Thanks to everyone who participated in the flavor choosing for the lip balm. I won't be able to order any supplies until after the holidays, but I figured I'd get a head start on some label preparation. 4 of 9 labels for lip balm tubes. :-) Firebird Flare is obviously still a work in progress. These are going to be printed at a very tiny 1.7" x 2".



Other flavors will include:
Basilisk Blood
Fenrir's Folly
Gryphon's Glee
Pegasus Pinion
Serpent Spell (sea serpent)

Since the soaps went over so well and I had so much fun making them, I thought it might be fun to experiment with other bath and beauty products. I've been looking into chapstick/lip balm making. One of the fun things about lip balm is that it's not only possible to add a fragrance (like soap and lotion) but flavor as well! To this end I'm curious which supplies I should be purchasing if I decide to make some lip balm in the new year.

Chapstick / Lip Balm Flavor Poll.
If you have the time/inclination, please stop by and vote in the poll. It would be much appreciated! It's possible to check as many as you want, but if possible, please narrow it down to the ones you would like most. The purpose of this poll is to help me narrow it down to the 5-10 most desired flavors so I will know which flavor oils to purchase if/when I make my lip balm. :-)

(All of the lip balm will contain the same basic ingrediants for the lip balm base itself before flavor oils are added, including fruit oils and beeswax!)

For my Deu!

Etsy Update
I updated the etsy shop with several items, including dragon soap, glass pendants, and plastic cel phone charms. I've had such fun making these! There's something that's just plain nice about the act of making things with your hands. I also played with some watercolor paintings while I was on my crafting binge, though sadly the results were kinda muddy. It's something to look into in the future!

If you are interested in any of these things and place an order with the etsy shop soon, chances are still fairly good that it will arrive in time for Christmas (within the US).

Soaps
I didn't think I'd be able to, but I was able to manage to get a small quantity of dragon soap ready before the new year! If you missed out on the first batch, there's now a total of 20 soaps available. Brown Sugar & Fig, Fresh Vanilla, Cranberry, and Eucalyptus & Spearmint soaps are now in stock. (No lavender or black raspberry vanilla this time around :-( When I get some more time next year I will try my hand at soap making again!)


Glass Pendants
All of these glass pendants have already found homes from my DA journal post yesterday, but they're still kinda pretty to see.


Plastic Phone Charms
These phone charms have artwork on one side, and a solid colored back on the other. (Back color of the plastic matches the border around the artwork) They are glazed on both sides and is very shiny! The lariat has a touch of glitter thread woven in.

• 03:57 Recalling Aire swatching lipstick on the back of her hand (like mommy) at Sephora. "Aire make a mess mommy" /lurve #fb #

Today I spotted my left over Trick-or-Treat pumpkin and mask
(yes, I went trick or treating in it!) sitting in the corner..
so I decided to do a photo.



I'm not _too_ happy with the results.
It seems like it's missing something..
Or the lighting isn't the way I wanted it..
But oh well. Was just a quick photo for something to do. =)

For the setup of it, I basically did the same thing I did for my "Cat Statue" photo
(photo and setup of that seen here).

A few works in progress. If I can get livestream installed and running correctly again on my computer, I may stream the remainder of these later on.

Etsy
With the holidays just around the corner, I figured I'd link this up again. There's a few of our standard con products available, as well as discontinued/discounted t-shirts. At this point orders are still likely to arrive in time for Christmas. The postal service gets really swamped this time of year. :-(

I dont know if any of you follow feeds. I do, it's a great way to keep up with blogs or journals even ff.net without having to actually go to the sites. They come directly and filter into your friends list as if it were a post from a community. I'm just sharing a few in case.

Going through my computer today, I came across alot of old photos.

Some I took.
Some other people took of me.
Some that were taken before I was even born, etc.

Some are from the 1980's, some the 1990's, and a few 2000's also.

I'm posting them here mainly for family, and archive purposes,
as I'm sure friends aren't too interested in old photos of me and my family
(unless you wanna see/laugh at me when I was little and stuff. hehe).

There's about 170+ photos in here!
So only view if you have the bandwidth to load all of them, and if you reallly wanna see them.
