More Sperm!

I listed another pair of sperm earrings today!!

I'm so very proud of them! I also edited the section of my shop where they were and also edited my etsy tags so they can now be found under geekery instead of jewelry.

I need to make up a bunch more and take them with me when I visit Texas to see if Madame Leah wants to buy up a bunch of them to sell alongside all of the other things sold at Rocky each week.

I'm not sure if I ever mentioned that before...Back home in Fort Worth, TX I went to see The Rocky Horror Picture Show as performed by Los Bastardos (www.losbastardos.com). As a matter of fact, I worked at the theater that hosts them for a year. They're good people so if you're ever in the area on a Saturday you should go check them out!

Hmm, I need to get back to creating!

Oh Cloudy...

Here I had planned on walking to the post office today to mail off a few things, but it's so nasty and cloudy out! I do believe that it's supposed to rain sometime today, and by the looks of it, it could open up right now and pour out on me if I try to walk! Because, you know, the moment that I start out, I'd be about halfway to my destination when I feel that first sprinkle or three. Then, before I know it, I'd be drenched in the sudden downpour and not only would I be wet, so would my letters!

Why walk, you ask? Well, it's because I don't own a car, nor do I possess a driver's license. Why you ask? Well, it's because I never wanted my parents to have to pay for driver's ed in high school so I tried learning at home and doing it that way. Well, my dad was never motivated to make me go out and drive, so I never did. I've never really liked driving. It asks of too much of my direct attention. Not to mention, I'm scared as hell of other people on the road. I can drive alright, I've never hit anything the times I have driven. I get super nervous on the highway, which is pretty "normal."

Plus, walking is better for you!

Okay, so this was mostly pointless and devoid of anything crafty. Meh.

I'M SO SORRY!

OH MY GOSH I AM SORRY!

I really fail at keeping up with a blogspot blog as well as writing my personal LJ.

I haven't done much in the way of Etsy things lately.

HOWEVER!

I did finally make and list my amazingly awesome porcelain sperm earrings! I'm so proud of them!

When I originally made them, I made them from Sculpey polymer clay, but I soon found out that that's not exactly the best clay to be making jewelry with because it was MUCH too flexible and a lot of it just ended up bending out of shape or breaking. Someone on the etsy forums suggested that I use porcelain clay, so soon after I got some ordered and oh my god! I LOVE THE STUFF! It's so easy to shape and work with. Well, so long as you're in a cool room with a bowl of water ready to use when it starts to dry. It's an air-dry clay and its so amazing!

I'm so proud of how the sperm turned out and I know that it's something that's a little weird and a little out there, but I'm thinking that if I can get the word out about them, then I can get them to sell well and fast!

I promise that I will try to update this more often. I need to start listing much more items on the Etsy shop anyway.

Well, until next time!
