New Hoop Art & Illustrations + My Weekend

The majority of my weekend was spent painting-and it was nice!  I worked on a new art concept I'd been thinking of, basically hoop art but instead of embroidery I wanted to paint right on the fabric, and I'm so happy with how it turned out!  Almost like a chalkboard look with the black fabric.

So I managed to get all of the following items listed for sale in my Etsy shop!  If you like them, click on the image below to go to the listing and see the details, more photos, or buy it! 

I also managed to list some illustrations I had ready.  :) I'm having a harder time than I thought making prints of my handmade art, the scanner makes it look weird and I'm not sure where I can take it.  So for now, I'm just doing the originals.  Again, click on the image to go to the listing:

I'm also going to be offering custom Faceless Fashion portraits soon!  Here's a sneak peak at some of I've done as surprises for other bloggers.  :D You may be able to guess some of them:

Aaaaaaaaand, my Tuesday happy post wouldn't be complete without a weekend recap.  Other than art, I did get dolled up and venture to my friend Max's for a party.  We had a few beers and sat around playing games, it was so much fun! Also, Julie making her boyfriend dress up as Red Riding Hood was priceless.

How was your weekend?

Sugar Skulls in My Shop & Swapoween

This weekend I spent a lot of time crafting and getting things put together for orders and for my Etsy shop.  I've been painting so many Sugar Skulls and masks lately, I'm super excited to share them with you finally!

Aren't they cute?  Here are all of the new listings in my shop, click on the image to check out the details:

And here are the masks I have done and up in the shop.  I really had a hard time parting with the Fall skull mask, as it took a long time and I love the look of it, so I hope it goes to a good home!  Again, click on the photo to see the listing:

I also finished up these awesome steampunk/clockwork skulls for Melanie over at Live Steamy.  She's ordered them for me and will be selling them through her Etsy Shop.  I'll make sure to let you know when she has them listed! :D

In other news, this weekend was pretty laid back.  Friday night Josh and I grabbed some comfort food and stayed in to watch World War Z and The East.  I found both movies to be pretty good, and honestly liked The East a lot too, even though I'd heard absolutely nothing about it prior-I literally only chose it because it has Alexander Skarsgard in it.  Speaking of which, did you know he was in Zoolander?  He looks TOTALLY different now!  If you don't remember it (like I didn't) here it is:

Also, Swapoween Sign Ups are up and ready to go!  So if you like Halloween and Swapping, come sign up!  I've already been shopping and my partner is going to really love their package! Soooooo excited! 

Aaaaaaaand, the amazing Esther from Philly Loves Lacquer is giving away two bottles of her gorgeous All Holo's Eve Collection over at CGSwaps.  Don't miss it! I already ordered the whole collection, just look at those colors-they make me happy.  :)

What colors do you think I should do for more Sugar Skulls?
