I don't get sick very often...

I've had the good fortune of not getting sick too often..

even when the flu attacks everyone else in the

family...

it seems to skip right over me.

So..when I do get sick...I'm not sure

what to do with myself.

I've been 'under the weather' for

a couple of days...not sure why..

and I have soooo much that I need to do right now.
I just didn't have the energy to do it.

Instead...I got caught up on my

blog reading,

that was fun...

and I created a couple of new digital pieces..
watched some TV and

rested.

Hopefully I can get everything back on schedule

over the week-end.

New Pieces - New Shop

I recently decided that it might be a good idea to have more than

one online shop..

and opened a new Rustic Goth shop on Zibbet.

Well, I didn't want to just have the same things in multiple

shops...so what I am doing is...

creating new items exclusive to each shop.

This is a 'Gothik Virtures' art bookmark

of  'Mercy'

and it is only available in my

Rustic Goth Zibbet Shop.

Also Exclusive to this Zibbet Shop

are my bookmarks,

'Chastity' and 'Temperance'.

I really LOVE these new pieces and will be doing

a whole series of

'Gothik Virtues'

prints and bookmarks.

Whimsical Gothiks

Last week I created some new little

'whimsical gothiks'

Melanthe and Mister Mistoffelees
painted on a small wood panel
and
Merula's Raven
painted on a small piece of watecolor paper.

I think they're really cute...though a bit
though a bit different than
my other 'gothik' pieces.

But then...I guess that's what I'm all about.

On another note...
I was quite disappointed with my week
in the Handmade Market.

I like the site a lot, but I always had
trouble with the site 'loading'...a lot of times it
never would load for me..
so, I'll have to wait until the site is a little
more 'user friendly' to get another stall.

Rustic Goth 'news'

I had a 'stall' at the

Handmade Market all week...

I decided to 'give it a go' and see what happened..

I'll have to check stats to see how

it worked out.

It's a fun little site but a little time consuming

to set up.

My shops at

Zibbet

and 

1000 Markets

have some exclusive items,

unique to each shop

and I am working on new pieces

for each of my shops.

 New pieces also added to

my Rustic Goth Etsy Shop.

I took on a new

custom painting request..

I'm working hard to get it done as it

needs to get to the Netherlands by May 1st.

Jaime is the 'featured Zibbeter' this week..

she gave a wonderful interview.

Now I'm taking some

time away from the computer...so I can get

everything done and also get several

lines ready to present for licensing.

A little break...

I'm taking a bit of a 

'computer break'...

having some problems again

so it seems like a good time to see if my online shops

can 'tend' themselves

for a bit.

I really need to take a break from all of the

online work that consumes so much of each day

and just see how many new pieces I can create.

I have so many ideas that keep getting put on the back burner..

I want to spend some time and see if I can

do something with them.
