Good Thing

Props to mister Linotype for putting together a solid blend. Have a listen. It's my current theme song :)

Customers keep making me cry!

A gentleman I met at the last craft fair emailed me requesting a custom plush as his wife's Christmas present. Not only did he add little tidbits about his lovely wife & their relationship so that I'll have a stronger connection to what I'll sew, but he said: 'Keep up the good work... the world needs more artists with joy in their hearts for what they do.'

Gahhh... I totally started bawling with happiness!

It's a very strange sensation. For 90% of my life, I've been an artist for myself. It's only recently that I've opened up to welcome other people's ideas and collaborate with them. It's taken a while not due to arrogance but because I was scared of disappointing them or just not having a strong enough voice. I am still sometimes shaky about taking on new & challenging projects but the desire to grow & become a better artist always wins (against EVIL! teehee). Anyway, that's all. So much happy-crying! I might just be a pool of tears at Bazaar Bizarre if this keeps up!

Sweeeeet

A++++ for Productivity

Sunday, December 05, 2010

I was suuuuper lazy this morning but I turned it all around this afternoon. Guess I just needed a hot boba milk tea in my system :)
brainstorming a commissioned family portrait involving a lemonade stand :)

Amidst the productivity, I got suuuuuper emotional. A little awkward tearing up in a boba cafe but whatever. I read a new custom order request--he wanted me to add a name to the inside part of the earmuffs. I just started tearing up. I don't know... the requests for custom paintings & sewn goodies allow me to participate, recreate or capture a very intimate moment between friends & strangers. I'm just very overwhelmed. I'm sort of providing a way to make their love or gratitude tangible/huggable, and if that isn't the greatest honor then I don't know what is.

Word.

Earmuffs for the winter brrrr

They come in all colors & styles, and made upon request. Order one here!
