Sudden Urge

I started a forum thread of the same name. Suddenly I have a real desire to paint. On a canvas like an artist. I don't know where this is coming from. But I'm looking at easels, not that one is necessarily since this is probably a whim, and reading about paints. I can never just dive into something, even a passing vagary- I blame genetics.

Though, perhaps this will unlock my true calling, or another part of my calling.

More new

I listed these beads today. They're only $1. I'm destashing, everything seems to be piling up and not being used. I also have some in lavender.
Heh, they're both sold!

So since I dropped the 'rjax' from my shop name, I used it to start a new username/shop(pending) on Etsy. I wanted a separate shop for paper goods. Not that I have an inventory yet, but I needed to secure the name. I may end up managing three shops, because now my mom is talking about selling things and her stuff wouldn't work in my shop. A family of Etsy addicts...or at least the two of us. I haven't fully converted her yet.

Change Please

My shop had been feeling stagnant. I wanted a new banner, and was contemplating a name change and opening a second shop for paper goods. (Don't have the paper good inventory yet, but it's a deep-seated thought.) 'LP by rJax' was weird to say aloud and the 'lp' had lost its meaning when I changed from "LPdesigns'.

So now, to match my email address, the shop is 'elpy', the semi-phonetic spelling of 'LP'. I kept the 'A Handcrafted Brand' tagline. It still fits. I made that new banner. I'm getting banner making, I think. I'll probably tweak it a little more. Now I have to find all the places on the interwebs where I've put that name, and change it 'elpy'.

Acute Extrapolated- White Macrame Earrings

These have been listed now. You can click the picture for more information. I'm really happy with these pictures.

We're done with 3 of the 6 shows for Fiddler on the Roof. Today is one of my days off. Wednesday is the other. They're not paying me anything, but it's a tiring little piece of work. Our crew was cut to 6 yesterday. We got one of the people back, but it was kinda dramatic and it was like she wasn't there. I'm tellin' ya. All the drama in theater, at least most, is backstage. Haha. It's fun, but I'll be glad when it's over.

Now I need to go in search of food. I skipped breakfast. :)

Gotta stop

Staying up until all hours of the night. It totally throws off my sleep cycle...which is screwy enough.

So here's a pic of the white earrings I said I made. I finally took a picture. The camera surprised me again and with a little touching up in Photoshop, the pictures looks really nice. Crisp with a touch of bokeh...I think. I really like these. I'm not sure what to name them. They look like these, but they're bigger- not huge but it is noticeable.

Tonight was opening night for our theater production. I think it went off rather hitch-less especially since our crew has undergone some major changes. It's nice to finally get to this point. It almost makes all the kvetching worth it. Almost. It's really a nice play, I love Fiddler on the Roof. The cast does a great job, the costumes are very believable and of course the set is awesome! :P
