace and some rivets simulating the pāua shells. At the bottom, both belts lying on a stone on their side, facing each other
Three more pics of the belts wore by a mannequin on a brown leather cuirass, the cruciform sword above and the Xena replic under it. The first is a front view, the second an angled view from the pommels side and backlightning, and the third is a pic of the back side, where the behind view of the straps: the Xena one with the relief at the long middle of the blade, and the cruciform sword has engraved and inscription between two crosses that says NDXOXCHWDRGHDXORVI

#Save campaigns are fan-led digital efforts to reverse the cancellation of favorite TV series. They've been instrumental in bringing shows like "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" and "Lucifer" back from the brink. The campaigns are getting more expensive and elaborate, but according to Paste magazine they are unlikely to work, and can be exploitative of fandoms. Here's their thoughtful feature on the subject.

I'm not an expert, but I know that streaming services are in a constant competition. By saving #WarriorNun from cancellation, Netflix has done a big and important move. Fans are happy that their voices have been heard, and all eyes are now on Netflix and the show. Disney should do the same with #Willow, because anything else would be foolish.
