I finally opened up an online store with various prints I take with me to conventions! I'm doing a grand opening sale with 10% off, and all prints are buy 2 get 1 free! So check it out.
Mostly I just really needed to get that 3yr old entry off my front page, but I really don't know what to write in a new journal. So I'll just plug my tumblr that I've recently started.
I'm really late to the tumblr scene... but I think I like it. For some reason it relieves some of the stress and pressure that comes when I try to decide if something is worthy or appropriate for my DA or portfolio site, and I can just throw stuff up on it. So I've been slowly dumping artwork on it... I've collected quite a bit the last 3 years... haha.
Gonna get to the point - I'm selling A-kon trinket leftovers~~ :> They're the same ones' I featured in a previous journal, with some minor adjustments and additions. Sales from this are going to go into getting our comic company off the ground~ <3 We have Under Lock and Key and Without Void printings planned, and we need some money to get that started! Continue reading if you'd like to buy something, if not, you can stop now.

As you can see, I pussed out of making sufficient tassels (I was gonna kill myself), and made these with ribbons instead. I actually like the decision, which was akemichan's idea. They look sportier and match the bookmarks better. And now the two sets are different. <3 Hiruma 1)irenukia Sena 1)irenukia 2)laurbits 3)Jc2theW 4)luthien-chan 5)mamuse 6)chiyokins 7)bunvin 8) Hah Bros 1)Jc2theW 2)rurouni-lu 3)applesong 4)evikted 5)Bosmitze 6)luthien-chan Marco 1)Jc2theW 2)luthien-chan 3)sindarinshadow 4) 5) 6) 7) Rui 1)Jc2theW 2)rurouni-lu 3)Vivid-Humdrum 4)applesong 5)luthien-chan Also, I have no idea why my journal cant seem to display images at the sizes I'm telling it too. Getting it to recognize my height and width parameters is like performing some bizzare mystical prayer, which I never really likened to CODE. So I apologize for the stretched pictures. Following their link will show you their proper sizes. :C

Fugging Tassels
Ok, so, lets all laugh at my pain for a moment. When I decided to make bookmarks with tassels and little paper stars, my brain obviously failed its multiplication tables, because I didn't quite... PREPARE myself. For what, you ask? For the sheer, ungodly amount of tassels I would have to be making to have a decent amount to supply of each character. The numbers are horrific. I really don't know if I will make enough in time, but you can assume that from now until Friday (and possibly through any spare moments in the con), that i will be a tassel constructing machine.
Today was my first real day of manufacturing con goods, and I started with some bookmarks, because aside from prints, they seemed easiest. They're printed and then laminated so they won't fold or bend, and hopefully stand the test of time. Because I am anal I would hate it if a corner bent or anything on one of my bookmarks, so I wanted something kindof sturdy. I handmade each of the tassels from embroidery floss, and embellished each with a paper-crafted star. <3 I wasn't sure if they would look all that great, because I can't sew for bananas so how the hell do i make a tassle??? You-tube fortunately made it possible for the sewing impaired to make some basic tassels. Here's some detail shots. <3 I'm not sure how many I will be making, I'm nervous about how well they'll sell, and I don't know how many tassels I will be able to make in time. BUT! I will be selling any leftovers here. <3 So hopefully you guys will help me out if I make too many. o_<
