Introducing Shelby

Meet Shelby...She has lived in my closet for months...Long months...Now she has life or death...Not sure which is more fitting...Based on the horse skeleton, she has been brought back to the light...What makes her the more interesting is the fact that she is part me and part my mother...Her tail hair is mine and her crest is my moms hair...Creepy yes, awesome yes.

She has helped me fine my definition and consistency...Unique,Colorful and Creepy, those are the words that define me as an artist...Thanks to Shelby I found my place and I have began feeling comfortable and set...After so long making so many varieties of art I have now honed my skill...I have arrived and been defined by a horse.

Spark, Spark, sparks are flying

There was a spark, and I am glad I got the spark...Hopefully this will just ignite the fire inside me to create like I used to...I was at least able to make the banners for my Etsy shops...Finally after some of the crappy work I was producing graphically... I am happy with them and hope good will come my way...Check them out...

the computer hates me...

Officially I have no laptop equaling in no photoshop...Rendering me useless when editing photos...But I took some good ones of the last thing I put together...

I had this box for months before I realized what needed to go on it...And without even noticing until I looked at the pictures now I see it Valentines themed...

Treasure or jewelry box. Valentines themed without trying.

Doilies and rubber stamp helped make this awesome box.

Ive got no time for pictures...

I take pictures of what Im doing and I just cant seem to manage to post them...That will be tomorrows task...

Ive been trying to redo my banner for this blog and for my Etsy Store and to open a new Etsy Store for about two weeks now...While I've been trying so hard to do it and failed I stopped and just went back to basics...found a font I liked and just drew it out...Seems the computers have been against me as of lately...telling me something about how I should be expressing myself... Since no photoshop or laptop wants to work with me...One wont turn on and the other shuts down on me...I still cant paint or have a reason to...But crafts still going strong...I have no pictures of course right now but I will show how I had the process began...Rather tedious for me but it finally worked out...

I am also working on a new project for a good friend but its top secret so I cant put pictures but I can say...Star Fish sets...Which has been bothering me for a week now...I had no way of visualizing it and this Architect who is an expert at conceptualizing gave me very little to work with...But I don't blame him he is very tired so the creativity might be a little off...But after I spent time just conceptualizing in my brain for the past three train rides to work...I have got it and I am very excited...Hopes he likes what I came up with...

Tomorrow its picture posting time...
