Stardew Shrines

A thing I’ve been looking into lately is pop culture paganism/witchcraft. There are so many interesting ideas and ways of working to be found, and it’s really been a huge source of inspiration for my own path. One of the things I’ve done is made some shrines in a game! Stardew Valley was my game of choice, and I made some sheds to serve as shrines/temples. Take a look!

Shrine for Cernunnos
Shrine for Nehalennia
Shrine for Baduhenna
Shrine for Liyesa, pop-culture goddess of beauty
Shrine for the Gilded Three, pop-culture triple deity of fate, creativity, and stories

SDV Harvest Festival Card

~ marjolijnmakes ~ 2 Comments

During the last lockdown my partner and I spent a lot of time playing Stardew Valley together. At some point he challenged me into making a Stardew Valley themed card. I, of course, could not say no to this challenge

A card that looks like a tiered Harvest Grange display from the game Stardew Valley. The front has a sign with "Brightheart Farm", accompanied by rainbows and a rainbow heart. In the display are several items, in rows of three. A strawberry, a pink cake, a pomegranate, corn, garlic, pineapple, a purple bottle of starfruit wine, a yellow jar of fairy rose honey, and a white jar of mayonnaise with a blue lid. The items have coloured stars of gold or purple to designate quality. The top of the display has green swirling vines and pink flowers

I decided on making a harvest display as used in the Harvest Festival in the game. You get a grid of nine products to display, and display your best – and most expensive – wares. There is also a quality system in the game running from copper to iridium (purple). The stars on the items designate the quality. I filled the display with items we farmed and crafted, some specific to the game, and added the name of our farm to the front.

I used an exploding box card from Lawn Fawn as the base, and cut off the side flaps. The items were stamped using several sets from Clearly Besotted.

My partner loved the surprise card and I had a lot of fun making this fun display!

I also added a Card Gallery to the top of the page, where I display all cards that I’ve made over the years, including ones that didn’t get their own post. Please check it out!
