Christmas Spirit


Beautiful days while working in the gallery inspire me to re-organize.
The fact that I just bought the new Blackberry Bold and am waiting for my Canon EOS Rebel XSI in the mail helps give anyone a new temporary outlook on life as well.
Because I put forth more effort than ever in the last year to work on my crafting (and I've been more successful this past year than ever before) I've decided that if I am going to give in to this new years resolution craze, I'm going to pick something and really stick with it. I am going to work 3 times as hard on my entrepreneurial skills in 2009. I'm reading a book, "Craft Inc.: Turn Your Creative Hobby into a Business." So, that means that in a few years, I hope to be able to make a living from making stuff.
Things to look out for: 
I have an amazing printer (Epson 1400) that I haven't been using to its full advantage. Friends have asked about buying my art, but unfortunately I grow attached to pieces and the price I charge is out of even my price-range. (I do this so I can hoard it forever!) Fortunately, buying and making prints is an easy solution. I will be listing prints that range in price from $5-$30 on my etsy site very shortly. Some will be small and come as is, while others will be either mounted or framed in vintage frames. I will offer reproductions of my illustrations, as well as photographs of my 3D collages.

Iza want somezing from Elizaveta

visit her site at www.elizaveta.etsy.com
So this cool as shit girl bought a couple of knuckle rings from me a couple of months ago, and I have been stalking her etsy site ever since then. She makes the most incredible jewelry and makes you re-think the term "costume" jewelry. I literally want everything she makes. This newest piece called "You can ring my bell" is a total show stopper.
