Art For Japan: A Disaster Relief Auction

As many of you might know, a few wonderful artist friends and myself have put together a charity auction to raise money to aid those so deeply affected by the earthquake and tsunami that shook Japan on March 11th. 

To visit the auction, see the artists, or get more details, please go here. 

We would also be greatly honoured if you'd be so compelled to Facebook/tweet/or reblog the auction!

Overhaul

I'm thinking about a total-blog overhaul and revamp. 

Not moving my address, but simply thinking a new, wider space for content, side icons, and a new colour scheme.

Thoughts, my friends?

Whenever you attempt something great, there will always be those who seek to knock you down. Do not think about these people; they are a waste of your time.

Kids' Version of What Happened in Japan

My friend Linzy linked this up on her Facebook, and I couldn't resist sharing! Personally, I think this is a "kids version" and "adults who have no sense of how nuclear reactors work" version, aka, ME.

Enjoy :)

Life Update

"Where the spirit does not work with the hand there is no art"

I apologize, friends, for the lack of Friday Feature. I have actually been thinking about taking them down to bi-monthly, or monthly. I've been crazy busy, it's been tough to keep up with everything, admittedly. 

I hope everyone had a great St. Patty's - I went downtown with a bunch of friends and had wayyyy too much to drink. It was a much-needed night of letting loose, hahah. And no hangover the next morning! 

I'm in Philly now, without my tablet or my jewelry materials; I'm helping my dad out with his own small business - he collects and resells valuable antique maps and atlases. I occasionally hop up to Philly to do some photography and listing work for him. It's a really cool gig - these books have GORGEOUS steelplate and woodplate engravings. It's really inspiring to my own illustrative work.

Anyways, sorry for the lack of art in this post. Thought I'd give a little life update.  

And P.S. - MICA released their letters yesterday, so I may very well know if I got into grad school when I come home on Monday! /NERVOOOOOUSSS

Jewelry Sneak Peek - La Vie Boheme

A loved and dear friend suggested to me that I start giving a few of my pieces a more vintage-bohemian feel, and she completely read my mind, because I ordered quite a few vintage filigree pieces from Etsy a bit back and have been itching to pair some with my polymer clay sculpting :)

Here is a sneak peek of the pendants before they get paired up with chains and beadings ;)

These aren't in my shop yet (hopefully tomorrow or Friday!) But check out the rest of my shop! I'm super close to 100 sales, and I am really excited to hit that milestone!
