Thanks! It hurts to see my money dropping down so quickly, but I am finding some pretty cute clothes!

Thank you!♥
I feel so strange without white skin! I think I could get used to this, but my old avatar was how I recognized myself, haha!
...And now I really want some of the fairy wings that cost a ridiculous amount. Oh, well. Saving up again!

Saving up means having to chatter!

Oh, no, the horror. XD
I've hit a slump of, "not enough energy to care" and so I haven't been making any crafts lately. I mean, any con I would be selling them at isn't for a good long while, but I had been on such a roll! I make decoden cases and fairy kei jewelry. I also do a lot of dessert-themed food charms.
It's hard getting started with selling online, though. I think I need to start taking art commissions on top of it.

Is there anything you like to make/sell?

I like to draw, and write. Unfortunately though at the moment my scanner is broken which makes me mad.

I also paint. My paintings are better then my drawings but *shrugs*

D: Oh no! I HATE that. We had just gotten a scanner and the guy at the hotel who was helping us get it into the room dropped it. It hasn't worked right since, but he had rushed us into printing something and then he left, with everyone agreeing that nothing was broken (albeit hesitantly). ...Turns out it wasn't the printer that broke, but the scanner! An entire corner won't scan. But we already said that nothing was broken and said this t the manager, so it would have just been on us if we said anything at that point. Ugh.

Oh, I'd love to see your art! I'm no good with paint, but I want to learn at some point.

I have a few older drawing laying around I think.

Painting is relaxing I feel. I can sit in front of my canvas for hours.

Making jewelry is pretty relaxing for me. Sketching is, too, but then there's just some days when everything goes wrong and it becomes stressful instead!

I have days like that with my art as well.

This is one of my colored pencil drawings:

And here is a pastel:

I don't have any paint examples to show you because those are generally not scan able.

Oh! I really love your style of coloring! You're also very good with choosing them! The style is so cute, too.♥
Yeah, scanning the larger stuff always is (scanner or no). I always just wind up taking 500 pictures of it and hope one got at least some of the colors right and isn't at an angle, haha. I always have to wind up fixing anything scanned that's been colored in Photoshop. I recently picked up Copic markers, but I am only comfortable with flat colors right now. The time I shaded was... bad. The marker I was using bled everywhere and ruined the piece. And scanning them just comes out dull.

Do you do scenery paintings, or paintings of people?

I've never tried Copic markers myself, I'd like to some day though.

I do both. Sometimes I feel like painting people, sometimes I feel like painting landscapes.

They're actually really fun and do look like saturated watercolors when they dry. My hands shake a lot and so it's hard for me to stay in the lines, but when I'm doing a larger piece with flat colors, it looks a lot cleaner. I'm just scared another marker is going to drop ink blots all over my drawing.

I'm no good with landscapes. Or backgrounds for that matter! I'm trying to get better by forcing myself to do backgrounds.

I do full scenes when I draw unless I'm character designing then I don't even do a whole person. I draw them in peices.

I just have so much trouble with them. I have no idea why. I can't even draw rooms! I'm trying really hard to fix that, though.
I tried hard for this one... and when I was done, I realized everything was so low -- especially the doorknob! I can fix that much, but I'm too exasperated with it to go back an fix anything else.

I have the absolute most trouble with nature backgrounds, though... @[email protected]

Whoa did I space out. o_o;
No! Your stuff IS good!
I just feel like my backgrounds are clumsy and look thrown on without much care.

...I fell asleep. Well, now I'm awake at least! And now that it's 9:30pm, I should vacuum. I hope the neighbors enjoy this. Not that they'll stop throwing their trash on our porch or screaming and slamming everything loudly, and blasting music so loud the whole house shakes, and parking their car on our front lawn and driving over our sprinklers and parking IN OUR DRIVEWAY, BLOCKING US IN, AND GETTING MAD AT US FOR ASKING THEM TO MOVE. :D I'm not bitter I mean what.

I really dislike our neighbors. They called my roommate a cow in Spanish for no reason as she walked past them to get the trashcans. My roommate is a really sweet person.

...BUT YES, VACUUM. OUR FLOOR WITH BE SO FLUFFY AND NOT HAVE LITTLE THINGS THAT STICK TO US WHEN WE SIT DOWN.
