Not quite perfect — I think there was a bubble at the bottom of the mold that I missed, hence the very thin bit of tail. I honestly wasn’t quite sure what to do with this piece when I finished making it. In theory, you could make it into a pendant, but it’d be very […]

. My students’ final papers and projects are mostly due by midnight tonight, so tomorrow will be a big grading day; today is in theory more free. What I really want to do is spend the day decorating the house with holiday delightfulness, OR play video games all day — it’s been a long semester,

Some pics of this week’s resin-making. Golden color — I was aiming for the feel of sunlight through autumn leaves. Add some little botanical bits, let them poke out a little from the resin, and you have some nice little pendants.

Sold two unicorn tea towels first thing, and an autumn leaves poem one later. I like these literary tea towels. There will be more later, I think, once I have time to design them! I had a whole plan for a golden autumn dragons tea towel, with a quote from G.K. Chesterton, but ran out

I admit, I kind of love the little general store box I found recently — um…at Bed, Bath & Beyond, I think, when I stopped in to get a replacement candy thermometer. It had two other wood boxes nested inside — good value, and totally on brand. I am IMPORTED & DOMESTIC. I feel like

What is particularly nice about these from a small business POV is that they’re small, easy-to-store, perennially useful, and light to pack and set up. Once upon a time, long long ago, I sold a poem to Blue Mountain Arts for their line of greeting cards — I’m tempted to go through my poetry and

Sold two sci-fi books and two paperback cookbooks so far. Also some curry powder, unsurprisingly.
