Oh, Rocky!

If you are going to spend any time with me at all, you will be exposed to Dr. Frank N. Furter and Hedwig.

For this sleepy morning, let's start with the low-key, melancholic opening number from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I have been sewing all night long and it is almost quitting time.

Sims 3!

I am a huge Sims geek. I have every Sims game made and almost every expansion pack. I even hold onto my original Sims game even though it won't play on this computer. I think I may some day have a way to play it again.

I am dying to play Sims 3! I don't have it yet though. One, I don't want to spend the money on it right now. Two, I really do have a list a mile long of things I want to accomplish in the next several weeks, and if the Sims 3 makes its way into my house, all of that will fly out the window. The Sims is one of those things I get lost in. I sit down to play for an hour and then look up and five hours have passed!

Ben Franklin!

To all the millions of people, lol, who were so interested in who my art project represented, it was Ben Franklin! As soon as I saw his name on the list, I knew it was kismet! We were meant to be together. He was cool, and I am cool!

I added the stupid link within widget just so I could have that as a link on it, and can't figure out how to edit it.

Can't wait!

I have made myself set a deadline for the unveiling of all of my new inventory! I will get it all done, listed, and ready to roll by June 22! I have a lot to get done. I have done a lot, too. I have many new items all ready to go. I just want to get a few more things ready. I think I will list a couple of things a day all week next week to keep in interesting!

I am having a "Yart Sale" at my Etsy Shop!

June 10 - June 14 a lot of Etsians are having a Yart Sale. Yart Sale is Yard Sale + Art Sale!

I have a huge discount on some of the things in my brandedbutterfly shop. I also have a great deal on my cards at my brandedbutterflytwo card shop! You may want to be aware that my card shop contains some mature content.

Hope you will stop in!

I need a little fairy to poof in, clean up, and leave!

I make a mess when I am furiously creating at the pace I have been in the last month. The mess builds and I only stop to clean once all possible space has been depleted. I am on the last little bit of a corner of my desk at this point, so tonight I am sure I will be doing a quick clean up so I can start the process again!

The beautiful butterfly you see on the card was made by Kathy Panton. I love it! The little pictures you see paperclipped to my Post-It note drawer are a couple of the images I purchased from Piddix. I made a little booboo on the pumpkin picture, so it is there to keep me company. The girl looking in the well is ready to be applied to something, so she is just hanging out for now.

The zippy pouch is just like one that I will have for sale in my Etsy shop in the very near future.

All the markers, the pan, the punch, the pencils, are for shrink plastic I have been working on.

The spools of thread are there because I ran out of room on my craft table to put them.

One of my art projects, spring 2009

I wanted to share this with you. It is a picture of my final art project for my 2D art class spring 2009. I love how it turned out. We had to take a piece of stonehenge, 22 x 30 if I remember right, and cut it into 3 pieces to make a triptych piece of art. The instructor gave us a list of people to choose from and we had to make the art about them trying our best not to do the cliche' thing.

We also had to incorporate words and a lot of the lessons we had learned through the semester like: overlapping, cropping, transparency, scale, etc.

I love mine. Can you guess who it represents? (No fair using Google.) I will tell you later.
