Featured as the Friday Feature!

MissBMcKay was nice enough to have me as a "Friday Featured Artist" on her blog DIY Addicted! Be sure to visit and read the interview all about my workspace, my favorite part of creating , why/when I started my Etsy shop and lot of other things.

Sorry that I didn't get this up sooner. I spent last night at a gallery opening and then today I was Playing WoW until... wow... until 3:30 in the morning.

I lied.

Twice. Not only did I not post yesterday, but this post--my next post--does not feature any art or Monsters by me.

Instead, I wanted to tell you about a giveaway I stumbled upon that was advertised in another blog, Picnic Basket Crafts, that I read. Jackie of GloryBeHerbals is giving away a sample of a body balm. It is made with shea butter, apricot kernel oil, avocado oil, and almond oil. The scent is a blend of lavender, juniper, bergamot, lemongrass and vanuatu sandalwood.

It seems to enter the giveaway you only need to comment on the post? I'm pretty sure. That's what the instructions on the other blog were, and that's what I did. We'll see. You can enter up until 22 July.

Anyway, she doesn't have many more followers than me, so that means you have a pretty good chance of winning. Be sure to check out her Etsy shop as well.

Featured Etsy Shop: Jenn Gee! (she made this for me)

Alright, I missed doing an Etsy featured shop yesterday, but here is one today.
For Christmas, I bought my sister a coffee corset. She LOVED it.

What, you may ask, is a coffee corset? It is a bright and cheery, re-usable, coffee cuff. Earth-friendly and quite stylish, coffee corsets are great ways to keep your fingers safe after getting a steaming cup from Starbucks, DD, or your local coffee dive! Now, where can you buy one?! From Jenn Gee! The design and craftsmanship is impeccable. The fabrics and ribbons are the best! And the best part? Whenever I stop by the shop, it seems there is always some sort of sale going on. Currently free-shipping is being offered.

These coffee corsets make great gifts and are also fun treats for yourself. I have even considered taking up coffee-drinking (or tea or chai--yeah I'm pretty much a lame-o) so as to warrant getting one for myself!

Then, some stuff from today.

Just joking. If I get anything up today it will only be more graduation Monsters and My Heart for You Monsters as I currently have none in stock. But first I need to make some more.

What I really want to do, is highlight a rather talented Etsian, Hannah Heyer, and her Etsy shop, AmbitiousSnail. Her work never fails to blow me away, and if I had the money, I would surely buy about everything she paints. Whenever I try my hand at watercolor painting, I tend to end up with a seemingly muddy mixture soaking through the middle of my page. Especially compared to the skills Heyer wields!

Back in September of 2008, I bought "Birches," a watercolor ATC, as a gift. When it arrived, I fell in love with it; I decided to start the gift search anew. The painting now sits proudly on display on a bookshelf in my living room. I look forward to collecting more from this artist, and I am saddened by my latest favorite of hers having been sold just days ago.

Be sure to check out her shop! Hannah Heyer is not an artist you want to miss!
