Animated Adventures and Accomplished Goals

Hey guys! I know that it has been a long, long, long, loooong time since I updated. However, I have got some great news. I started and completed a short animation! Now to some this may seem like a small feat, but to me, it is like a dream come true.

Designing T-shirts and Threadless

My newest design submitted to Threadless :)

 Lately, I have been on a creative roll. I mean, ever since I started designing t-shirts during my free-time, the creative juices have been flowing. It's crazy! And I do mean in a good way. I wish I had found out about Threadless years ago.
One thing that I really like about this new found hobby is that it keeps me on my toes. I feel like I am able to explore and experiment in different ways. Each new challenge pulls me out of my comfort zone and forces me to approach my designs differently. I love it.
Not to mention that there are so many talented people on there. At first, it can seem a bit overwhelming and intimidating, but I found that there are quite a few people who are willing to give you tips on your designs as well as encouragement. So, yeah. The Threadless community is pretty awesome. I highly suggest Threadless for any of you who are interested in designing t-shirts or giving your artwork a little exposure.

♫ Coming soon ♫

A preview of what I've been up to:

Greeting Cards

Brooches/Pins

My plan is to get these up live by the end of the week. But first I've got to take more pictures.

♦ Just Do It ♦

Not too long ago --I believe it was just Tuesday-- I was talking about my goals for the New Years. Basically, I am not supposed to be dragging my feet, I should be making things happen! Well, today, I reached into my coat pocket, and what did I pull out? My Fortune Cookie fortune from last week! Usually I don't keep these thing because most of the time they seem... non-fortune-ish? But this fortune and one that I have from YEARS back came to me during a time I needed it. So what does this sliver of paper have anything to do with that last post? Let me show you☺

Great advice from a 10 cent cookie! When do I start?

Today? Sounds good.

 So yeah. Whenever you feel like you got an idea and you need a kick on the butt, just take a look at this. ☺

 

Here's to a Brighter Future! Happy New Year!

Oh my gosh! Can you believe that 2013 has come and gone so quickly? I can't, but at the same time, I really don't mind. Although I didn't accomplish ALL that I  wanted, I'm not going to worry about it, and neither should you. Tomorrow is New Years and it is definitely the time to look forward (that is, if you haven't done so already).
So, being the person who takes her own advice, that is what I am doing. Here are my plans for my New Year. Let's check it out!

Magical Time Traveling Jewelry

So the other day, I was looking through some of my unfinished projects and I found a locket which I embellished with vintage watch parts. I have a nasty habit of starting a personal project just to stop short and put it on the back burner. Anyway, after staring at the pendant for a while, I decided to put it on a silver chain along with a bronze key and red flower. I am so happy that I did because I love the end result. It inspired me to write a back story about the necklace. I'm going to include it in one of my tales.

Open Shop and Zines

Hey there!

It has been some time since I've last been on here. As stated in the last post, I finally, FINALLY,  got my stuff together and reopened my shop! And I must say, this is the most I have posted ever! If you click on that link up there at the top that says "Shop", you can see all that I posted.
I'm super excited because I've got some art prints up.
I even posted my first ever zine :3 It is a zine about Zell Dincht (Zell is a character from Final Fantasy VIII, my favorite FF game). In fact, I liked making a zine so much, that I am going to get started on another real soon.

Anyway, back to this Zell Zine. 

Tea Tea's Treats is now open!

Hey everyone, I just opened my  etsy shop today! There are some pretty cute things in there so if you'd like to take a gander, just click on the Shop link above :) I will be making new items and posting them throughout next week.

Updates

Hey everyone! I know that it has been a while since I have posted anything. Right now I am getting ready to re-open my Etsy shop under the name of TeaTeasTreats :) I am super excited. My goal for the shop is to sale beautiful jewelry and art at an affordable price. Much of my jewelry will cost no more than $30 (not including shipping). I will be selling cameo earrings and necklaces as well as deco tins and crocheted cuties. The best part is that I am TRADE FRIENDLY, meaning if you see something you like but you don't want to pay cash for it, I may be willing to trade an item from my shop with something from your shop. I am still getting it together, but my goal is to have it open by June 20th.
