Monster High Lagoona Lalaloopsy Doll, ACEO Sunday sneak peek, ++ ramblings

 Uggh, hiii

So...currently existing in a haze of frustration of myself. Well, I'd say it's more like a mist. Not too thick, just...annoying. Yes, I am annoyed at being continuously frustrated with myself. Does that make any sense? Who knows.

SO, I have FINISHED some dolls! Emily the Strange is complete and pretty much ready to find a new home- I need to draft a listing for her, though I suspect I may run into a weird copyright issue trying to list her on eBay. I've already had issues trying to get her Certificate of Authenticity made up. (ramble happening) Normally, I order out for the doll COAs, as I wanted a nice, smooth, perfect looking card. However, the place I order from is refusing to print up her COA as it goes against their copyright policies...Fine, I will print one up myself, fiiine, ughhh.  

Oh, the printer is out of ink. Right-o, I have another cartridge ready to go. Oh, well, it doesn't recognize the black cartridge. Cool, coolcoolcool. So, I am currently without in house printing abilities until next week sometime, whenever my new ink gets her. yey.

Because I cannot list the Emily doll just yet, I have decided to list my Grretle doll- she is a Monster High Lagoona Blue repaint. I was highly inspired by another doll, from a different company (MGA's Lalaloopsies, the Furry Grrs-a-lot character) and I gave her an '80s twist lol!  Like, a cooler version of Jazzercize than I remember my mother dragging us to. Some pictures:

Grretle was part of my personal collection for 2 years, I just never got around to listing her, and then I grew attached!  But I'd love for her to find the perfect new home, so I can make other dolls!

You better believe I had a wicked good time making her giant boots with the furrrr...


So, Grretle will be going up for auction tomorrow evening (Saturday, June 25, not sure what time exactly but EST) and she will also have a Buy it Now price (that disappears if a bid is made first).  HOPEFULLY I will have myself together enough to come back and post the link to her auction here tomorrow...but if I do not, you can always see EVERYTHING I have up on eBay by clicking HERE!

Hmm, oh! Sneak peek, anyone? This upcoming Sunday, I will be listing "Tiny Bear" for auction- an original ACEO illustration, very fantasy, a little weird:

Once more with the eBay link: Em's art on eBay

So, next week I will hopefully be showing off the new Emily the Strange doll.  I feel like...ugh. I just feel ugh.  Low motivation, low energy.  Oh yeah, and I will be redoing my website shortly, so it might look a bit different over there soon. It's such a mess, I just want it streamlined, galleries be damned! LOL!
Anyhoo, hugs to all y'all xoxxo

 Oopsies, it's been two years... I've been making art that whole time, but keeping up with all the online stuff is just not my forte. I don't even mess with social media anymore- a decision that was made for my mental health, and you know what? RECOMMEND. Anyhow, a quick update- I have hashed out a schedule for updating my "online presence" on a regular basis- once a month I will update my art galleries , my blog, and my web shop with art, prints, news, dolls, whatever I have going on.  Hopefully, I will not fall off again and disappear into the void. Here are some custom dolls I've made (and since sold) in the past two years: These ladies, along with others, will be added to my doll gallery eventually. I am *really* behind with the updates, y'all. I do apologize.  Oh, what else...I have been considering re-opening my etsy shop, I am hesitant, because is it necessary? Another thing to keep tabs on...I'm not sure yet. In the case that I do decide to, ...

To the Nines "Home" ACEO series - complete!

Image
Well, it's finished! Yaaay!! There are so many little details, and I am really quite happy with how it turned out.  It is more muted in color than the previous To the Nines ("Wishing"), but this was purposeful. I wanted a bit more cohesion in the whole piece, so I chose a color scheme for the entire image this time. Usually i don't plan the colors out, i just pick one or two and then add whatever I want during. But sometimes it is nice to have limits lol! Here is the full image: At any rate, let me explain again my To the Nines series.  It is essentially a set of 9 complete ACEOs that also make up a larger story/image.  I am rather partial to puzzles and things that fit together but are different. Also, it seems to speak to my need to visually organize everything.  "Home" is the second work in the series (You can view the first work "Wishing" HERE ). I have plans to continue this in the future, though at the moment I am a little behind on other th...
