A Melancholy Dwelling

Jaime Best has a shop on Zibbet

'A Melancholy Dwelling'

I really love Jaime's art...it is so

vibrant and beautiful...

especially in person.

Forget that I am somewhat prejudiced...of course I am..

but I am being completely unbiased when I

brag on this girl's talent...

her style really is uniquely her own.

I'm giving her a bit of a 'plug'...

she's going to be the Featured Seller on Zibbet

this week...

and I'm hoping she gets a lot of 'love' from my friends and readers.

Her interview speaks volumes about the kind of person she is.

Here's a link to her blog..

and to a really cool website she's put together

for her (and her husband's)

BestArtStudios2 site.

A Couple Digital Collage Art Prints

I decided to do something a little different.

I found some old diary pages in the Public Domain

and 'collaged' the little gal from my

Butterfly Blues piece

into a brand new piece entitled,

"She Hearts Butterflies and Blackbirds"

the other piece is entitled

"Her Deepest Thoughts"

They were rather fun to put together...though I do

admit I'm not very experienced at

collage...

I think I'd like to experiment a bit more with it.

Recent News....

I was recently featured in 

Etsy's Dark Side Street Team's

Art Exhibition.

There are some 'wonderfully creepy'

pieces featured...

I did an interview with 

Tabz at Gothic Toggs on Zazzle

which will run in her blog..

though I don't actually know when at this time...

I'll post a link when it is published.

I've put some new stuff in my
Rustic Goth Zibbet Shop
that are exclusive to that shop,
I'll be adding more exclusive pieces in the coming
days and weeks.

I've got some Rustic Goth designs
ready for licensing...
but I need about a dozen designs
before I begin to submit them..
main thing is...I've begun!

Newest Art.

Here are a couple of my newest illustrations.

They are the first of a new series I am calling...

"Gothiks"

I introduce you to...

Mercy and Chastity.

Happy Easter!

Getting All Caught Up

I think I've said before that I'm a little

"OCD"

about a number of things...and shipping is high on my list

of things that I 'obsess' about.

I had to go to weekly shipping....because I found, especially if I've

had a really good week...

that I could get caught up in shipping and let other things...

like creating new pieces..

fall by the way side.

So...I'm okay with weekly shipping...UNTIL...I have what happened

this past week...

We ran out of ink for the prints...we really do go through that stuff...and it's

definitely not cheap...

but..on occasion our local supply is out of one or more of the colors we need...

YIKES!!

Anyway...we are finally back on track...I have

all but two orders SHIPPED.

The two orders that are left will go out on

Monday or Tuesday..

(I'm making an 'exception'..because of the ink situation..

and shipping twice this next week.)
