I just figured out that ama_crafts was old.

Okay, AMA artists... if you sell your work, how do you advertise it? Does it seem to work well? Is it free or inexpensive?

I kind of just asked the same question in AMA.

This is my work, by the way:

Suppose I should post here for once...

Over the Christmas break, my girlfriend graciously posed in front of the camera for an idea I've wanted to try out for a while now. This was just experimenting.. I'm not all too pleased with the final product but this was more of a dry run to see how easy it would be to do.

Will you post an image/sound bite/whatever of one of your most recent pieces of art?

Poet's Journal

This is a birthday gift I made for a poet friend. I used a blank chipboard-cover journal from 7 Gypsies and decorated the covers. I also put small decorations and quotes on each page. A spiral-bound notebook doesn't scan well, so the photos get a bit blurry at the edges...

What is something that is currently bringing you inspiration? Why? Bonus points for Pictures/sounds/excerpts/whatever!

Bird Feeders

These are rough prototypes to see how the birds get on with them. Next time definitely no glaze except, perhaps, the tray for easier cleaning. With a few wires it should be simple to get it to hang. Next post with a bird in there (perhaps).

My first attempt at growing a bonsai, out in the rain this morning.
