With any luck this will be resolved shortly.  Failing that, the new site should be up in the next week or so.

Will update more shortly…

And my plea.
I need to make some money.
any money.
Every week, or I will keep having to do this nonsense.

So I am considering offer a beginning of the week $10 special. $10 will get you you character in whatever outfit, in watercolor OR graphite OR ink OR prisma. Whatever you want. No backgrounds please It will be about 4×6 and I will ship it to you. I need to make a little money every week if for unemployment to stay off my back. This starts now.

Would this be something you guys would be interested in? It is first come first serve, the person who gets it would be the first to comment, either here, FA or DA . I will post each entry announcing the beginning of the week at about the same time monday morning on each forum.

So again, apologies and a plea… Thanks for being SUCH loyal watchers and such fantastic people.

So for those of you who were at the con, you can skip this paragraph, it’s about all the trials that went on regarding me actually making it there, and you’ve heard that. So… due to the power outage that kicked us out of teh house for 5 days I had problems getting everything run off in time, then the water heater broke, out of the house for two more. Then the septic system blew, so out of the house for the whole con weekend (and now). So rather than being 30 min away, I was 1 hr away. Assuming of course, that there is no traffic. With traffic, I soon discovered that the trip was 2 hours. . So Friday I came, was 3rd in line, (getting there at 7:10) and met the fantastic Forrest and Myenia. Had a great day, got my only charm commissions that day, from Val, Deviant, Aress, Sabri, Silvermane, Coyo, Neos owner, and Padunk. Which came out as some of the BEST little pendants I’ve done. So excited. Left at around 9:30, got back the next day at 5:45 to get there at 6:45 and BARELY got in. The one thing I would say is I wish the con had a bigger artists alley, there were an awful lot of people trying to get those 16 spots. It was INTENSE. But got in, had my best sale day, and got to meet Luckykojak, who has the Most AMAZING steampunk jewelry, (you should totally check it out). And was generally pretty swamped the whole day. Left at around 9 because my head was blaring (in time with the bass from the rave in the next room… really overrated – TOO MUCH sorry for those of you that love it)and was back by 4am the next day to make sure I had a seat. Sunday was pretty slow. Which I guess is normal. Took my commissions, and managed to get everything done by 4. Got a few more random pendants sold, and left at around 5pm.

So for the next con I need to remember to get some sort of holder for badges (I really don’t like lamination)
magnets! (maybe pins too)
Get the aceos done in time silly (Now I know what that stand for too, thanks Myenia)
Bring a few of my tube watercolors – couldn’t squeeze enough on my palette White acrylic (or ink)
Maybe my black in and a crowquill pen… have to see if anyone is interested in my inkwork
Xacto and Ruler
Gatorade and a better snack kit
Advil

So thats it! It was WAY fun, and I’m so glad to have met you all. SO sorry if I forgot to mention you. If you met me and I didn’t, comment and I’ll add you myenia and Lucky kojak Thanks again, you were lifesavers! And the drink? DELICIOUS!

Best Always,
Laura
