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!

Not Exactly for Sale...

I do this cute little art...
Called "Essence Creatures".  Anyway, the only reason I'm bringing this up is I do requests.  If you're not sure exactly what I mean, click on the link below.

What is for sale?

Right now, I've just opened up shop, but Lemon Zinger Crafts already has opened up!!!  Here is the stuff currently for sale.  If you want to reserve something, just comment below.  Also, about the pins.  Why so expensive?

Ok, the actually products.  Right.  Heehee.  ;-)

Mystery Map

So you’ll never guess 

My most recent art project.  Actually, you never will guess, because I just got an idea, no internet, nothing.  Ok, never mind there was a little Pinterest involved in this, but ANYWAY let me actually get to the point.

I’m making a Hobbit Map!!!  *non-exsistant web-audience goes wild*

Its a 100% authentic, hobbit-rune, hobbit-style map.  This isn’t the completed map, but it’s getting there.  I finished all the drawing of it last night, writing the authentic hobbit runes (SQUEE!!!) for all the labels and the border, and finished making those cute little drawings of trees that all cool, old-style maps have.  Here’s a photo so you can see what the heck I’m talking about.

Hobbit Map!  :-)

So yes, that is my AWESOME Hobbit-y map…it’s scrumptious, juicy, AND crunchy!  I’m a huge Hobbit fan.  Who liked the new movie?  And who’s planning on getting it on disk the instant it comes out?  Actually, don’t do that, from all the rumors flying around its going to be super expensive so I would wait.

Getting back on subject, once I’m done it will be caligraphy-style inked, authentically tea-stained and weathered map.  I can’t wait to show you guys!

Inklings?

Ok, so...
Today in history class I learned about how C.S. Lewis (author of the Chronicles of Narnia) and J.R.R. Tolkien (author of the Hobbit <3) had a writing club (yes, those two authors were friends!) at Oxford where authors could talk about their unfinished work and swap tips.  It was called the Inklings.  I was wondering if anyone would like to do something like that?

Not a huge deal, just you could post your stories/beginnings of a book/tips/writing stuff on International Bff's (for those of you who don't know what that is, I'll talk about it in a minute) and the rest of us (the Inklings 2) would comment.  If you wanted me to, I could proof-read and edit it, then re-post it.

This would be for everyone!  However, you obviously need to be a member of International Bff's to use it.  So what is International Bffs?  It's my second blog, which I share with anyone who wants to join.  Everybody is supposed to post about weekly making a constant feed of interesting blogposts for readers to enjoy.  However, no one has actually really joined.  I have four writers?  I think?  Maybe?  Anyway, if you want to join (no pressure...haha joking PLEASE JOIN) email me at skoshimom@gmail.com with your request.  You should get an email back soon after that from Blogger.com.  You MUST accept this invite to become an author.  After that, it's all yours!

Ok, peeps, I'm out of here.  Bye!
