December Hath Come!

Well it's been a while. No excuses, just sometimes hiatuses (hiati? haitus...ow) happen, right?

There are some new baubles at my shop, and there are more to come in the next few days! So, got someone nautical-minded on your holiday gift list? Eh? Hop on down and get em while they're hot! I also do custom work, since I have about 8,000 pieces of seaglass on my shelves in every color imaginable.

Working on a new layout for this place and even contemplating a move, gasp! Stay tuned!

And if you haven't already, check out my pal Kelsey's blog - she has been away in New York and having many adventures, but last time we made Stuffed Pumpkin Pancakes, and soon we will be back with a vengeance!
(Wow, check out that amazing photography, what a great photographer she must have- oh wait, that's me HARHAR.) Man, I can't wait to get back to eating and creating devastatingly delicious food.

Super Secret Project #1 - REVEALED.

That's right - now is the time to reveal one of the Super Secret Projects I've been working on lately - Marlinespike Design! My friend and I started a jewelry design etsy to sell new things we're working on! They're all made from black acrylic for now, lasercut to perfection and looking nice and shiny! So far we only have 8 online, but rest assured, we have a LOT more designs up-and-coming. Including a series of Sherlock Holmes-inspired necklaces.


Oh, so exciting! Go on and check them out! There's also some rad squid and whale designs!

I'm still working on another Super Secret Project, and I've been working on new tiny paintings! I've done so many that I've run out of tiny canvases. I'll have to go buy more!

Hope everyone had a spectacular weekend, and a great Valentine's Day tomorrow!

All the Other Kids

My life lately has been a bit busy. Going to job interviews, walking tons of dogs, cleaning cleaning cleaning my room and house, working on starting up a new etsy with my friend, getting eaten alive by mosquitoes in the park, reading, and most of all, enjoying the amazing weather!


We had a birthday party for a friend last week, the theme of which was 'Childhood Dreams' - we all dressed as what we wanted to be when we grew up. I was a cowboy. But of course, no childhood dream party could be complete without a pin-the game, and what better than pin-the-moustache-on-the-dinosaur? So I drew a Dilophosaurus, a few moustaches, and we had a blast.


I've been spending the rest of my spare time making more seaglass pendants and necklaces. And watching Skins series 1 & 2.

Jewelry!

I made new necklaces! Aww, they're cute :]. I'm putting them up in the shop. What do you think?

The New Year!

Happy new year, kids! I'm trying to fulfill my resolution to start posting more here! I don't have a lot of stuff scanned right now to share with you, but I have a huge pile of stuff waiting to be uploaded places. Until then, here's an in-progress shot of a necklace a friend commissioned from me:

Before the Mast

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a long time. Our internet is still reaaaally dumb. I have to call comcast and complain - it makes it way too hard for me to update my blog, since it is sooooo slow. The only reason I can update right now is because I am in Seattle for my Mom's birthday.

Anyway, I guess I should just show you kids what I've been working on lately. How does that sound? Here goes:


Here's the bigger views of the images that are on the cards:





Thanks for looking, have a good day!

I'm Back, Finally!

I've finally gotten settled into my new house, and we've finally got internet access! I haven't had the internet in so long I was forgetting how to use it.

The move went well, then of course a lot of partying and drinking ensued for the next few days. I got that IKEA bookshelf for my room (and it looks awesome - pictures to follow soon!) and I've been having an awesome time. Also, I've found some time to work on some art things, so it looks like I'll be back in the swing of things soon!

Speaking of, how about I make this short and sweet and just show off some of the jewelry I've made lately? Here:




Also, here's a painting I did last night:



Oh one more thing, since I always seem to end my posts with a question: our internet sucks! The connection keeps pooping out and restarting, anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it?

Things and More Things

I know I know, every time I post here I start it with 'Wow it's been forever since I posted here,' so I'm not going to say it this time. Except I just did. Oops?

It was my birthday on the 14th, and I went thrift shopping and beachcombing with my mom, and on Tuesday my friend and I went out drinking - wow, what a night! Yikes, hahaha.

Well today I spent the day finishing up the new shop update! I finished eight new necklaces and pins, I quite like them, despite the fact that my pictures really aren't that good, harharhar. Anyway, here they are:










Not much else to say. Talk to you all soon!

Okay Alright, It's Been Too Long

Holy Moley. I hadn't realized it had been so long since my last post. Uh. New York was a blast, everyone! I made it back alive! Sorry for not speaking for two weeks! I'm not going to give a bunch of excuses, we all know I've been working and when I am working I tend to get home and pass out rather than get on the computer and update my blog.

Anyhow! I've been making new stuff, believe it or not! Check these out!

They're all up at the shop, obviously. I'm sortof in love with them! I half hope no one buys them so that I can wear them around all the time, but on the other hand, I HOPE SOMEONE BUYS THEM. hahaha.

I've been working on two new paintings, too, one of which is already finished, I just need to scan it in and do things in photoshop, so hopefully I will have an art update soon too. Also I have a lot of other ideas swimming around in my mind! So hopefully there won't be another two week pause between posts, I'm sorry again!

That's all for now, I hope you enjoyed :]!
