Crazy Moments [May. 9th, 2008|11:05 am]

celticelff
Every now and then I have crazy moments. It involves a fleeting thought which my brain will spend too much time on.
This morning's crazy thought?

I would like some beehives. I know I'm no Miss Litster (my landlady from Scottish childhood), but I think I'd be a good apiarist.

Plus, randomly surfing the web brought me here and here, and I have a foolish hope that I could make a difference.

That is all.

The Zarryiostrom Chapter 10: Promises [May. 8th, 2008|08:00 pm]

nenethomas
[mood | accomplished]

We finally posted chapter 10 of our novel The Zarryiostrom on my webpage today. I had meant to have a painting to go with it, but work has been too hectic, and the painting that I had finished for Chapter 10, I now loathe, and have since deleted it. However, that has left me without a painting for now. So here finally, is the chapter for your reading pleasure, sans image sadly, and I am horribly sorry for the delay!
It will be quite a while until we post Chapter 11, as chapter eleven is something every business wants to avoid! Hahaha

The Zarryiostrom Chapter 10: Promises

I wanted to post a little snippet from Chapter 10, that I am uncommonly fond of. It deals with Tais, one of my favorite of all my characters, and I think Stevens' writing is wonderfully descriptive of Tais' state of mind. To set the scene, (from Chapter 7, Resolve) Princess Tais was imprisoned in a tower for defying her family and making a most unsuitable marriage. Her husband was killed by her brother, and her baby died. Tais was set free by her mother and has been confined her to quarters ever since. In this scene, this is the first time she has left, (or been allowed to leave) her personal quarters. 
(I did some minor edits so it would make more sense out of context. )

Note: the image below, while of Tais, is not from Chapter 10, nor does it have anything to do with the scene other than being a picture of Tais. This image is actually a detail from a much, much  (8,000 pixels across and crammed with detail!!) larger painting called "Pretty" which is the illustration for Chapter 18.


        "As she left her chambers and walked to the throne room, Tais caught sight of dozens of servants and guards surreptitiously looking at her from every doorway and hall.  None of them said anything, but she could feel their eyes upon her from every angle, and as she passed small groups whispers broke out.  As more and more people came to see her, she realized what was happening.  Apparently, everyone wanted to see the “fallen” princess with their own eyes.  Everyone wanted to be the one that could tell his or her friends that they had seen the living example of a highborn brought low.  She wondered idly just how these people expected her to act.  Should she be raving like a beast?  Crying, wailing, or gnashing her teeth?  Did they expect her shame to show on her face like some sort of a badge or a scar?  Whatever it was they expected, she vowed not to give them the satisfaction of a show or a scene.  They weren’t worth it.  They were beneath her.  Still, the silent stares became uncomfortable during the long walk from her chambers.  She never bothered to return their looks or listen to their whispers, but it was hard.  She felt like a prisoner being escorted to the gallows, with crowds of people gathering to view the spectacle."






On a completely unrelated note, the following images are now available as prints:


                               Severeielle


                                 Earth Moon
Since Earth Moon is the final of my Elemental Moon Faeries set (say that 9 times fast!) I am offering the set of 4 prints at a discount.
Go here to see the special. 
And I think with this, my second set of four Faeries on Moons, I have about exhausted this genre, at least for now. Maybe, just maybe, at some point in the future, I  may paint more Faeries on Moons, but I am fresh out of ideas for them at this point!

My phone is dying.  This isn't so sad - I'm eligible for an upgrade, which means I can get a shiny new one for free.  The question now is whether or not I want to stay with the same company.  I like Verizon, I've never had problems with the service but I may find a cheaper deal with someone else, which means I'd have to change my number.  I don't really have a problem with that, though.  It's like cleaning house and it helps with the stalkers.  Not that I have any, but you never know.  I am kind of awesome.
There was one guy...  We'd known each other for years but had never dated.  Then, I got into a serious relationship with someone else and the guy suddenly decided that friendship wasn't enough.  We had to date.  Like, RIGHT NOW.  I wanted to stay in my relationship and while I was sad to do it, I told the old friend that since friendship wasn't enough for him, we couldn't be friends anymore.  Life isn't like the movies: there's no friendship when one of the friends wants has romantic feelings and it's certainly wasn't healthy for the relationship I was in.  So I ended the friendship.  At least, I thought I did.  Suddenly, I was getting phone calls, emails, and text messages galore.  He was even showing up at my work.  I tried explaining to my former friend that my decision was made and that I'd be sticking to it but it didn't help.  This guy was relentless. He made it clear that he was monitoring my life, watching me and everything I did.  I think he had good intentions.  I think he thought he was being romantic, or at least, proving to me that he still cared, that he was my friend.  But it truth, it wasn't romantic, it was creepy and weird and all he was proving was that I'd made the right choice in cutting him out of my life.  By not respecting me, my choices, or my relationship, he'd proven that he never really was a friend to me.  For a while, I was actually afraid of him.  I realized that I never really knew him, or what he was capable of.  I'd assumed he'd be sad that the friendship was over but would move on with at least a little dignity.   I never thought he'd behave like a lunatic.  Thankfully, he never harmed me, and in all honesty, I don't think he ever would have, intentionally or no, but I was still nervous.   I ignored everything he sent but he never got the hint and finally, I changed my number and blocked him from my online accounts.  That finally ended it.
I'm sure he's okay now, that he's moved on, but man.  Those were trying times.

