This Deviation was a long time coming, no lie. I made this back in January or early February, it was so long ago that I don’t even remember. Then my camera died when I was in North Carolina, so we took pictures with ~Solyria’s camera. Then I kept forgetting to ask her to send them to me. But anyway, hopefully amends will be made with the final product here.

Anyway, this was a Valentine’s Day gift for my dear friend ~Solyria, combining her favorite non-canon couple (Reno and Rufus Shinra) with Victorian accents. It looks better in person, I promise.

I stained a box and fastened the art to it using Mod Podge. ~Sasheenka and =Vergilsparda666’s art was made into grayscale for this. I cut the art out using an X-acto knife, etc. I had some scrapbook accents that I fastened to the box using Mod Podge. The quote on one side of the box is “Whoever lives true life, will live true love” by Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

My ink was dying in my printer, which is noticeable in a couple of the pictures. I had to keep going, being pressed for time, but it doesn’t look entirely sucky.

The camera I used for the collage is Finepix Z by Fujifilm, and I highly recommend it.

Thank you to all the artists who helped me make a truly unique gift for my unique friend.
