Goodies!

Well, yesterday I went out in search of something I didn't find... instead... I found all of this!

One of my favorite magazines, ImagineFX has a 4 part special that they're releasing over the next few months, and part 2 is now out!... It's filled with so many helpful photoshop tips that it's very worth the high price... plus it comes with a disk with lessons and free stuff on it!

I also bought the "Where Women Create" magazine, which is full of amazing stuff... just not pictured because someone was looking through it when I snapped the shot XD

Then I found a bunch of sparkly stuff on clearance at Michaels.... and how could I pass that up?!
Random Martha Stewart glitter colors were on clearance... along with floral embellishments that I intend on adding to bears... it was a good day for the glitter obsessed... and not only that, but it was so cheaply clearanced out that it didn't even come close to breaking the bank!

... although now I want more glitter. Dammit.

More bears are in the works... and will be pictured in the next week. :)

A busy day!

I also wanted to share two new artworks, one stuffed, one illustrated!

Ok, the illustrated one first, it's my first scribbling on an ACEO card:

Next is Pumpkin, he's quite the little character!

He can hang upside down...

He can show you his wings!

He can hide from you...


Or not!


He isn't shy...


But sometimes he's confused.

He can sit up...

Or stand up...

But sometimes he falls down!

What is there to do... but get back up again!!
