Testing, testing 123

Tired of hearing about the Jewelery expo yet? You arent? No? Can't wait to go? Well good then, because I'm there!

Can't miss me, I'm the monstrously green waternymph booth, number 6 I think.

There are some absolutely wonderful designers that have been hiding themselves very well on the grid, and I am honored to be nestled into the expo with some of them. Go go go, and discover some new people or some old favorites for yourself!

I've released a new set, Whiskey and Sunlight for the expo, and it will only be available at my booth there until the end of the event. (Thats October 11th, you dont have long to get down there!)

For those of you familiar with the Nightengale choker, it is my charity peice with part of the proceeds going to Heifer International.


As for Balderdash...... Jazz Funeral has been updated with a new bracelet, a much requested item. Its available for singular purchase as well, for those of you who allready have the set... but only at the main store as I was so manic working on the booth for the expo that I completely FORGOT that I meant to release it there. Bad Saiyge, No buscuit. By the time I remembered that I had forgotten, my booth had passed inspection and I did -not- want to ask Miriel to go look at it -again-.

There are a bunch of new little things scattered around Oubliette at the shop, by the by... The pumpkins are out, the Cemetery is for sale, There are Cauldrons, Fires, Corrupted Fountains and I have a few tricks up my sleeve that are on the way. Stop by, bring your camera, bring a friend, and a fishing pole... but get thee to the expo first!

By the way, Oubliette /Balderdash has a new Flickr group, feel free to contribute!

Moves, Releases, and the pondering of Passive Aggressiveness.

First up, Balderdash has moved on over to Caledon completely~! I'm still moving in, still working on the build, still.. working on the whole thing, but thats where I am now -grins- And so far? Much happier.

This week, I've released some steampunky gear angels as tree toppers and lawn ornaments, the large ones... lookie like dis.

I've put out the Christmas ornaments, they are all copy, and there is a fatpack under the tree that includes all the ornaments, the candles, the strands of lights, etc. This picture doesnt really do much for the justice department, but... well, you get the idea.

First Post!

You know, its really strange when something you used to do all the time, becomes a phenomenon. A social wave per se.  I remember hand coding html and typing up journal posts with a very tempremental capslock/shift key in 1995.  And ... I remember when blogger came out, and for me, things became more difficult, and infinitely easier at the same time.

  Starting a new blog, makes me terribly nostalgic for my old domain, and the -want- for another. Not that I really -need- one. Not now anyway.  

   And I'm not sure having a domain before I get my hands on another copy of Dreamweaver is wise anyway....  I'm lazy now that I'm not doing webdesign. ... but I digress.

   I'm moving here from Vox, mostly for store purposes, and its the store that got me thinking about blogging in the first place this morning.

   After an unfortunate incident, I'll leave it at that..... I have been feeling very much in the rut. Very unhappy and not being able to pinpoint why, without feeling quite a bit of pressure from some mystery source.

   Well, the mystery source, isnt such a mystery. Yesterday I got caught in a dervish, and am remembering the pure joy of being truly inspired and seized up in creating.  I think the process of actually painting from scratch, seeing a vision unfold, and doing so exactly as it is first daydreamed, is magic. It's a drug of sorts, and its really no wonder I was feeling so miserable. Because this feeling is like nothing else.

   I have a really hard time looking at my work and thinking that its any good, honestly.... but I am very happy with this project right now. Its flowing, its easy, and I  couldnt ask for anything else at the moment. I'm clocking in at 20+ hours of work so far, and I cant wait to see how it evolves from here....
