What’s up with the Blue Girl?

May 7, 2015

Sorry I’ve been quiet.

Not very good at this blogging thing, not that I don’t have anything to say but sometimes I just get too busy with other stuff and then I forget to blog. Bad for business if I’m not getting attention from other places like WordPress but I’m going to make an effort to change those bad habits and write as often as I can even if it’s late at night on this site.

To start out, I have begun to post my art on BoomBoomPrints.com for the past couple of months. No sales yet but I’m still hopeful. Their social media on Twitter tweeted out a new piece I made with sushi. I’ll have to post that here when I get a snapshot. My Zazzle site is still doing well and I’ve bought a lamp with my own design, several wrapped canvases with my photos from NYC and a fleece blanket. All were of good quality. So were the phone cases and throw pillows. I love their stuff!

I’ve been working hard on updating some of my older pieces I never posted before or hadn’t freshened up in a while. Mainly photographing the local flora and fauna around my home and work. Lots of interesting things to see. I found a humming bird nest. The momma came over and sat on some moss in a tree and when I took video and pics of her, upon watching what I had taken, I saw she was on a tiny nest hidden in the moss of a branch on a large oak. She’s so tiny and delicate and the nest isn’t much bigger. Funnily enough she was dancing around me yesterday due to my proximity (I think) to her nest. She just kept flitting around me anxiously I wish I’d been able to take video.

Lots of pics of squirrels, mostly pregnant ones since it’s that time of year everything was nesting, feeding and awaiting babies. Plenty of momma squirrels and momma mockingbirds. I’ve seen one with her fledglings. They were play fighting and following her around my work place as they learned to fly, hunt and be fed by momma. I’ll have the post the pic I got of a momma bird with a worm in her mouth and another with the babies.

Guess that’s it for now.

I’m not dead!

October 5, 2009

It’s been a long while since I’ve written and I apologize. I’ve had some minor issues going on which have kept me busy and I got distracted by the fact I love Dresden Files and started reading the books. I’ve actually managed to read all 11 of the DF novels of which I’m still finishing up the eleventh.

Other than that, Zazzle has lots of new goodies including Flyers, Rack Cards, Invites and Binders to name a few in their product line. I’m working on creating some designs for these once I get back into the swing of things.

I also wanted to mention, I have signed up for the NaNoWriMo which I hope I’ll be able to survive and actually finish. I think I’ve maybe made it to 5000 characters if any but to multiply that by 10, OMG I’ll have to really have a great story. I know I’m a wordy person (just ask anyone who knows me) but being talkative and being able to write 175 pages is so different. LOL I’m working on picking a theme / plot. I would really like to see how well this goes as I did have past aspirations of being a writer. I even wrote a story once for my HS creative writing class way back when and sent it out. I’ve also written poetry of sorts. I have skills but just have to get back on that bicycle and try pedaling my way to the finish after so many years off the horse.

I should be updating more soon. I am going to start working on some designs for the upcoming holidays. Don’t forget to contact me for commissions.

Sort of busy…

July 22, 2009

Been trying to get over my allergies and this heat wave, but in the meanwhile I’ve been getting lots of requests from friends and family to do small pet projects for them.

I’m currently working off and on on the following:

  • Mermaid sneakers
  • Gypsy belly dancing girl for business cards
  • Mermaids in general
  • Asian styled designs, people etc…
  • A tattoo design or two
  • A book of poems / photos of a family member
  • working towards entries in some contests local and otherwise

So I will write when I can but in the meanwhile,  check out my shops. I’ve put a few new designs in my Zazzle shop.

Wanna make your own “fabric” designs?

April 15, 2009

I’m the kind of internet user who makes really different searches like “Japanese Scrapbooking” on Google to see what comes up. My main reason behind this seemingly odd “Asian” oriented search online was to find freebees like images and pictures they give away for use by visitors who patronize the site.

While searching on this particular subject of scrapbooking from Japan, I found a neat site called “Spoonflower.” They are a company out of North Carolina and  currently in beta. They are what you might call a “diy” online fabric shop. So instead of going to say a box store and buying someone’s random fabric design, you can upload your own designs and have them randomized so that it creates a neat design. You could even just do a single repeat so it shows up enough per yard to make a doll design or puppet.

At the moment they do not let members sell to others for profit but on their site they do state they hope to allow that in the future. You can even get a swatch of fabric with your design to see how it would work for about $5.  I’ve already added a few designs.

Check it out. It’s a neat site and I’ve already found some really nice designs by other people.
