The Up and Coming New Year

Since I last posted I've done even more research on felt and came across other links to other things that are so neat. I got some really cool ideas and got inspired by some really good altered art artist. I've been thinking about the New year and New Goals for the year. I know I can't set anything in stone, because I don't know how it will be after my daughter is born. She comes first, so if she demands my 100% attention she will have it. my son was a very good baby and I got some art done after he was born, but every baby is not the same. I will know for sure I will be taking a break from art right after she's born. I have to figure out her schedule and get everything organized before I can get back into any art.
I have decided not to do my show next year at Stonewall Jackson's Mill Jubilee. There's no way I'm going to have my stuff together for it. I know when I do go back, I will be selling a lot of new products and some things I will not be selling anymore, including framed art. I'm going to try and focus on dolls more for that show. I still will have prints and some originals unframed. Framed art is really hard to move. Most of my customers don't want framed art, and it's a pain to do all that work of framing it and not being able to sell it.
I want to try and start selling dolls on eBay, but I don't know yet. I'm still doing a lot of research and I haven't even got most of the stuff I need to make my dolls. I will be selling lots of 2d art including aceos.
I want to draw some princesses with unicorns and castles. Some Victorian angels too.
Roy will move my studio in the basement soon. I still don't have all my building supplies, but I have no choice but to move it. I'll make the best of it. I really need to try and spruce it up or something. I'm going to have to set up better lighting too.

Felt Goodies

I have discovered felt for the first time. Ok, well I knew about felt, but never knew the possibilities of it. So i've decided to take up a new hobby. I will be making little animals and other goodies to. I've been doing research for the last day. I have some ideas of how I'm going to have my art in with felt. You will see new products as soon as I get some made. Felt bookmarks, mirrors, and some other goodies. Also after the baby is born I will be getting into polymer dolls. I'm not going to stop my main thing which is creating fantasy art, I'm just going to incorporate my art in with these. I know everyone has been wondering when in the world am I bringing out my products, well I'm really motivated to work on them. I haven't bought all my supplies yet, but as soon as I receive the ones I ordered off of eBay, I will be able to get a start on it start : )

Baby News

I went to the Dr. Monday. They did a ultrasound of my baby. I found out that I'm having a healthy baby girl. We are so happy. Can't wait to start buying little pink dresses.

I've started to sell on eBay again. I'm selling mostly aceos. They seem to sell faster than larger pieces. I still have morning sickness and it hits me mostly in the morning now. I try to draw only when I'm feeling up to it. Though there has been times when I'm just sick all day and I draw anyways. I haven't been able to update the site much. I want to change the graphic on my home page, just to give it a fresh look.
