A birthday present


My friend Ashley's birthday was on the 22nd. Seeing as I'm rather poor, I was trying to think of something fun and creative to make her. Somehow I put together this interesting piece. It's a wooden trinket box, painted with acrylics and decorated with all kinds of random bits I've been collecting and have made in the past, but until now, didn't have a purpose. I'm really excited for how it came out! I almost don't want to give it up. I still have the inside to fix up. I was thinking a fuzzy fur, but we'll see how that goes. Oh, and the glossy top coat to finish.
I was also thinking, depending on the reaction I get from others when I show it off, maybe I'll start selling a few! They were a lot of fun to make and I have tons of tiny doo-dads just lying around. Everyone needs a teeny trinket box!

500!

It came and went in the blink of an eye. 500 sales that is! I'm really grateful to have found Etsy and for all of my customers that I have had. It's been lots of fun and hardwork and I hope to continue doing it for as long as I possibly can.

On that same note, that might be why I've been posting rather infrequently. I've never been very good at time management. teehee.

To make up for my lack of posting I put together a little collage of a few of my favorite and most coveted things on Etsy. I had a lot of fun putting this together. I might make some more! Color themes are my favorite to work with.
