Listing Thangs

So I took some non-ipad pix and listed a ton of things just now.

Ambrosia.                                     Ocean Foam.                       Cloudy Skies.
And yeah these caged earrings are expensive but they sell so that's just supply and demand. I took a pair off reserve and raised the price and someone got a bit mad at me like I was price gouging.

Many Moons.                                    12                                              11
And I get that she was disappointed but art's worth what you can get for it and in any case, as an artist I'm destined to be poor no matter how successful I am...

                   9                                             8                                         7
But people don't know that, they're just comparing to stuff they see in shops. But I got all weird about raising the prices on these charms as well.

                   6                                             5                                       4
But then I got over it and raised away. So let me say it again: Art's worth what you can get for it.

                    3                                       2                                            1
There's this guy who puts paint up his butt then poops it across canvases who says art is whatever you can get away with. I don't know why but every time I think about art and its value I remember that. And I think, hey at least I'm not shooting paint out my anus.
This is on sale:
A Sacred Pair.
I have all this left to list:

Don't know what came over me to make more earrings, since practically all that sells is the caged ones.

These above'll be cheap.

I'm gonna be adding blogs to my sidebar later today, I'm not forgetting you lovely ladies that sent me links.
But right now Imna stop to brush my teeth and walk my dog like a person.

 Wait, I just did that and came back- MAGIC!

After using some myself, I'm finally listing these burnt babies which I chronicled here. Man just looking for that post I saw so much stuff I'd made...

Good lord I make a lot of stuff.

So yeah here's some more.

Look at these non-photogenic things....
I should go keep listing. Feeling like Sisyphus- make photo, edit, list, mail, make, photo, edit, list, mail....  Except if Sisyphus got aesthetic pleasure from pushing that rock and watching it roll. Yeah.

First Blerg from the 'Pad.

So I'm trying to see if I can blog from my dumb ol' iPad.

But to do so I have to take my pix with it.

Here's some of these caged things everyone's so crazy about.

These don't eve use the solder glob pins:

Does it make any difference even? Cuz they're much easier this way.

These aren't even done. 

Here's two pairs all tangled up together. Are you wondering why all the filter effects n shit? Cuz it's the only way to get these photos to look decent. And I can't blurry out all the lint and shmutz like on the regular 'puter... But if I use the regular 'puter I have to unplug the wifi and juggle routers or some shit.

But I got so much shit to photo and list! Ggggllluuuuuhhh... Maybe I'll just curl up over a few doctor who episodes instead. 

All this polymer shit proly not even worth listing. Yeah they're like lollipop head pins. This pic was not that blurry when i took it I swear. 

But seriously look at all this mess. 

Where do I even start?  

Anyone wanna come to Chicago and clean my shit up? Like, I'll give you a bunch of goodies... No?

Then how about some pix of my dad in his undershirt walking a cat?

Blanquito loves going for walks, he wants to investigate everything.

So I sent these pix to his fam in Uruguay and they think Dad's finally lost his mind.  Why is this text in blue? I don't think I like the blogging app y'all.

Someone asked in comments where I got all my images for resin- dude, the Uru-haul I just shared nary 6 posts ago? So yeah if I do tute them I'll have to give peeps some idea for where such images can be gotten without having to travel to another continent. Also a couple of awesome commenters shared their awesome blogs with me but I haven't added them to my sidebar cuz like I said, I've been glued to the 'Pad and the blogger app leaves a lot to be desired. Plus I'm lazy and I should be cleaning or something. 

But also guys it's my mommy's birthday today!

Here she is celebrating with some mealworms. ¡Feliz Cumpleaños Mama!

iPad Junkie

Well, I got my new iPad y'all. I've been binge-watching Orange is the New Black- OMG the hype is legit, that show's amazeballs. And that's from someone who usually likes escapist shit like Dr. Who. So do yourself a favor and don't stream Netflix you'll never see your loved ones again.
The Angelic Ones. Resin charm and connector set.
All I have to share is some more resin things.

Imna sell these as a set because it's easier for me to do so.
Lady and Baby Toes. Resin charm and connector.
Even if the set makes absolutely zero sense as a set, like this one.

This one has a bunch of smuges and crap trapped into the resin layers.  It might be too grungy.

Maybe I'll just lower the price? Or sell these together?
Take Her Hand. Resin pendant and connector set.

I've gotten requests to make these into my next tute.

Idk, there's more steps than I'd like to be honest. But yeah I know I'm proly due for another tute.
Exultant. Resin shrine charm or pendants.
I really like these shrine-shaped ones.
The Perfect Child. Resin charm pair.
Ok so then I ran out of brass and made these just using aluminum foil for temporary bezels.
Mother and Son. Resin charm pair.
Which is a terrible idea, never again.

Though look at those puffballs! They look like beach stones!

But yeah these took like 12 different resin pours and tons of sanding and shaping.

And the aluminum foil (or as the British say, football) gets trapped in the sides. Plus, as I emphasized on the listing, they're a smeary grungy mess. But idk, I'm embracing it. It's part of the appeal I've decided.
Baby Blorp. Resin charm pendant, inverted teardrop.
Look at that Blorp.

Why a headless baby? The head ended up in some other charm, it got away from me.
Lady. Resin charm pendant.
Some Vermeer.

Jeebus and sheep.
Faith. Resin charm large teardrop pair.
But yeah I need to order more of that very thin brass sheet for embossing. Dry embossing, metal embossing, like I used to use for my milagros.

Here's more I haven't individually photoed yet.

These used to be a big magic lantern slide Sparrow sent me ages ago. I gold leafed the back, broke it into pieces with a glass cutter:

And then as I resined the other stuff I'd pour very small amounts on the glass, small so as to not overflow. Still did on the top-left-most piece, it's a mess. But yeah then I very carefully and patiently drilled through the layers of resin and glass with my dremel.

Earring pairs?

Then I bailed these big teeth I got in the U using my cosmic rocks method. Turns out it was easy! Some had a bit of a hole, some I drilled a groove around so the wire had a place to sit snug and wouldn't easily break off.

I was showing my niece and neph some of my "new old things" when Carlos found the camera.

He told me to smile, so...

Marcela's golden locks.

Bingo decides what this party needs is his big grey ball.

He likes to oversee the operation.

This is how everything ends up with dog hair all over it.

Carlos turns the camera on himself.

Here's his feet while Marcela and I watch some Cartoon Network, our favorite.

So, I can't get the computer and iPad working at the same time because the computer won't recognize the AirPort device. I thought I'd just keep it plugged into the modem but the modem only has the one plug hole. Goddamn it. I even went today through the 90 degree heat to get the plug and only realized when I got home fuckedy fuck. AND I need something called a USB hub and I can't understand what my printer ever got plugged into this is impossible.

Don't you love reading about that shit? Anyone who likes the kind of eye-candy this blog provides, I'm sure your eyes just glazed over while reading that last paragraph. Pray for me.
