It SOLD!

It's roughly 7:27 AM and I have just finished packing my ACEO that was sold sometime ago. I'm excited b/c I told myself before I left work today that something would sell today, and what do you know, something did sell! Here is my card that sold:
Also as an update, that painting I did for the co-worker had to be reworked but has come out better for the client. I was a bit ticked off at first b/c the day after I had let her view the painting she came back and told me she wanted it redone on the flower. After having redone it, I now agree with her. Heh. :o) Here's the improved shot of it...

As an artist you don't like to hear people tell you how something should look when you created it to look one way.

I have another client lined up that is needing me to do calligraphy for her wedding invites and I am excited to do those, b/c I have done calligraphy for over 10 yrs but nothing in great length such as writing out entire invitations! I do believe I will need a lightbox to better assist me in the project.

Ok, ok I am rambling on. I hope all my fellow Etsians have a good day in the market and hope you bloggers stay out of trouble!

Burning a hole in my pocket!

So today was pay day and already I've purchased so many things for pleasure and business! I was on newegg.com today and purchased a 7.2MP Nikon Coolpix digital camera, 2 corsets from www.cherrypiepunk.etsy.com, 6 new canvases from a new art supply shop(6 canvases of varying bigger sizes for only 33 bucks!) paid some bills and played the lotto. :o)

I bought the corsets from cherrypie b/c she does awesome work and they are mainly for after the breast reduction. Here they are http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=7141423 and http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=7141424. Oh yeah, lol, I want to get a reduction b/c the twins have outstayed their welcome! So there!

Tomorrow I go to office depot and buy a new photo printer in the hopes of being able to print out my work from home. Instead of getting disappointed and being charged out the butt from other printing companies. I have to tell myself, if I don't like it,(the photoprinter/digicam) just to return it instead of keeping it and being out of the money. I'm an impulsive buyer!

Oh yeah and my fortune cookie said investing in a small business would be good for me! Isn't that awesome?! It was just more amusing b/c before me and the b/f went out to lunch I was talking to him about needing to "pimp" myself out more with my art, so I can make real money and save up.

I completed my first true commissioned painting for a co-worker and she loves it! Here's the end result.......
What do you think bloggers? You can't really see it all that well... but I put droplets from the hot glue gun to mimic dew on some petals. I'm really proud of this piece and I know it can only get better. Well I need to try and force myself to get a least an hour of sleep before work. Have a lovely weekend my bloggers! *hugs*

Working on New Years...

So I brought the new year in by being at work on my computer. I suppose that would mean I am setting the pace for this year. I just woke up a couple of hours ago from my nap and decided to paint on a project I have put off to the side. Now I have to put it off for a little longer b/c I am having trouble mixing the exact same blue background I had. I just went outside and took some pics and it was extremely bright outside.Plus I didn't have the sun to my back, I had it to my side, which really killed the quality. I suppose I will go work on an ACEO instead and list that tonight. Thankfully, I don't have to work tonight so I can do a bit of catching up on some stuff.

Ok, now I'm just rambling. LoL I am going to go. Happy New Years, Bloggers!
