Posting as a link since the damn youtube video won't embed properly :/]]> Fri, 23 Dec 2011 12:34:32 -0600 But such is life. :P Anyways very last ditch effort to try to get a few more scores and comments before the end!



I've also got it up on my tumblr if you'd like to reblog I'd appreciate it!

Ok after my last submission dropped early and the one before it is tanking badly too... I'd like a little feedback or suggestions before I go and submit another idea. I'm feeling good about this but would like your suggestions.

Does it need anything else? I'm thinking I'd like to add some "etched" looking squirly curly-q's above and below the illustration but am concerned that it might be a bit too busy.

Do you hate the pencil drawing? Is the layout ok? Should I change anything??



I think it would look best on heather grey. But am open to other suggestions!

It dropped early and I don't see why. It's a good piece of well executed art.
It's not poorly drawn or poorly painted.

I get it's not funny. But it is pretty. And it fulfills the requirements of the Loves Drawing as being hand drawn art. I just don't get it???



]]> Mon, 19 Dec 2011 11:41:12 -0600 Extremely amusing fact - my Santa apparently lives like 20 min away from me. lol!

I'm not sure exactly when it arrived. It was delivered to my leasing office and they only called me yesterday to tell me.

Box!! Used a cut up threadless sticker thingy to cover the address :P


I slid everything out carefully and at first it all appeared to be wrapped in white paper.


Then I started unwrapping one and realized there was adorable little drawings on all of them!!






And then letters written inside each package!! OMG!

Super cute feather hair pin. It totally survived the packing and shipping. I put it up high.. the question now is will it survive being in the same apartment as my cat!! He's already been the demise of more than one feather hair accessory


A homemade candle! I love candles :D And I dunno about the smells but when I opened it up it smelled a little like cookie lemon cheesecake!


SO FREAKING GOOD!!! My husband and I ate it all last night!


Caramel covered apple gummie bears! Wow! I've never been a fan of "fake" apple flavoring but damn if they don't taste just like caramel apples like this! A new favorite

A collection of way cool old sci-fi books! Love them :D


I got TWO bags of these things! Totally homemade awesomeness. I've no idea what they are but half were gone last night hehe! It was chocolate outside with almonds. The inside was filled with some sort of caramel marshmallow amazing!






And a super nice letter and an adorable drawing of a kitty riding an appaloosa :) Side note - When I was growing up I remember one of the barn cats would sometimes sleep on top of the horse. So cute!


So yay!! Thanks for being an amazing Santa Kathleen!! ]]> Fri, 09 Dec 2011 18:53:51 -0600
Anyways... I thought I'd share with my threadless friends (and aquaintences).
I'll be popping these up on etsy later tonight probably.

I'm considering trying to put together a kickstarter thing so I can take the project and get it out there. That said I'm terrible with writing up things but I'll deal with that later I guess.

So basically my thoughts were that there were no "cool" yard decorations etc. I mean seriously.... ?? All I see is angel puppies and garden gnomes. Not that they're not ok for some people but I wanted something more fun and clever.

I start with sculpting the thing.. then bake and clean it up. I found someone nearby me with a casting studio who is amazing btw.. and taught me how to make moulds from my sculptures. Once I got the mould I had to learn how to mix and pour concrete... and believe me I never knew how tricky it could be! There are so many different mixtures and no real recipe.. and people who jealously guard their "mixes". Anyways... once out of the mould I clean them up and patch any air bubbles and then paint them with a special paint that keeps away mildew and some moisture. Some just get the classic white finish while others will get the full on color paint treatment.

Garden Tardis - the biggest sculpture yet..
I've got plans for a set of 3 of one other Dr. Who item at this time. Sculpture is in process and is maybe only a third of the way done. This next item will be the most complicated one I've attempted yet.


Late 1800's style Alien bust
First of the series.. there will be other busts coming in the future.


Bigger "little" green army men - Bazooka guy
These will be available in classic colors of green, red, blue, and khaki.
There will also be other little army guys joining the platoon eventually.


Bigger "little" green army men - Crawling dude
These will be available in classic colors of green, red, blue, and khaki.
There will also be other little army guys joining the platoon eventually.


I've got tons more stuff coming but the sculpture process is slow as is the actual making of the moulds themselves. But going forward it should be much faster since I've got the hang of it. I lost like a full months time trying to figure out a good durable concrete mix.

Any thoughts? Good idea? Sucky idea? You don't get it?

Like every artist I would love be able to make a living doing what I enjoy. So I really really really want to make this work.

Anyways I'd love to see other peoples current creative space set ups. :) Also if anyone has any suggestions about furniture or storage I'd appreciate it.

I love the "hobby table" from pottery barn but am not spending $1000 on something I'm going to be pretty rough on. But I don't want to just whip something ugly together from home depot since the space is part of the living room and anyone who comes in the apt will see it.]]> Tue, 13 Sep 2011 13:44:03 -0500
Anyone know what happened? :( I'm sad without my %ers]]> Tue, 28 Jun 2011 12:19:44 -0500
So I figured I'd be safe and order a Large tank. It's easier for me to fix it if it's too loose. So I ordered one and got it in and the fit is horrible! The Large tank tops are WAAAAY shorter than the tees.... barely goes over the waist band of my jeans. This is at least 3-4" shorter than my girls large tees.

And the biggest issue is the uber high cut neck contour, poorly fit arm holes, and way too short straps!! It's totally unwearable. I'm not sure what to do with it since I will not wear it like this :/

Is anyone else having this problem? Because I swear I'm never ordering another tank from threadless if they're this poorly / unflatteringly cut. I'm curious if maybe I just got a freak 'mistake' tank with a bad cut. But right now I'm not feeling like wasting any more money ordering another, which sucks since I wear tank tops pretty much every day and was so excited about threadless printing on them.

Photo evidence of bad neckline, bad arm holes cut too close to the front of the tank which show the bra straps, and the tank top straps that look like their 3" too short ...

I'm going to get married today!

Seriously! :D We're just going to go down to the courthouse this afternoon!
So it's not like we're having a fancy wedding party or anything. All of our friends and family live 3,000 miles away. But we both think it's finally time to tie the knot! We've been together for over 13 years! lol... we met in art class in high school and were a grade apart. We even went to prom together heheh.

Anyways thats it! I'm just excited lol. My boss is letting me take a half day since the courthouse closes at 4 and apparently doesn't have weekend hours. Don't really have any specific plans afterwards.. we'll probably go out to dinner someplace.

Neither of us really wanted to wait till we fly home to visit in August because we know our families would turn it into a "circus" (not the fun kind) and that's not what we wanted after all these years. It's a compromise. I always wanted a small wedding with really close family (like parents, siblings, and grandparents and thats it) but since I can't have that and it's either do it this way or have the Giant Traditional even I'd much rather just do it this way :) ]]>
