Cheers for now!

I signed up, eeeep!

looking for some external motivation to keep up with your sketches, collages, what-have-you? I was, sort of, not really, well maybe. Something different than the artistic/crafty rut that I find myself in, perhaps, yes.

sign up, pick a theme, mail it back and go down in tour history. pretty sweet, ehh? I thought so!

what's my theme? thought you'd never ask. drumroll, please: figuring you out.

can't wait. now back to studying, yes.

some recent favorites around the etsy

Awesomeness that i've recently discovered while spelunking around etsy.com

enjoy!

Edit: 7/18/2010

replaced this widget with a screen shot, because I realized that the widget was going to change as I added new favs. d'oh. I wanted to capture favorites of the moment with this post, neat.

Shameless self promotion time

I bet, dear blog, you had no idea that a few months ago I set up a separate etsy.com shop for my anatomy themed goods ---no? Great, here it is:

http://orangemarketorgans.etsy.com

and I am still adding to the ever growing catalogue of all that awesomeness that doesn't quite fall into the other category. This includes all those dinosaur accessories, LEGO brick jewelry madness, and clothing and bags and everything inbetween:

http://autumnomatopoeia.etsy.com

I bet that you also didn't know that I set up a one-stop website for all things autumnomatopoeia, I mean beyond this lovely blog of course:

http://poeia.net

and, well in that spirt of shameless self promotion, here are some newer things in both of those shops.





enjoy! more soon!

Oh, hello there. Sorry I've been a stranger.

I seem to do this a lot, fair blog, leave you in the dust and promise never to do it again. But alas, I will, I know this, you know this. Here's my attempt to make amends.

First, with shameless self promotion, then by featuring something that I think is pretty nifty keen by a fellow crafter/artist/awesome person extraordinaire. Here goes nothing.

Sweet, summery treasury feature!

You might be asking, well how did you find out that you were in this treasury my dear? So glad you asked!

On a tip from Miss Gina Designs I explored craftopolis.com, where you can search all current treasuries for that favorite etsy user of yours. While there I just happened to plug in autumnomatopoeia, and there it was, this lovely wild thing treasury.

What a fantastic follow up from yesterday's post, thanks Miss Gina!

And now a word from the Bizarre Market crew.......................
Friends.

We are holding another Bizarre Market on August 9th from 11-4 pm on the 200 block of North Shields (outside of JOE'S INN).

This market will be held in conjunction with ART 180's Jonny Z Festival during which they will be unveiling the mural project they have been working on.

The day will include many festivities including a moon bounce, live music, raffle drawings, and sounds from WRIR.

Not to mention the best in arts and crafts that local artists have to offer.

If you have anything to sell, please plan on attending as a vendor.

Set up begins at 10 am that morning. Once you have arrived, we will sign you in.


It is free to set up, but we ask that you donate 10% of your earnings to ART 180. Bring a chair, table, and change.

Remember, this Bizarre Market will be outside of JOE'S INN, not Chop Suey. If you go to Chop Suey, you will only have books to look at.

Last day...

....at a job that I love, and I have been loving for nearly two years now. I am moving on to bigger and better things for sure, but there is a lot that I will miss and even more that I will certainly not. So that, my friends is why I am moving on to (hark!) a living wage, administrators that won't treat me like shit, and my own surroundings to do with what I wish. So this is my last day, starting like all the rest, as I get distracted by something and end up just a minute or to late. With that said I will leave this for later, ta ta for now!
