A Thing or Two

I’ve been working on several things, and not blogging (obviously). I hear different takes on this: work, don’t blog; blog, don’t work. So I’m kind of in the middleville, working more than blogging, but still blogging. I guess.

I’m signed up for Surtex, booked tickets, and am super excited about the mass of artists that will converge in NY in May. That should be amazing. If you’re going, let me know.

The black on her dress is shiny black glitter, and her hat is debossed. The gold lettering in the “Happy Birthday” is metallic ink. Tres chic!
