AF Bratlife/LemonZ Crafts Official Shut Down

The title says it all.  I haven't posted in 9 months, nor do I have any intention of doing so.  LemonZ Crafts, better known as its original name AF Bratlife, is now officially shut down.  For newer posts from me you can check out my new blog - International Bffs - and for more artwork from yours truly you can take a look at this - Steve the Wimpy Dragon.

Have a great day!

P.S.

This was the 300th post!  Yay and goodbye.

Art Survey

Skimming Pinterest
Should be an official talent.  Like...who can find the ten best photos in ten minutes.  Speed-pinning.  It should be a thing.  Anyway...

So this is how this is going to work.  I have five categories for you (will show you in a minute) and you comment on the category that you love the most.  I.E. whatever category of art work you like the most, I will do that kind.  I also have the photos below that I will use as inspiration so you're not just blindly choosing.  Survey ends April 30th (the end of the moment).  Anyway the categories I'm using are:

1. Disney Fandom
2. Anime/Manga
3. Dragons/other Fiction
4. Nature
5. Other Regular Art Junk

And those are your choices.  I have a particular five Pinterest-found pieces of art/photos that I found that are going to be my inspiration for each of these categories.  Here they are.

Other Regular Art Junk

Nature

Disney Fandom (bonus points this is also Star Wars!!!)

Anime/Manga

Dragon/other Fiction

So that's the categories.  Make your decision what you want me to do.  By the way, I might just have to do one of these these anyway...must do artwork...must.....

Geography Lessons!

Ok,
You remember those maps I mentioned a while back?  I got one finished up and here it is.  This one isn't for sale (it's for my family and isn't mounted) but this is what it looks like!  These only run for 10$ for a custom made map.  Your colors, your state/country, your map!  Check it out!

My Recent Art

Hola.
Before I start, just wanted to mention that the auction mentioned in the last post is totally off.  I sold the page for an English pound, then tape the pound into a "Random object" page.  My bad.

Ok, so my art lately has mostly been from art class, because I've been realllllllly busy keeping up with a killer school curriculum and all my CRAZY electives, some of which I just can't blow off (like Sod Squad - I'm president.  Can't miss that.) and spending time with friends and also working on my crafts and books and blogs and I'm just a little on the stressed side.  I juggle stuff better than a five-star circus clown.

Right!  Where we?  Oh yeah...art.  Anyway, so my mom made these cool shelves specifically for my art work.  FROM SCRATCH!!!  I could never do that kind of thing.  I'm not that kind of crafty crazy.

The selves with all my art work on it.  My favorites are below.

This I did at an event, but I made some changes and took some creative liberties with it.  You like?

Another art class piece.  We were studying the realistic eye and the color wheel, and then we put them together and it was awesome.  And I know that tears come out of the tear duct - I took creative liberty with it.

Top Left - optical illusion I did, Top Right - a cardinal painting from art class, and Bottom - a metal sculpture.

Tell me which one is your favorite in the comments (below)!  Noelle is gone.

The Strangest Item Ever! (Auction)

So I got a new journal!
Some of you have probably heard of it, it's an art journal call "Wreck this Journal" by Keri Smith.  It has all kinds of stuff that you would never suspect an art journal to have, among them, a page that quite literally says..."Sell This Page".  Those are the only instructions for that page.  Well...challenge accepted!!!

Sorry, that's a little hard to read, but it says "Starting at 50 cents!"

So how can you claim this strange piece of art work as your own?  Well, this is an opportunity for our Texas friends also!  I will be visiting Texas in a few months, so this and all other piece of art/crafts can for a short period of time be reserved by Texans (and possibly Florida, but that is unsure)

Anyway, this particular piece is, as you might guess, starts at fifty cents...that's right, this is an auction!  From now (April 4th) through April 30th, all bids in this post's comments will be accepted.  Starting at fifty cents, but just like in all auctions, it will be sold to the highest bidder.

By the way, this artwork has already been mounted, though not framed, so you can put it up as soon as you want.  Bid below!

State/Country Graph Maps Information

Ok,
I have something new for you to look at!  Have you ever wanted a bright accent piece for your house?  Or a personalized map hand-made just for you?  Then you have come to the right place!  The pastel-and-watercolor maps are already mounted and are, as mentioned, hand made.  I'll post photos soon.

I'm working on the states, starting with New York, Florida, Texas, California, and Virginia.  However, I will do any state you ask for - no added price!

How much are these beauties?  Only a cheap $10!  You can order them today here.  Have a great day and I will be posting soon with photos of these amazing maps.

Caps for a Cause - all about

Ok, so...
It's been a while since I posted, and even longer since I talked about Caps for a Cause.  If you'll think back a couple of posts...I make small plastic pins!  Those pins are actually made from recycled bottle caps.

Why so expensive?  Well, Caps for a Cause donates to a program here on base called TNR (Trap Neuter Release) that captures the stray, feral cats around here.  It's great.  Anyway, for every cap sold, a dollar is donated to Caps for a Cause.

Until later!
