BWAHAHAHAAAAA ... zombies

Eh hmm, sorry I just couldn't resist. I finally got my Zombie Head candy bowl finished and after 2 days of trying got some photos I'm happy with.



I did a bit of research to find a food safe coating that I could use in my bowls and after chatting with several artists (thank you, you know who you are) and a few varnish experts and checking the FDA's very long list of food safe products I learned something very interesting. Polyurethane is actually considered a food safe finish. It's okay to use on surfaces that come in contact with dry foods. So it's safe to use in my bowls as long as I use several coats (3) of it. I painted on 5 coats for good measure! I'm still suggesting my collectors use wrapped candies only and no sucking on candy then putting it back for later. That's just .........gross.

SOLD  Thank you Amy!

Trying Ebay once again.

I use to sell on Ebay, actually did fairly well there once upon a time. Then I got angry with Ebay, I didn't like all the changes going on, didn't like the feeling that artists were being buried there. So one day I said poohpooh to Ebay, closed my store and moved to a shiny new place called Etsy. I like Etsy, I really do. It has the comfy feel of home but ....... I do know that if I want to expand my collectors base I need to offer art on Ebay again. Let's face it, as much as I like Etsy, and I do plan to stay there, Ebay just has a lot more eyes viewing auctions. More eyes = more potential sales plain and simple. So I'm going to give Ebay another try.

I've just listed my Dust E. Bunny there. You can find the listing by clicking my Ebay badge on the right side of my blog. Here's to hard work and a bit of luck. (Universe, are you listening?)

Yawn ..... too early

My hubbahubby and I are up early this morning, 4 am. Two cups of coffee and we're off for a 3 hour drive to go pick up my daughter. She's going to spend a week with us and I'm looking forward to it, I'm not looking forward to the drive. Poor hubbahubby, woke up with one ear plugged and a sniffy nose. Kinda reminds me of my dog the way he keeps shaking his head, poor guy. (hubbahubby, not the dog.)
