Hello, Hello!
I am alive and fairly recovered from my concussion though the dizziness and pain kicks in still I am so much better. I hope the new year has found you all well and surrounded with many blessings, and for those celebrating the Chinese new year on Monday as well!
So I was called out by a friend a few weeks ago about how I haven't been consistently producing for my online shop. It wasn't a big surprise, I have been resting on my laurels. Sure I've had private orders but honestly how do I expect to attract new and keep my current fans/customers interested with irregular stock times, slim to no blogging, and really no reasons for revisits. Perhaps because I make OOAK items and I have been attempting to nail down a direction and a voice and I compare myself to people I am in awe of who either have large production facilities or work in different fields than I that it feels worse than it is. I have to remember I've had 3 offers from large companies so my stuff really can't be all that bad. I will write it off as a combo of bad time management/new year blues/and perfectionism and shake it off to go on to bigger and better things.
In other notes I am looking forward to the former OWOH event now called OWOA and is looking to be held in March. I am hoping in the next month to sort out shops ( http://msnovembertuesday.deviantart.com , www.zibbet.com/MsNovemberTuesday , http://msnovembertuesday.etsy.com & www.zibbet.com/wednesdaywitch ), I don't expect my WednesdayWitch etsy shop to see much if any activity yet. I love etsy but the fees .... well not so much. I do agree that their search is easier than Zibbet but not so much that I think it's above and beyond and not worth giving a fair go.
So I'll be seeing you again soon. Stay well!

au revoir

madara uchiha mask .... done

Posted to my google+ but I'll share here too. The lines are a wee bit off (I'll say it before you diehard Naruto fans start nagging me, LOL) but not too bad for a first go at paper mache!

So now back to production and I have some fab ideas and a few have been started! The first few are going to be for my Wednesday Witch shop and I'll share a peek likely on the fan page so be sure to drop in and like to keep up to date.

au revoir

up to my elbows...

Hiya all! Taking a wee coffee break while my first layer of mask dries and thought I'd pop on and say hi. I am coated in paste and newspaper ink but it's been great fun sofar. I have to say the skeleton I built for it could have been stronger (good to know for the next one) and I could have waited just a smidge longer to begin as the paste I used was too runny (though it thickened nicely) and I was terrified it was not going to hold it's form for the first bit. However it seems to be doing well, yay! Here's a peek...

Long wasy to go yes as there is so much detail that will need to be added but hey, it's a start! It's supposed to end up being a Madara Uchiha mask like this....

Well, that's it for me for now. As always drop into my fan page and give it a like to be sure to get the newest info and links to all my online spaces. au revoir xo I

Links time

Hello all! I realized that I never did give specific links to the items I made exclusive for Gaias. I've wanted to share the exact links to my pieces with GaiasGifts so, here goes.... http://www.gaiasgiftscrystals.co.uk/products.asp?Atn=View&pID=946 Rune set. http://www.gaiasgiftscrystals.co.uk/products.asp?Atn=View&pID=947 Greenman box. http://www.gaiasgiftscrystals.co.uk/products.asp?Atn=View&pID=944 Elf vase. http://www.gaiasgiftscrystals.co.uk/products.asp?Atn=View&pID=945 Scarab runes. Happy Friday all!

I swear I am alive and not left you by the wayside! I am very distracted in a custom mask that I am working on. Otherwise I am busy in practices with PMS and keeping up with my sons grade 8 year. New things to share and maybe a glimpse at the mask (if I am allowed) soon. au revoir xo I

new

Popped in to let you know there's new listings on both MsNovemberTuesday and WednesdayWitch Zibbet shops.

back to school

Back to school here means that I get to get back into production on a much more serious level since I have a few free hours on a regular basis alone again. It also means that I begin to stretch myself beyond limits since I'm juggling my son, every aspect of my creating (from design, production to sales & web stuff), my classes, my practice schedule for PMS, all the housework and anything else life tosses at me. It's always takes a week or two to get it sorted and today has started off as one of those days where multiple small annoyances gang up on me all at once. Not bad for day 2 I guess!
au revoir
