This is my new laptop skin I got for Christmas..it JUST came in the mail. It looks great and all but shit I ordered it like a month and a half ago, I didn’t think it was ever going to get here. I got it from Tego.com. It’s Fafi, my favorite artist. I love it!

So I’ve been crazy busy lately with so many ideas in my head. I have actually made some of them. This is it thus far:

Polymer clay pendants, not baked or painted yet…I was going for an urchine/ocean theme, and then the lil owl of course because I don’t have anything owl to wear and I love them!

My very first shirt ever!!!! And I didn’t even have a pattern to go by. I’m so proud.

I love the messiness of the circles. I was going for an anthropologie look.

It took me forever to get the bottom even. I think it turned out great for my very first one.

I have decided not to close my Etsy shop just yet. I have received a ton of convos with sad buyers. Soooo I will keep it open thru Christmas and see how it goes. If I’m still not getting anything I’m closing it. At least for now. I might reopen later on. I will still have my account though b/c I am a buyer too.

New Etsy Shop!

I will be opening a new Etsy shop that is specifically for my digital retouching. I have alot of people that want me to retouch their photos for them and I’ve been doing it for free. But I am getting overwhelmed. It’s taking all of my free time so I’m going to start charging. Also I’ve gotten better at it so more and more people are interested.

Here are some examples that will be in the new shop:

These photos are just pics of my friend and I. If you would like to be an example model I would love to use your photo! Just email me at Jennfunique@yahoo.com.

I have other photos I have done for people but they are a little racy so I’m not putting them up here.

Finally Finished Commissions!

Finally! I’m done! here they are…

This one is a redo of another painting I had done a year ago..I didn’t think it was going to turn out but I’m very pleased with the results. Go me! lol

These are a add on to another painting I did that goes in the middle. I didn’t have the original so I’m really hoping they look ok together..I think the colors are off a little. Hopefully she will still buy them. ::cross fingers::

So this is the painting I am working on, obviously not even close to being done. I had to start off with something simple to get back in the groove. I haven’t painted alot in a while and I have to paint 4 paintings by Thursday to take out of town with me..eek! I’m going to Fairhope/Gulf Shores for a family wedding. I’m so excited because I haven’t been to the beach in 9 months and I miss it terribly. Since moving to Huntsville I realized that the beach is my home. I will never be happy anywhere but there.
