What did I tell you

About looking at our crotches?

This is exactly the kind of ridiculousness that hangs out in my head. I wonder sometimes if etsy shoppers, enticed by my store, ever come here looking for the source of the je-ne-sais-quoi in my pieces,  and then... here they find... me.
But!! There are some out there finding magical eye candy in my stead. Like this one who does so for the goth girl in all of us. And there's certainly a little goth girl in me. I actually used to be goth in high school- can we say combat boots with antique black lace tops? and hot pants? with funky black tights?  and Egyptian eyes? Yeah.
ANYWAYS- She Walks Softly, fun for the whole family (of voices in your head). Like this:

A medieval unicorn cookbook, 100% real:

An artists who crotchets icons:

Gorgeous group shows including like for example:

Artists who I can dig:

(Sorry Penny/Sparrow)

Girly fun:

And things that make me feel I'm not alone among humans:

And much more than can fit here. Because I gotta pee. And some of you could care less and just wanna see my jewelry.

I did post these two today:

Blood of the Vine II.

Blue Belles.

But etsy stopped letting me upload photos. But wait, now it is letting me. Well, maybe I'll list more later, I gotta get to making already.

  But-and-plus-also, I have a whole new sale section. Maybe take a peek, I dunno. And-also-also, for the next couple purchases, I'm including ephemera packs with a nice variety of items, if I say so myself. Cuz I found myself with tons again, and I've already been destashing beads and bits via purchases, so now I'mna sneeze paper all over you. I always feel like destash is somehow like sneezing on someone. Tho I don't destash crap, of course. I'm brave enough to realize when things need to be tossed or given to Goodwill. Thus shall you never see me on an episode of Hoarders.

Still, yo, Imna destash all over yo face!

dinnaforget said...The single idea of using steel wire, for instance, has freed me to experiment without the fear of wasting all the sterling & gold I used to believe was an essential material for a serious jewelry artist.
-AMEN!

Come to Dust.

alteredarcheology said... This is the first comment I'm ever leaving on a blog . . . I am SO happy that I found a place among you.                                                                                                                                                                                                       --D'aw! Welcome, welcome. See all those little plastic baggies? Full of crack. Here, take some.

quisnam said...I'm a little shy about commenting on blogs...  you've helped me to find my artistic voice and be brave in my work.
--I am such a sucker for shy folk its retarded. I am so protective of the little guy, I guess. Whenever you feel trepidation, you really really have to make an effort to channel your inner badass. Don't let anyone step all over you. Any of you shy gals out there, I'm talking to you! Any of you non-shy gals, if you see someone taking advantage of a meeker person, it's your responsibility to stand up for universal justice in an unjust world.... I'm veering way off topic.

shibui said...The other thing I like to use. If you have a priority box but aren't sending your package priority. Just pull the seam apart and retape it inside out!

--I've always liked the idea but i remember hearing they specifically don't like/disallow this. have you done it and had success? You can also turn boxes for poptarts and such inside out. And stuff it with plastic shopping bags. Which I'm sure none of you use in stores any more!

What Is Our Span.

Beatnheart said...I felt a bit Fred Sanfordish using all old bags and such to do my packages and now that you made it cool I don’t have to worry about that one. 

--DID EVERYONE HEAR THAT? "NOW THAT YOU'VE MADE IT COOL." !!! Now I need to clean up the pee I seemed to have sprayed everywhere when I was convulsing with laughter.

Alice said...I've been wanting to try Esty, but each time I think about actually doing it I come across a bit of negativity. 

--It's not as easy as anyone expects. It is a real, full-time, entrepreneurial business in that you can invest tons of time and money and not succeed. It involves tons of photography skills which isn't what most of us are in it for. There's more competition than you can imagine. There's price competition. If you do it, you can only be successful if you think about it as an education, not as an income. Aside from that, I love it to death and would kill myself if etsy was suddenly erased from the world. End of sermon.

As Chimney Sweepers.

Nobody on earth obsesses as much as I do over formatting. I press 'return', check preview- the space is too bit. I erase it, check preview- now everything's too bunched together. I do this for every single line here and I drive myself crazy. Why does blogger's spacing make a double line for every 'return'? Anybody have any idea what I'm talking about?  Awww, shut up me!

Aaaand... scene!

Bunnies on my desktop

So, I'm late to the game on Cute Overload. I'm like a grandma that just discovered cellphones. But I look through it starting at page 600, sometime in 2005, which is pre-historic in internet time, and every so often find something I have to save on the desktop for the hubs to awww over later. He has a weakness for bunnies, like this one pretending to be a chinchilla:

This belly-warmer model:

The oversized foot:

The paws:

The freaking tongue:

And of course, Emo Bunny:

who wishes to be left alone to write his music.

Help with DMS

It's like PMS, but the D stands for During.
And watching these relieves some of the symptoms:


from here.

naughty palace, stupid disease, flying saucer

From Engrish.com, any ESL teacher's favorite stress relief.
Can you tell I'm on the 1st day of my period?

While I'm at it, this one is not so much funny as genius:

I'm feeling unloved b/c I haven't sold anything in a while. Especially not any big, significant piece.  I should lower my prices. Or raise them or do the hokey-pokey, what do I know.

Another attempt to fight PMS.

This one starts slow, but builds to a too-much-I-can't-take-it crescendo.

This is a WTF that made me almost pee my pants.

Sketchy Bunny

I had no idea about this terrifying phenomenon.

Maybe it's just the lighting, though.
