Happy Hearts and Hooves Days

...or Valentines Day if you prefer. Its my daughter's first big girl VDay at school so I've made her a special My Little Pony inspired mail box. It so hard to tell that the box is super glittery but I've ordered by the dear husband to protect the box for future use.

Hi...

... our mommy doesn't still feel too hot so we're saying HI. 

My new digs.. for at least the spring

This where I've been hanging out most of the week for the last couple of weeks since the semester started again. I've gotten the same studio space for the last three painting seminar courses and with it comes loads of lady bugs oh my table, art, and even myself. I really don't mind it but to the art work! 

Starting on the left: Cosplay self-portraits of Batgirl aka Daily Affirmation, Princess Amethyst, and Scarlet Witch. 

Right Side to the Middle: Floral abstract representations of the cycles I experience on a day to day basis. 

I plan on working on a lot of shop stuff this weekend! Keep your eyes peeled! 

Kickin' it Sailor Scout Style

Sailor Moon shrink magic piece on a hot pink jute cord. 

I've been trying to take it easy by working mostly on the computer and avoiding a lot of strenuous and detailed work with my hands. I normally don't like to talk about my health on this blog but I deal with some significant health problems where I take several medications to control the symptoms. Lately I've been dealing with worsening exhaustion, pain, and numbness making doing work in long stretches nearly impossible if I'm doing the work in the studio courses I am currently enrolled in at my college. Its not affecting production or shipping yet, but I am going back to my doctor before my next scheduled appointment to figure out what is wrong and get new accommodations for school. 

Hanging out with Bill Maher

I'm really antsy and want the show to hurry up! 

What? What is this?! You mean there are this many people like me in Memphis? 

Over the weekend the husband and I went to go see Bill Maher at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Memphis with tickets we got as x-mas presents from my Mom. It was a fabulous show and mostly definitely surreal seeing him in person since I've been watching him from his Politically Incorrect days to most recently Real Time show on HBO. I wished it lasted longer and maybe even closer, but maybe next time he comes around again. 

A different kind of horn

I have been taking a small turn from the land of unicorns and making some demon horns on a trial basis. I'm really loving the kind on the bobby pins for those who don't want a headband, though I personally prefer them because of the stability, but I want want everyone to enjoy some horns.

Pokemon!

 Just a quick little ditty I made up a few weeks ago and was a small hit at the Remix last week - Poke'ball hairpin! Great for a poke'mon cosplay outfit and I had a lot of girls getting it for just that!
