synesthetick: the etsy shop

the semester is finally over (thank the lord). now i can focus on knitting and furthering my obsession with etsy. seriously. at this point i have eight pages of favorite items. and so many beads and button supply shops... i guess i just like to look at shiny colorful things, because it's not like i have any intention of making jewelry. like this... what would i do with them? not sure, but i want some.

actually the more i look, the more project ideas i start to think of...

i started photographing the doll hats i have knitted up already, but it was crazy windy outside and the light indoors wasn't that great. sigh, tomorrow.. now to check the max image size allowed by etsy!

hello there! so uh... 2020, huh? ugh. so i've actually been drawing again after like a really long time. except this time i'm working on getting better at using a tablet. i learned drawing and painting and whatnot on traditional media, and my brain always seemed to rebel against doin it digital. lately, finally, it's starting to click. yay! i also got myself on redbubble and put some stuff up there just for the heck of it. still feeling things out. i used to be like, yeah i should totally get into silkscreening and stuff. yeah, never happened. so i'm happy that there's this kind of stuff out there now, and that it's easier for people who don't have access to the equipment and all to jump in and get started. right now there are some simple patterns and weird little drawings. also a couple of my old doll photos. unfortunately can't locate the higher-res versions of most of them. although, i never get rid of anything so they'll probably turn up at
