Vacation's Over!!!

Aw...it went by so fast! But I'm back now, and ready to get more stuff done

I should have some pictures of the costume I made up shortly - the drawing designs for them if nothing else. The owl turned out great, except for the jacket. Jacket was terrible!!!!! But that's okay...The Mermaid said it looked better without it anyway. And most people said the focus was the mask anyway, and that it turned out smashingly.

! I'm already planning for next year...I was thinking of some sort of bloody queen, in shades of black & white (and red all over!). If I start now...I won't have to take a full 3 weeks off again. That was way too long to just be at home sewing...all day. I watched movies constantly while I did, and I kept track of them - 98 movies!

Of course...a lot of them were old horror movies from the 30s & 40s, which are only about 60-75 minutes each, but still...that's a lot of movies.

My sister's working on designing an art room for me in our spare bedroom! The landlord even said it's okay for us to pull up the carpet and just use the bare concrete floor (easier to clean). So when mi hermana comes down for T-Day, that's what she'll be busying herself with. YAY! It'll be so nice to have...space, like shelves & stuff like that. As it is, I just have boxes full of things to keep the floors clear, and then I ransack the boxes when I'm working on a project, or looking for something, and the room becomes a mess, and I don't feel like cleaning it, because I'm too wrapped up in whatever I'm working on (there's fabric and stray threads, some measuring tape, and a box of spilled pins all over the floor right now).

Gimme Prints!

In the mean time, I'm getting ready for Xmas! Usually, I gift donations for people - various ones, depending on what they're into. This year...I was thinking of double help. I was thinking of buying my friends & family artwork from people right here on DA

I already got my dad something --->

(he's a plumber with a great sense of humor, he should totally love this

). I'd love to buy more, especially from friends, so man up on those prints!! If I've

'd something of yours, you'd be wise to make it available

And now it's time for... *drum rolls* ... The monthly ARTIST FEATURE!!!!

Kristina's actually been a friend of mine way before DeviantArt even existed. We both joined this fine organization here, unbeknownst to eachother! After high school, we sorta parted for a while, different sides of the state and all...but we ran into eachother on-line and were pleased as punch (at least I was) to find we had this common link...a sense of continuing community (since this was before the likes of Facebook & MySpace, at least in my world). Her art school days have really payed off, I'd say, and hopefully you'd say, after perusing her very deverse, beautiful, and oddly humorus gallery:

You can see more at [link] Actually, I t hink the address changed, slightly, but it should redirect you there. Regardless, you can definitely find more cool stuff from her at her unigque jewelry shop: [link] -- go give some love!!!!
