Ostara

This may be a little late on both counts of the Solstice and Easter, but I wanted to post something colorful for spring. <3

As far as catching up goes, thanks SO MUCH to everyone who found me at Wondercon. It was a total blast! I was really really happy to see so many fans from last years conference down in Anaheim. I also really admire the team that puts these conferences together, its hard enough going as an exhibitor, I cant imagine all the work that goes into setting the whole thing up! Good job guys, cant wait to see everyone at APE in the fall!

These are the final few weeks I'll be working on my thesis and putting together my presentation book. Im really feeling the crunch time and the whole "end of school". Its a little melancholy. Im one of those crazy people who actually likes school, and leaving the routine, environment and companions is a little hard to do- especially again. I wont be -done- with my thesis, which is the Fairy Tale, so Im looking forward to working more and more on it after I graduate. But I would really love a job first, haha, student loans. Hello work force, here I come! :D

Wish me luck!

Wondercon 2012!!!

I'll be at Artist Alley table 080!
See you there!!

Baby Dragons and Exploding Paint

I wanted to make another button design for Wondercon, and I thought this little happy fat dragon would be perfect! So I cleaned up my sketch and painted her in photoshop.

Then my cousins brought home some really awesome, crafty things called shrinkydinks. If you dont know what they are- like I didnt- check them out, you can make some really cool things with them! ShrinkyDinks!!

I thought, oh how cool, I wanna try my baby dragon! It said acrylic paint was ok, so naturally I assumed gouache paint would be fine too. I recreated my baby dragon on some magical shrinking plastic.

And then we baked her!

Moral of the story, do not bake gouache.

As my friend Ann put it- "This is what it looks like when things in Sarah's world die, they explode into a bomb of glitter and then gently float away into the sunset."

My poor baby dragon. Shes roughly the size of a quarter and totally exploded.

Next experiment will be with markers, and I've ordered the printable shrinkydink paper too, so we'll see where this goes!

Taking a chance...

Through gentle persuasion I entered my pin-up girl into the threadless loves contest. Please vote kindly for me! :D

Snuggle Lumps and Such

Just a Valentines Day quickie. She was really interesting to play around with losing all the lines. A little but experimental, a lotta bit fun.
