Figured I'd bump this with a handful of new works, and add that I'm on the prowl for Standard Grixis Planeswalkers (and some other mostly Black stuff).  See my wishlist for more on that, and check my tradelist for some decent new goodies that may/may not whet your appetite.

Okay, I'll give you that!

pssssssst.

You know what I think this really needs?  A playset of Hidden Strings.  Also going to second Timber's call for a one-off of Aethering if you really want to make your opponents spit. 

This deck looks like sooooooo much fun.

You guys are sweet  tongue

Also, I'll say that looking at these pictures actually make the counters look worse in my opinion.  Blown up to this size you can see the dpi of the print on the actual cards and every single mistake made while cutting on them.  As their constantly self-critical creator, it's a bit harrowing to look at those pictures for too long. 

Oh, and PalmerClan - you gots a trade.

Got on a roll last week and made four more counters.  Actually, I finished three yesterday that I don't have pictures for but I'll show those off later.

Monday bumpin'!

Saturday bumpin'

I make 3D Life Counters - and I put together a new Imgur album of what I have to trade.  If you see anything you like, open a trade!  Right now I'm working on some modern goblin action and acquiring some more shocks, but looking through tradelists is my favorite thing ever. 

I also do commissions (you can see some of my work here) so let me know if you have an idea for that.

These include:

Charging Badger Don't Care
Barony Vampire
Tragic Slip
Windwright Mage
Gray Merchant of Asphodel
Omenspeaker
Raised by Wolves
Aspect of Hydra
Weight of the Underworld
Spearpoint Oread
Nimbus Naiad
Observant Alseid
Leafcrown Dryad
Reversal of Fortune
Counsel of the Soratami
Auramancer
Diabolic Tutor
Veteran Swordsmith
Serra Angel
Goblin Test Pilot
Act of Treason
Awe for the Guilds
Disciple of the Old Ways
Elvish Visionary
Chosen of Markov
Markov's Servant
Grim Affliction

I also do commissions (you can see some of my work here) so let me know if you have an idea for that. 

I also also get lots of questions about how I make these things - and it' really fun and you should do it too.  I made another album detailing my construction of a Blood Artist Life Counter - check it out if you like pictures more than words.

Added some images of the Weight of the Underworld counter I made over the weekend. 

Aileen's Tacky Glue.  The Stuff of Legends.

Also I could imagine using string would be the stuff of nightmares for this sort of project.  On my earliest counters I used paperclips bent straight - those actually didn't turn out half bad when you consider that I MacGuyver'd them together from available office supplies.

I use 3" beading pins that come in packs of 50 from Michaels (though I'm sure whatever major craft store in your area will probably have it), cut them to fit just under the width of the card, then cut the third and fourth layer of the card so that the pins are sandwiched "inside" these layers.  I get lots of questions about that so I'm probably going to take some pictures of the whole process and show them off soon.

Bumpin! 

Also acquired a Temple of Enlightenment and Temple of Alice - check out the Tradelist.

Bumpin' because I got ahold of a Sacred Foundry and a Foil Satyr Firedancer.  Looking towards some stuff on my list, a Boros Reckoner being the priority (I only need one more!). 

Also did an experiment over the weekend and made a 3D counter out of a Foil Deadly Allure (pictures are coming) and another Awe for the Guilds.  They turned out pretty spiffy...

Personally I limit myself to one bump a day unless I'm still on the front page. I do read peoples threads though and search for trades I may be able to make happen.

This.  I think it's much easier to edit a post with what you have/want then bump it than to start from scratch.  And that way people can see any other activity that may be of import in the thread.

I try to limit myself to one per week, but then again I'm not too eager to acquire things (just get rid of them) as I imagine most of us are working hard towards FNM each week.

So I made some new ones. 

Diabolic Tutor
Disciple of the Old Ways
Chosen of Markov
Markov's Servant
Elvish Visionary (which is already spoken for)

I've seen them done with foils and they are fantastic.  I'm sure I could do those, too, but getting ahold of enough of the right foils is the trick in my neck of the woods. 

For instance, I've always wanted to do a Gift of Orzhova counter with foils (I've seen it on reddit, and it's glorious), but those are expensive and hard to come by.

So I made some new ones. 

Diabolic Tutor
Disciple of the Old Ways
Chosen of Markov
Markov's Servant
Elvish Visionary (which is already spoken for)

I added a few BNG commons to my wishlist so I can cut them up and make more counters. Also added a few (cheap) BNG rares and uncommons to go along with my s standard izzet and dimir decks.

And I completed some new ones, too. A diabolic tutor, elvish visionary, and disciple of the old ways. I should have pictures soon.

Bumpin' up - as I'm a bit snowed in, a bit bored, and probably going to miss the prerelease this weekend

Will you trade your Nivix Cyclops?

BAM=>Opened a trade

Checking out that image on Gatherer...

...yeah I could probably do that one.  Only real trick there is availability of the cards - I'd want 5 copies to complete it and I've never seen it at my LGS, and getting them shipped to me would probably add a week to the ETA (normally, I can whip one out in a night or two, even if I have to stop by my LGS to find the cards during my lunch break). 

But yeah, that one looks like the cutting might be marginally tricky but totally doable.

Now that Christmas is over, life is a little less hectic, and Born of the Gods is right around the corner, I figured I'd offer to make some 3D Life Counters in exchange for some trades! 

You can see my work here and here.  I've got a couple of nice ones coming down the pipes (including an Elvish Visionary that looks NICE) but I'm much more interested in what others might like from me before I get involved with ones that I've gotten personally invested in.  The only two things that really limit me are card availability (commons and easy-to-acquire uncommons from the bulk bin of my LGS is where my supply comes from) and how well the card art is able to be "cut" on for 3D effect. 

Also, keep in mind that I am in no way limited to my wishlist for trade offers.  If you got a good idea for one of these (and you don't want to do it yourself) (which is no excuse they're really fun to do and you should try it) open a trade and let me know!
