Farewell to a piece of my heart!

You remember that video I made of HOT, this cigar box that had collage on it, and how I poured some resin, and added like 3D things to it, and they stuck on the resin, and stuff? And then Jeff, the guy at 52 projects, actually POSTED A LINK TO THE VIDEO! and it got a gazillion links! on youtube (ok, maybe a thousand or so, but still, my most successful video to date, thankyouverymuch)

OK, so the news are.. that this little box HAS SOLD! I had it in my etsy store for what seemed to be forever and I was ok with her hanging around my living room wall,  but then Susan came along and she took it! (yay! hi Susan!) So now that little piece of my heart is on it's way to California. I have to say, tears were shed at UPS. Oh, I miss you already, but happy it found a home.

And speaking of etsy... I just updated the store with new stuff. So come take a look, I made a few more pendants that are there for sale, and I also decided to start tasting the waters on etsy-custom work!

So I am now taking orders to make those little pendants with names and pictures of your child, (or maybe you!) I made one for each of my kids, and I LOVED THEM! I plan to hang them from their school bags once the new year starts.

And I am also thinking of making them for my nephews and nieces come Christmas time. I am having fun making them, so the custom work will be the perfect excuse to keep making 'em!

Besides, you know I'm not making art for the money, that would be hilarious! but I still do need to sell once in a while, because craft stores don't like to part with supplies in exchange of paintings (I've asked!) They prefer money, it seems. Weird, huh?

I feel your pain. It's sad to lose a piece, but happy at the same time. My sister has wanted my "She's on Fire" piece for ages, and I finally wrapped it up for her this weekend and gave it to her today.

Your pendants are great! I'm going to go and have a look at your others now...

Yea, I always thought it was strange how those darn craft stores want money instead of art. Go figure! I am so happy that your "heart" box sold. Yay Susan...You are one lucky girl. I bet your pendants will sell too. I am still on the fence with etsy...Not sure if it will be worth it.
