A Tiny Teddy named Cuds...

Here are some sneak peek photos of the model that I sculpted for Mr. Robert Aragon for his award winning childrens book "A Tiny Teddy named Cuds" & I am happy to hear that it made him so happy !

The design IS a Tiny Teddy reading a Tiny book about a Tiny Teddy. I thought that would be funny lol. He measures about 5 inches high and the book is a little over an inch in size. The printers did an awesome job getting detail in the pages .. thank you so much Jessica!

Goodbye Vidme....

It looks like Vidme will be leaving and closing up shop. I will now have to download and resave all of my video's. So my videos may be down for a bit. I have until the 15th when they shut the site down.

It was a "start up" and a "shut down" ... very disappointed in the vidme team people. They boast that they will have something "new" .... well why would anyone want to try anything these people do "new" when they let you down in the end?

I believe the whole thing was a social experiment... they got a quick pay off from collecting our data and then ran. The vidme team were facebook and other social media programmer "rejects"...Thats about it...

My guess. If you want to know what they are saying visit their link ..... https://medium.com/vidme/goodbye-for-now-120b40becafa

Trøllabundin ...Spellbound

Eivør - Trøllabundin (English translation)
Artist: Eivør 
Album: Trøllabundin 
Song: Trøllabundin

Lyrics:

Spellbound
 
Spellbound I am, I am
The wizard has enchanted me, enchanted me
Spellbound deep in my soul, in my soul
In my heart burns a sizzling fire, a sizzling fire

Spellbound I am, I am
The wizard has enchanted me, enchanted me
Spellbound in my heart's root, my heart's root
My eyes gaze to where the wizard stood...


I would also like to add Olena, a beautiful Russian Shaman Woman and her interesting and magical vocals. She is a tribal fusion percussionist and plays her jaw harp...

Spring Baby Birds Invade the Studio

Oh no... they poopied all over the photographers equipment! Well what can you do? No way I could get diapers on them lol!


The Making of Ludo Plushie from the Labyrinth!

Here he is little plushie Ludo... with process photos below. This was a custom request by a fan of the Labyrinth. If you remember at the end of the Labyrinth movie Sarah is back safe at home and surrounded by all of her stuffed animals again...

leaving us to believe it was all just a dream where her collection had come to life. Labyrinth is one of my favorite movies if not THE most favorite! I think all of us doll artists feel the same way. There is a level of art that we all hope to achieve that will never be matched in that movie! If you have not seen the movie...you must check it out!

Faerie Blessings

Etsy Tyranny Update for the Shield Maidens

Looks like Etsy's stock fell and the CEO was fired today! https://techgossip.org/etsy-craters-14-after-announcing-its-ceo-is-stepping-down-and-job-cuts-are-coming/

As a fellow craft shop owner mentioned "KARMA" ....Strange how the article mentions a "faster execution" for the out going CEO. Really? do they plan on executing him?

8% of the workforce is getting fired-hopefully that will be the rude ones like Joey, you know who you are. So I wonder what new rule changes are on the table for the poor shop owners this time? Now we see why Etsy needs the extra fee money from forced transactions placed on Etsy merchants. It looks as though this company is being ruled by "might is right" protocol straight out of Brooklyn and has positioned itself as a direct sledge hammer on the artist crafty home maker population. I am sure they will initiate the "bankrupt buyout" money scam shortly.

Very happy I no longer have to deal with them. I have faith that as positive creative light beings we will  one day soon create a new market system for us to sell our handmade wares for the benefit of the artist directly - without the rules of these parasite companies.

To the creative ladies/Shield Maiden's that follow me... Always remember your energy belongs to you! It originates from your spirit. Do everything in your power to wield and direct it in the way you see fit, not allowing anyone else to misdirect and steal or drain it from you! As long as you have good intentions the Universe will always back you up...keep up your great work!
