Is it Thursday already ?!?

Too busy this week so taking a break from the giveaways. Got 2 looming deadlines, a messy house, a studio that is beyond a disaster & weekend guests coming. SO what am I doing? Totally slacking off, of course.


While picking up some stray papers, I drifted into doodling fellow Etsy SteamTeam member, Wenchie. I hope she doesn't mind the liberties I'm taking with her pic. She has such a great Grinchie "Don't you trust me?" kind of thing going on.....

Those guys over at the Steam Team are so much fun. Cool costumes, fun gizmos & so much creativity it is truly mindblowing. They've got some great blog's too. Totus Mel's Wunderkammer, Cephalopod Teaparty, and Choklit Chanteuse just to name a few. And I am thoroughly hooked on Tom Banwell's blog. Not only are his leather helmets & misc. gizmos just amazing, but he lets you tag along with great WIP posts. By the way, Tom 's shop was featured in Etsy's Storque today - congrats!

Looks like the Twilight Book/Art club pics aren't up yet, so I'll just give another sneak peak of mine. Here I've started coloring. Unfortunately I used really crappy office paper, so I limited myself a bit. Wanted to go with either some bold flat markers or some nice blended watercolor pencil but the paper was too thin to take any moisture without buckling. I am notorious for starting a doodle on whatever is on hand only to realize too late it is turning into something.

Again, girl is inspired by Oblivion Stock over at DeviantArt. And Bella Swan. And Red Riding Hood, of course. She just keeps popping into all I do lately

No random giveaway this week. Too much going on. Leave a comment before noon (EST) July 9th to enter in next week's giveaway. 1 lucky winner will get a customized art box. For giveaway details & pics of a similar box I made last month CLICK HERE.

Bit O Eye Candy Today


Been busy playing catch-up this week. Haven't had time to create anything new. Played around with some potential blog buttons but have not yet figured out how to make them easy for you to snag. If anybody has a simple how-to, I'd love the help. Have I mentioned what a neo-luddite I can be sometimes?


Lucky enough to be in a couple of great Etsy Treasuries this weekend. If you click on the pics by Monday, they'll take you to each treasury's page where you can click & comment. Or shop ;D


Mine is the little house portrait on bottom center. Many thanks to Etsy seller SantAngeloDesign!


You'll recognize the top right lady from 1st button. Special thanks to Artdecadence!

For some more eye candy, check out Totus Mel's Wunderkammer. You will find a fabulous selection of "the slightly odd, the darkly beautiful, the elegant and steamy pieces of goodness." A wonderful eclectic collection, from corsets to robots, art to airships. Well worth a visit
