Just Keeping Myself Occupied...

Made all kinds of fun wine charms over the last few weeks, for all occasions! Sneak peek of my favorite set that I made:

I have a bunch of sets listed on Etsy that I'm trying to sell. I hate to part with them, I'd love to keep them for myself, but that is the nature of being creative- gotta have money coming in!




Coffee Cups on a Sunday Afternoon

New Etsy Listings! Having fun with ceramic mugs and ceramic paint pens! Made a test mug for myself:
Using a line from the Epilogue from Neil Gaiman's book StarDust, which is one of my favorite books of all time.



Also made another one for the Etsy shop:


in the immortal words of the Aristocats: "Ladies do not start fights, but they can finish them." Have a couple more in the wings that I'm excited to make!

Christmas continues on...

Two more coming in! I'm failingly slow at these, but I'm trying to balance drawing with Etsy and Etsy with finding a job and I'm swirling down the stream of craziness that is my life. Enjoy!

































Fun fact: When this song was being translated into modern-day language, some of the words got lost or mis-translated due to the fact that there were no actual dictionaries in which to record words. In olden times, the Four "Calling" Birds were actually called Four "Colly" Birds, suggesting that they were black birds given to be baked into pies ("Sing a Song of Sixpence"). "Colly" refers to the Old English word "Colliery", or "coal mines", therefore it was thought that blackbirds were called "colly birds" since it looked like they were covered in coal dust.
