So, I jumped off the etsy wagon and put up an etsy store. I figured “why not”? :]
It’s called “Colors and Crafts by karlyl“. I need to push myself more and do more artwork and crafting and yes, need to make a little extra cash, so I’m going to be putting up the rest of my leftover convention prints up on the site, as well as these little skirts I’ve been making for my BJD :] I have a ton of cute fabrics that I’m making clothes and stuff from and I have leftover material, so I thought, what the hey, why not?
I will have a new art piece up in the next few days — one of the angel pieces I’ve been working on.
To be honest, this is also an attempt to not just be a science engineering type of person, but also to grow my artistic ability. I’ve been pretty art blocked/depressed lately, so I’ve been wanting to push myself in the direction of things I really enjoy. There’s been a lot going on in my life and too much revolves around my job, money, family…it’s been a crappy couple of years. I need to grow and stretch to become the person that I want to be. I’ve been giving up too much of myself and feeling absolutely empty and it’s time that all that changed. Follow the dream.
