Crushing Defeat! Arrrggghhh

I know it's terrible to have an entire post devoted to just plain whining, but I think that's about all this will be. After planning it out all week, I spent all day today creating my first tutorial. I went over all the steps involved in making the pattern I created for my bracers. Hurray right?

These turned out well and I can't wait to show you how I put them together.

Nope. No hurray. If there was a hurray, I wouldn't have a whiny post now would I? :) Part of the problem is my technologically unsaviness (according to spellcheck, that's not a word but I'm keeping it) so editing and uploading was ground to halt. Literally. My whole laptop froze.

A bracer preview. I'm happy with these!

Even if I could have made that work, it turns out I rambled on for 20 freakin minutes! I won't watch a tutorial that's over 10 minutes, so I'm definitely not going to be forcing others to sit through something twice that length. I'm not that mean! So with that in mind, when I do get this all to work, I will be posting a tutorial on how I made my bracers. I'll also be making a written version complete with pictures (and if this whole video thing really won't work, it will just be the written version)

Okay, complainy post done. Thanks for your support - life is awesome again! Look out for my bracer tutorial, coming soon :D

Now run along and find something fun to get into!