First Batch Tea Specials

Move 'em out so I can re-order! T'ain't much of a discount, but it's what I can do without feeling like I'm running a charity, and Ursula will get full royalties (which seems fair, 'cause the front labels look fine).

PS: Thanks for all the great input and such! Very helpful!

In which Ellen is (potentially) too picky... [May. 8th, 2008|08:34 am]

So, tea.

The tea is awesome. The tins are fine and only a few got banged up. The labels... are okay. Except maybe on the Dead Dragon tea, where it gets tricky to read the instructions. 'Okay' is not really acceptable. 'Maybe not okay' is very disappointing. It wouldn't be that big of a deal if I were a merchant of tea, but this tea is not being purchased for the tea. Probably not, anyway - this is excellent tea, but people will be buying this for Ursula's hysterical labels. The fronts are fine... I pick them up and think critically 'I could do better,' but I tend to think that about damn near everything (with varying levels of accuracy). But the backs are no better than 'okay.'

'Okay' is not sufficient!

Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.

I will almost certainly have to re-do the back labels - at LEAST for DD - and pay the set up fees again. And 200 tins of this tea will need homes. I will take some photos and perhaps you can help me decide...

Photos added... )

    Been in hospital and a caring heart :) [May. 8th, 2008|11:16 pm]

    jennijart
    Will girls and guys I am BACK and hospital can be jamed up where the sun don't shine. I am out and loose woooowhooooooo just hate hospital.

    I was very sick when I went to hospital got worse sick while I was in there and thankful to my partner I came home early and he adminster the drugs to me by syringe when I need it. His truely the best I could ask for I was so sick and he stayed beside me held me and watch me go through the worse and was there every minutue I needed him . He held me down when I was in agony and stayed when I couldnt hold food down I love him so much and this brought us so much closer I trust him whole heartly. It was such a rough couple weeks and he held me together and then the kids too. I don't care if I sound like I am bragging about him I ain't it's all true if you knew how much he did for me last couple of weeks you be suprised that someone could hold it together through all that and be a shoulder of strength.

    Well I am home now and when I slowly decrease this drug I am on I be back to drawing and painting till then I am just going to doodle and have fun with that and read my computer graphic magazines.

    Also go for heaps of coffee, I have missed my ice chocolates in hospital and chocolate muffins lol and listen to my music loud and watch tv all night when I want to and go for shower when I wish too lol. I don't make a good patient and I don't plan to bend to there ways either I am me and they can take it or lump it. Also I will eat when I want and what I want too.


    Besides all this I haven't been very creative except making pictures out of the curtain around my cubical at hospital some where real kewl but I didn't have a pen and paper to copy them down.
    I still really want to get another tattoo but I know it's bit dangerous now so I will maybe go for one more of a frog . I am sad that they made me take my belly ring out I kinda miss that shiny blue stone looking up to me hope my belly heals over ok.

    I didn't mention how I got this excellent fairy book with the most beautiful old illustrations of fairys by different artist the book just rocks I love it I hope it gives me some ideas to paint.
    anyway
    night night

    Hair photos, finally! And scar photo! [May. 8th, 2008|07:59 pm]

    selinafenech
    It seems I keep managing to finally get hair photos just when I'm about to change it again. Although this style has really grown on me so maybe I won't change it... still, I did want to try a really bright, light coppery red! 
    I have my first chemo treatment tomorrow, and the doctor said it will probably be three weeks till the hair really starts to come out, and I want to get it either cut shorter again or shave it before it starts coming out too much.
    Anyway, here's a photo of how it's been for the last few weeks. Funky no?



    Anyway, I'm all set for my first dosage tomorrow. It's a bit of an unknown, but the first is always the worst. Once I know what to expect the other cycles should be easy, and the doctors re-adjust dosages and medicines to make it better each time too, so we'll see how it goes!
