Music and Mayhem



The band I photograph, Azztacock, is now available on I-tunes with their album Symposium. Exciting eh?

I also received a photo of my face-up with eyes, hair and body!

Lovely girl eh?

Put up some shiny new stuff in my shop, so check that out! And as usual, please buy so that I may pay rent.

And Done



I know, two posts is one day, it's a shocker. But, I'm finished the BJD head! Yes, finished. Done. Shipping it out tomorrow. It's packed and labeled and ready to go!


I also made a little necklace for her, as it took ages longer to finish than I thought it would and I felt horrible. I ran out of spray fix and had to order more, which of course took way to long to get here.

Anyhow, I'm now accepting commissions for custom BJD faceups! That's right, I loved the experience so much I'm ready to do it again! I want to try some different things, face tattoos, vibrant colors etc. You want orange eyeshadow? I want to paint your doll!

Also going to take commissions to do body tattoos on the doll itself. I'm starting to make jewelry items specifically for BJD dolls, so if you've got something you want, talk to me and I'll see if I can help you out!

As always, I take commissions through my Etsy shop. Press the request custom item button!

Coming Up Pink!


That's right, it's weird, alot of earrings and paintings recently are coming out, pink.

Eh. Hardly matters. New earrings, new paintings up in my shop. Contests still running!

Almost done with that BJD head, waiting on feedback to finish lips and the eyes should be done today. If all goes well I hope to have her finished tonight, final photos taken and shipped to her mom tomorrow. Where I should hope to get finished photos of the doll!

Any who, things are still going about as well as can be expected. I'm broke, need money to pay bills(like rent next month) and to buy food with. My roommates shall be moving in soon, as my brother is moving out, and then it's painting time!

That's right, I'm painting the rooms of my house! Stairway, upstairs...etc. Downstairs is getting ignored because once I move out the ceilings are getting redone. Of course so is the kitchen...so the downstairs is being ignored.

OH! Belatedly, I was at the Raveler's meet up at Knitter's Connection in Columbus this past month! So many ravelers! It was fantastic, informative and lot's of fun to see all those people!





Went the next day for the market, bought nothing, but Sophia dear gave me the colors of yarn she didn't want from her grab bag! Love that girl. So I'm making some fingerless glove/mitten things out of this gorgeous brown/blue fingering weight. About halfway done with one glove as I'm sort of in the summer doldrums right now. Haven't even managed to finish Sophia's skirt. Although, admittedly, that's not really a surprise from me. For maybe six inches, it's supposed to be...oh, floor length. Eh...Maybe I'll get knee length out of it and be happy. I've got soooo much yarn for it.

Ah, and a picture of the doll head for you lot:



That's it for now, maybe I'll get proactive with my knitting. Maybe.

New



New earrings up, made with gorgeous cherry quartz I picked up from Cornerstore.

Along with the jump rings to make the chain, of course. I'm even making a pair for myself! Finally got the last ingredient to finish the BJD faceup, finally. So it'll be done super soon and I'll post pictures. Still hosting a few contests(check previous posts) and trying to find a job. See, I have these weird things called bills and ...no money.

If you'd like to help, you could always buy one of my lovely pairs of earrings!

School starts in little over a month. Joy. Actually I'm half excited and half irritated. . . eh.

Let's see, if I sold every item in my shop, I could pay my bills...that'd be nice. Anyhow, see you next time.

My Second Sale and a Contest or Two

Okay, I made my second sale on Etsy! Awesome eh?

And I gave away a free pair of earrings to one lucky person, she doesn't know it yet though.

Put up some new earrings in the shop:






Pretty eh? Okay, one of them is actually a charm, but it's Swavorski crystal and hematite, how can you go wrong with that? Gonna ride my bike to the post office to mail out that sale. Oh, and I have an updated picture of the head!



The spray fix for the powder sections was shipped, which means I'll have her done ASAP. I feel bad it's taken so long, I wanted to have her shipped back to her mother a week ago. Ah well.

Bought soap from Moonstruckmagic, an Etsier. Can't wait to get it!

Also bought some jump rings and cherry quartz chips in a game of tag from Cornerstore. Tag was a lot of fun and I'm going to try and do it again!


Lest I forget. Contests! I'm running my CARELESS competition through my Devart page, here.

My Thread Killer Contest is running here.

The Shop

http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5946642

Updates to the shop: New Earrings, New Watercolors, a Creepy Ceramic Fish and who knows what else!



The Contest

There comes a time when you realize no one actually cares about anything. But guess what? I do...not.

Which brings me to the importance of this journal. I've decided to run my very own little contest. Because I am bored and have nothing better to do.

The theme?

Careless. That's right, care - less. However you want to interpret that. All media are fine as entries. Contest deadline is August 30 (for the moment).

The prize? Ah, well here we go! 1st through 3rd shall gain recognition by being glorified in my journal for two months. First prize shall be treated to a commissioned work by myself.

Illustration of course. Because even though you might really want me to take a picture of a rhino for you, I don't have access, I'm sorry. Okey dokey, that's about it. I'll advert this everywhere and you all can decided how little you care! By entering the care-less competition!

Contest is on: http://alice-time.deviantart.com/

Another Contest for those of you on Etsy.

Kill the thread and win some prizes!

Also, my second sale will receive a free pair of earrings!


New Stuff!
