Art pretties!
First things first... I just want to say to all of my LJ friends who spoke up in my f-locked entry yesterday ; you guys are incredible & really, I'm so lucky to have such amazing friends. Did you all read eachother's responses to that entry? Because it was truly touching. Thanks, every one of you. *big heartfelt hug*
Now! On to the pretty stuff!
I do not think I have properly shared the AWESOMENESS of

golden_meliadeshairsticks. I know I go on & on...but that's not the same as a picture...& this one has crossover value, too.
Those are called "Amazon" & you can find them at her Etsy shop...right here! She made those particular hairsticks with a couple of leather leaves I sent her once...aren't those great? I own a couple (ok...four sets!!) of her hairsticks & I can honestly say they're the best-made, most unique sticks I've ever had. If you're looking for something feminine & unique & frankly very affordable, give her sticks a try.
Speaking of Etsy (and aren't I always?), look what I finished & put up in my shop yesterday...
That's not an old picture (you can see the last Frost Dragon mask I made...which also happened to be the first Frost Dragon I ever made, right here), I just finished that mask yesterday. I'm very very pleased with it. Even though I struggled at first, in the end it all came together very nicely. Proof that I can effectively reproduce that particular, complicated mask. Which is a good thing to know.
I almost like this new version of the Frost Dragon better, too. The mane came out very wild & lion-like.
I'm getting much MUCH better with my photography too, I think. *pleased*
I hit a milestone in Etsy yesterday...over 300 people "heart" my shop! That's truly amazing. I've had an incredible three months there (I effectively hit my three-month mark today) and I'm closing in on 100 sales. Awesome! Absolutely the MOST effective online marketing forum I've ever found...ever! Beats E-bay all to heck. I owegolden_meliadesa mountain of gratitude for turning me on to that site.
