Tomorrow is the annual Dine Out For Life event in Seattle. The link is to participating restaurants in the Puget Sound area. Tomorrow you can eat out knowing it's for a good cause!

I got my rejection note from the Wedgewood Art Festival so that's off the calendar ( Read more... )

Seriously - 4 nights in a row of not enough sleep has left me with no brain left. It's a little scary that I operated a moving vehicle today - but it was necessary to get home. My room is a complete disaster and the rest of the house isn't a lot better. This week is going to be dedicated to getting things back in order and posting the new items I ( Read more... )

So, in the picture below the bracelet is the result of the riveting class I took last Thursday - which I finished putting together last night. The other three pieces are what the MUSE jumped on my brain about all last night - making sleep disjointed and interrupted. I kept trying to explain that I could not work on these things in the middle of the ( Read more... )

Part 1 of at least 2 parts on Fat Acceptance and what it's like growing up/being large in a diet obsessed society. Some of the stuff I contribute is deeply personal and not something I talked to anyone about for many years. If it helps even one person pull their head out of their ass it was worth it!

This is truly a quick and dirty pic of these bracelets I just finished but I wanted to share. I finished the green one last night and the red one tonight. These are mine - not for sale. I may put the red one in the Norwescon Art Show as a not for sale piece (it being the one I started the day I learned this free-form Peyote technique - referred to ( Read more... )

Was unable to post last night due to another DDoS attack on LJ. Birthday ended up mostly good. Could have done without my annual being rescheduled to that day. My BP was up but I think it was a combo of irritation being in the waiting room so long/having to re-do a bunch of paperwork and anxiety over my appointment and how it would go with the ( Read more... )

Some stuff that I released from molds today. Much of it is destined for the upcoming Mourning Market on Sunday, April 17th. I need to do a little finish work on some pieces and I'm preparing a few more - which is what I've been working on today. I had to go get some Ice Resin supplies first. I'm still a bit tired from last nights festivities so I ( Read more... )

I was rudely awakened at 3:30AM with stabby pains in my tummy and the nausea my roommates have been having. The nausea is much better but my tummy is still cranky and I'm feeling generally off. Swimming has been canceled. Unless I'm feeling drastically better in the next few hours my play date probably needs to be canceled as well...

Not. Happy.

At my Seedbeaders get-together on Sunday I learned to make the bird pictured below. I got a bit obsessive compulsive about it. It was a lot of fun and, yes, that's a glass taxidermy eye from Archie Mcphee's. I still have finish work to do on it but it's mostly done. I may or may not display it at Norwescon ( Read more... )
