Finally Got A New Phone Creating Art As Always

Hello all,
I had lost my phone through the recent move and I just now got a new one.  I will still be taking photos of my art via my camera phone.  Until I can afford to get a new camera that is what I still have.  The good news about living in an area where the rent is cheaper I will be able to save money a bit better. Even though me and my family are living in a much scarier area of town.  Gotta keep my wits about me for sure around here.

I am continuing to unpack and get ready to have a giveaway on one of my Youtube channels.  I have to start doing giveaways because I create art everyday and I cannot keep it all.  I am in no position to keep it all nor have I ever wanted to keep every single bit of art that I have created. I did not have as much success with my etsy shop as I thought that I would. A part of me thinks that maybe I could have worked harder with promotion but I have more things to do in my day than to post and promote all day.  I just don't know if it is truly worth to continue with etsy seeing how I have been there since  2005 and my sales don't reflect the time and effort that I put into my etsy shop.

I have tried other places but maybe I haven't given them enough time and etsy.    I still have art up on etsy for sale so you can still purchase some of my creations there.  I just want to start looking into getting a website.  I wanted to use this blog as a website but I have to look more into it.

Until I can post up to date photos of art I am currently working on I leave you with some drawings of winged beings that I may or may not approach tattoo galleries with to see if I can sell them.

Aparrtment Living And Finding Time For My Art

I moved into  a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment in a low income area of California. We are fitting 3 people in one apartment and one fucking crazy cat who is getting on my last nerves. I lost my phone while walking around the new area and all of my art is still being sorted through by me. I have been exhausted trying to get use to the new living arrangements. 

What has  been helping to keep me sane is art. This doll that you see pictured here is one in many dolls that I create in order to express my feeling.  She is a cloth doll, made from recycled and upcycled fabrics. I created a storybook to go with her.  I make doll because the help me to communicate with the world and share my triumphs and struggles through the story of these dolls.


I recently created a storybook as a commission piece based off another fabric art doll that I created.  I will have photos as soon as camera and phone situation are cleared up.
