GOTH MOTH

I started with this - a vintage image courtesy of The Graphics Fairy ~

Then made it into this (digitally, with my new Corel Painter Essentials program and Wacom tablet) ~

Put it and its variations onto a bunch of Zazzle products - and then last Sunday I sold this!

Isn't this a cool shoe? Big Smiles for my first shoe sale!

This post is now part of Brag Monday at the Graphics Fairy!

Lammas Time Energy is: "The Earth"

Yesterday, August 2, was Lammas Day - one the four cross-quarter days of the year. Lammas sits halfway between the Summer Solstice and Autumn Equinox, so it's traditionally a time for honoring the harvest and riches of the earth. When I turned to my Star+Gate Cards
to get an energy-weather forecast for this time cycle to the Equinox, the guides appropriately yielded up The Earth ~
