A Ramble and Sunday auction sneak peek

 Hi hi!

I'm just popping in here to give an update- I have been off visiting family, and I am home for about 10 minutes before I go off to house sit for some friends.  It has been a rather busy summer- great to distract from the oppressive heat!  Honestly, I am tolerant of it mostly, as long as I stay out of direct sunlight.  I think I might be turning into a vampire, really, the sun HURTS me, my eyes mostly. They just start watering as soon as it hits high noon. Sunglasses help a little, but I tend to stick to the shade when I am out and about.

Ummm, not a lot of new projects to show, everything is still in my head or just chicken scratches on scrap paper.  I have taken a long break from the To the Nines project series.  I think I will save those for cold winter days, as they need a lot of focus, and I get distracted easily in the warm weather.  It's a seasonal thing for me- I gather a lot of inspiration while I am busy running around in the spring and summer- filling my eyes with forest plants and the way the leaves throw their shadows, all the birds and flowers, the BUGS!! etc.  Once it gets cold, I like to be snuggled up in my fuzzy socks and hooded robe, but of course I get antsy...so I draw and draw and paint and draw and sew. I suspect a touch of ADD, but I manage well enough to not feel the need for a diagnosis. I just...adjust. IDK. 

Anyway, a short ramble, and now here is this upcoming Sunday's eBay auction- "Creepy Green Light"


A solitary dragon, flying through the city streets at night, illuminated by the streetlights... This original ACEO will be listed for auction on eBay this Sunday (probably around 11am EST).  To see all my current art listings on eBay, please feel free to click HERE!

I am still in the throws of updating my website (UGGHHH) but I do have a new page for custom work and commissions HERE if anyone is looking for a special piece of art made!  

Alright, please stay hydrated and safe, all!! Hugs hugs!

 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...

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

Image
 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 ...
