It's been awhile [21 Dec 2009|01:29am]

Hey everyone! It's been so long since I posted (though I continue to read everyone elses entries!) and I hope everyone is well.

First, thanks to everyone who helped me out with my queston about painting styrofoam. I opted to just use permanent markers. It was something I already had and it worked out great. I vended my first convention in October (which is why I was asking about styrofoam for my displays!) and it was a HUGE success for me. I've been slowly listing the leftovers on Etsy. Beneath the cut you'll find photos of the some of the items I made for the con. The leftovers, like I said, are on my Etsy and I'll have a link to that as well at the bottom.

Happy Holidays to everyone!

My boyfriend is amazing. Therefore he deserves a painting to brighten up his room for the holidays.

It's perfect for him )

magnet help [16 Dec 2009|12:17am]

[kachie_kurayami]
I decided that my family's fridge needed some magnets and after nearly 2 weeks of searching, I found some cute ones at borders. Problem is, they are not very strong. I was thinking of going to JoAnns or Michels to find some good magnets to glue to the back but I don't want to be duped again.

Does anyone know good brands of magnets?

Ohmigosh I'm freaking out!
I bought all my gifts on ebay!
And I'm so afraid that they won't be here in time for christmas!!
I just wanna make something cheap, and easy to tide everyone over till their gifts get here.

I can draw, I can do a lil hand sewing...


I thought of maybe just baking a bunch of cookies and putting them in gift bags.
But I don't know.

Can someone help me?
:/

I need some ideas!!

Question [11 Dec 2009|11:42pm]

Since you guys always have amazing ideas, I thought I'd ask...


I have 8 of these cute little scrapbooking jars, but I was trying to come up with some ideas for maybe making holiday gifts for my mum and grandmother. Or even for just organizing things.

I have no idea what to use them for, so they're just basically sitting on a shelf, empty, and I'm at a loss.

I do sew, and I thought about maybe using one to hold buttons, but that still leaves 7 jars.
It feels like a waste if they're just sitting there.

So any ideas for organization, or Xmas gifts would be greatly appreciated. (Especially since I don't know what to get my grams, and she's getting me an Xbox 360)
:S

I am also limited on funds. I have some money, but I can't like, load up on expensive things.


Thanks in advance crafters! <3

Lighting Inquiry [11 Dec 2009|05:33am]

craftygoths

[callingcry]
Ooh! And for those who go out to nightclubs: I've had innumerable problems in the past w/lighting issues when vending my wares. (Either my stuff gets lit well and patrons complain, or my stuff stays in the shadows to keep the spooky atmosphere and my art doesn't get seen.) Would any of you happen to have an idea of how I can adequately light my art & craftwork, w/o blinding people & destroying the dark mood-lighting @ ye local gothy venue? I've done colored lights & that seems to work to a point, but it doesn't offer much actual light, and tends to distort the pieces I've done in color. :P At this point I'm open to almost anything, :)

Many Thanks!

Humbug Horns [11 Dec 2009|05:23am]

[callingcry]
Hey all! With all of the curmudgeonly crud concerning the holidays floating about me lately, I thought I'd make something for the fashionable Scrooge & so-done Santa hat-wearing public. :) Enter "Humbug Horns!"

See inside cut for images. :) )
They'll be on sale @ Bound where I'll be vending tomorrow night, and might also go up in my etsy store. :) (They'd need better pics of them to go up at my shop, of course.)

Hope you like!
