Who wants to buy some earrings?

A friend of mine and myself were going to sell some earrings to make some extra bucks after we both didn't do so well at finding a job right out of college. Well it seems that the jobs came for us and these earrings didn't go anywhere but in our own jewerly boxes. Here is just a sampling of what I did and probably wear every once in awhile to that job that ruined my chances of selling earrings!

Artys Fartsy

I selected a few of my art pieces that I've done over the past few years. Here is what I currently have around my own home. Someday maybe I'll sell some of it?
Up close these look like painted sheet metal and a metal sun and moon, but in reality they are cardboard I painted about 4 years ago for college. I wonder if my roommated minded all these colors.


These three were inspired by a friend's roommates black and white paintings. I'd be over their home staring at them and wanting some of my own in what was the smalles apartment my FH(future hubby) and I could have lived in. So one day I painted some and put them above our old red futon. These have lasted longer then the futon.
This one kinda reminded me of flying through space so I gave it to my FH(future hubby) since he is a Star Trek/Star Wars freak. He thought the same thing when I gave it to him.

I painted these a few years back. I wanted something to hang in my college apartment that had loads of colors and shapes and I got it with these. If you notice the way they are together here the beige "path" continues on from one canvas to another.
When the canvases are flipped the "path" still continues. Did I do this on purpose? One would say yes, but actually the answer is no. I did each painting in different sittings. When I put them together to hang them I noticed the "path" united. I give that mistake credit to the art gods, cuz I sure didn't do it on purpose. You can say the path is to symboliz to peoples lives joining together and sharing one path in life. I like it!
I have this hanging above my sink in the kitchen. I am not afraid of color, but unfortanely rent...so painting the walls are out. Instead I paint pictures and hang them around my place.

Here is a present I made for my Future Hubby for a past anniversary(We've been together since 2002). We both are fans of 007 movies and he is a comic book geek. I thought It would be cute to picture us on a cover of a comic book about spies. This is what came of that.

creator or critters




I created these little guys a few months ago from a few patterns that I found online. They are called amiguri animals. They remind me of cat toys, and usually become such things in my apartment for my kitty Jynx. He gets into some trouble when he steals my creations, but what can you do? Jynx seems to do what he wants.
