Now in the shop.
I'm working on 2 other winter themed outfits for Timmsy, I will probably have them ready & photographed by early next week.
Buy yourself this book! It is 192 pages of extreme awesomeness by one of my favorite contemporary artists Camilla Engman. I am lucky enough to have one of my pictures appear in this fantastically designed book. I love everything about this book, first off the packaging is amazing, it comes with a printed elastic closure, a baggage tag bookmark, and lots of extra goodies like a postcard set, mini print, and a booklet featuring Camilla's superstar dog, Morran. I love that this book gives a little background story to Camilla's varying artwork styles and techniques, inspirations, collaborations, and artist friends. It even touches upon the enviable Swedish lifestyle. What I love about Camilla (mind you, I don't know her personally) is that you can look up to her and think maybe one day you can survive as an artist too... following, analyzing, experimenting, and submerging yourself with all the things that you love. What can be better than that? -----Nothing.
Responsibilities include, but not limited to - watching over you when your regular guardian angel has a dentist appointment or something, maybe a distant cousin's wedding in Albuquerque...in any case, he will be there for you on a freelance basis to make sure you are safe.
All these Timmies and a few other small things will be added to my shop today at noon (Eastern time).
Uh-oh... Candy apple and cotton candy dyes from The So Sugary Sweet Sweets Factory have accidentally spilled into the local pond. Now, along with Timmie the mutant tadpole, sugary sweet pink Timmettes have begun to appear on area lily pads! It is not yet known how many Timmettes are out there, but mutant tadpole researcher Professor Margarine Porridge is investigating.
I shortened the t-strap and added the cut-off strap fabric to the back.
The first time I saw tooth powder was in a Japanese zakka book a few years ago. A nice Japanese lady was dipping her toothbrush into a round tin of tooth powder. Since I am fan of really old-fashioned things, I had to have some. I came across this small bottle of natural tooth powder that only contains 4 ingredients (natural chalk, mustard seed powder, sea salt , and natural plant essence). Regular toothpaste contains chemicals such as fluoride and sodium lauryl sulfate whose safety is debated among the medical community. I hate that companies just throw chemicals into their products because they are cheap to use.
Yay! My new postcards came! I can't wait to start sending them out with my orders.
Also, I love the paper flower tutorial I saw on Etsy's How Tuesday - LINK
Paper flowers are a fun way to use up paper scraps that you were going to throw out, bill envelopes, etc...
