Oh em gee, shipping to Australia is expensive haha!

Lys, your package should be there by Monday, I hope you really like it, to excite you I'll add that the fellow at the print shop went ga-ga over it and asked for my website. <3

So I think you'll find it tasty, muahahahaha!

I'm going to use the butterfly paper for Mother's Day, by the by. :D

OH MY G-d GUMMI!!

She made an art print on posterboard of ME! I can't believe you had the balls to value that at $1 to customs! You hoar! Worth way more than that!

I opened it up and went OOOOH PRETTY LADY and then I saw she had my tattoo!!!!

And dude... if I can look like that when I'm tan, I'm totally tanning more.

Will take photos shortly.

Isn't it though?! OMG. I am in love with it. I'm taking it to the framers to get professionally matted for my livingroom!! And here I spent $70 on a 4" painting (and $100 on two owl prints) and all I had to do was wait a week! Pffft that'll show me, paying for my own art and stuff. hahahaha.

Oh. My. God. I am in love with it. Nobody can take it awwwaaaay!

What's the medium? I can't tell since it's a print. Sketch + Paintshop Pro?

(In the 'contents' section of customs it says Item: Paper Value: $1)

Take your time, I have a bunch of cookies to bake this weekend already, so I probably won't be able to send yours until next week anyway.

Let me know if you are interested in swapping still and if there's anything you're wanting from my list of doables.
Lola's frame plus surprise is in it's final stages and will be sent out by the end of the week. Then I won't have anything to work on while the baby I watch is sleeping :(

Lysondra;

Normally I prefer to hand draw the lines, ink, then scan and color. This time around I just sketched it all up in photoshop with my wacom tablet, then colored etc. Here, some fun in progress images for you;

Ah! Mine is an old, but still rocking, wacom graphire 3 CTE-440. Like this, though apparently this is a Graphire 4;




It's done me great for years, I might go bigger soon but haven't found a need yet. :3

I have a graphire 3 too. I love the damn thing so much... it's too bad I suck at using it.

I'll swap!

My list of handmade-ness:
Sewing
Cloth dolls and toys
Tied fleece blankets
Baked goods
Homemade chocolate covered ______. (I've done PB sandwiches, pretzels, strawberries and nuts before.)


I'll swap for anything really. I've seen some fun stuff on here.

who makes the nifty stripper aprons that are would be awesome work apparel? I really want one. I can buy, trade for non craft items, or trade for craft items.

please pm me and we can haggle for an apron on two :)

I want one soooo bad. especially if you can design something to cover the butt since at my work we have to wear one pieces that cover the butt. maybe buttons? or just a really big tie sash?

Okay an update: Turns out I forgot to send Brenditas gift. *sigh* I found it behind the couch (along with my address book, wtf).... so I'm sending that and Gummi's on Monday.

I think I might've forgotten someone as well?
