Due to Western Australia having the Queen’s Birthday long weekend on an arbitrary day in September so public holidays are spread around evenly, I found myself with a nice long weekend. I had planned to make some little craft thingies to sell at the opening night of the Candy Cult Character Art Exhibition, so thought I’d use the time off to get started on some small clay things.

I still have to finish most of them, but here’s a few progress shots.

The only ones I did finish are these cute strawberry earrings! I only made these two pairs but I’m quite happy with them so might make a few more. Do you think anyone would buy them?

Just a quick plug for my friend Meg, who is a fantastic fantasy artist and has just finished making her own site, Angels & Mermaids. She’s selling prints of her artwork and a few originals, so if you like fantasy artwork please go check it out. She’s also offering a free print to the first hundred people to subscribe to her mailing list! I’m looking forward to getting my print of Frank the Dragon Koi in the mail soon.

Quick note - this isn’t a paid or affiliated plug, just want to help promote a friend and generally promote other artists!

It’s meme time!

1. Take a picture of yourself right now.
2. Don’t change your clothes, don’t fix your hair…just take a picture.
3. Post that picture with NO editing.
4. Post these instructions with your picture.

I don’t have a webcam and left my little point-and-shoot in a friend’s car, so had to do this by setting a timer and dashing in front of the camera to pose. Notice my hair sticking up everywhere as evidence of me following the rules.
