Etsy store!

Ive been working on my Etsy store,trying to add more categories and getting more serious with it all.

I have added some of my favey dolls there and soon to add a few new paintings,I need to learn to promote it better and to a lot a certain amount of time per week for it.

I have been working on a few watercolors and dolls as always but mainly my book is on my mind these days so I have been creating the characters for the illustrations and have chosen to follow a certain style of illustration for this and of course it is the harder option that I have chosen,typical of me,never can manage the easy way of things.

I have also made a huge decision to follow my heart and go back to full time study next year and complete my degree in art this time in the graphic side of things,so big breath here I go again,yipee.

A time to rest,A time to play...

Well its been a very strange week,Ive seen some disturbing things,some funny things,some heart warming things and all have influenced my creativity and my faith,its made me rethink a lot of things and I plan to bring a lot more emotion into my major art works and to make lots of pretty things to cheer me and others up!

I have been painting quite a bit,mainly watercolors for my Etsy Shop,just little bits that wont cost the earth to ship,I plan to do some crafting this weekend and of course finish up some dolls to put up on Etsy.

I also plan to get my dolls ready for the swaps and challenges at Nancyes art dolls and Art Doll Only,these are great groups to be a part of and the ladies there are so talented and encouraging,so if you are into dolls pop over and join us there.

Today I ventured around all the shops and scored some wonderful finds,I founds some cherub heads to use as box toppers and some pretty little dancers as well to use as box toppers,cant wait to use them,first I will give the cherubs some color!

I also manged to purchase a few thousand flowers to use on my craft works which I will post here when I'm done and I will be doing some tutorials in the near future on a linking blog.

Well enough for the night,its about 1.30 am here and I'm getting drowsy,so Ill finish up on this post for now...

Oh my..more boxes!

Well its now 2.20 am and for some very strange reason I'm at my pc doing the blog thing,go figure.
Anyway I have quite productive despite not feeling to good,I am sad to say that once again boxes have managed to make and appearance in my creativity,I just cant resist them,I'm working on 10 at them moment,I don't know why I do it,I must have about a hundred or so scattered around my home and studios.

I have been journaling as usual and enjoying it muchly,also my large art works are now hanging in a new design gallery which is nice as it gives me more space in the bigger studio,so I can work big again,yipee!

I purchased a great glue gun today,it is big and works like a dream,also picked up some cool sculpting tools as well as some pretty nice paint brushes,I never do have enough,I use different ones for each medium so I need lots of brushes.
I also restocked my paints,I needed more for the inside studio,I purchased large bunches of fabric flowers and pulled them apart to make some sparkly flowers for my dolls,also found some scrummy beads for my crafting and glass dangles,this has been a week of stocking up,working,creating,designing and learning,a good week really,if only I didn't have this pain to manage,well it wil lebb to a manageable degree soon,it always does.
