It’s like Shark Week! But with hats… so not quite as exciting. Or at least not as much blood, or mercury-laden piscenes. My hat plan for Sweetwater Holiday mART was very well thought out. My logic: I’m cutting my hair really short right before winter. Meaning that even if I wanted to do my hair … More Hat Week!
Sweetwater submissions are finally done and in. I have a couple Christmas commissions to finish up, and one more I haven’t started yet, but I can finally breathe a little – I am going to make it.

So the traditional moustaches for mo-vember were met by our mohawks. What’s the deal? I’ll be honest, at first Movember seemed like a great excuse to … More For the Prostates!
Better late than never, welcome to November! Which is, as some powers that be have declared, Men’s Health Month. Or something. If men can spraypaint their hair pink, and football players can wear ghastly pink trainers and caps, all for the sake of curing breast cancer, then women can totally participate in supporting men’s health. … More Movember, Moustaches, and Mo…?
Added this edit to the post below, but it deserved its own little note in case anyone misses it. I just found out that my rejection letter from the arts center was a MISTAKE. Good grief! Well that’s comforting. Everyone who’s requested things from me already, THANK YOU, and the items are yours (unless you … More Evaporating Lemons?
Making Lemonade EDIT EDIT EDIT – I just found out that my rejection letter from the arts center was a MISTAKE. Good grief! Well that’s comforting.
