Lantern
Originally uploaded by bluedevi

This is the sort of thing that happens when you leave me in the house on my own. I have three million very serious and important things to do, but what am I doing instead? Making lanterns and handmade books. And painting tables, but that's work, of sorts. At least, I get paid if the client sells those.

Once I get a bit better at the stitching, I'm going to make Tempin' Bear notebooks.

Sounds like we need to leave you in the house on your own more often! Nice!

Have you considered taking commissions for the lanterns? :)

I totally would. In fact I might make two kinds: unique ones (decorated to your specifications, more expensive) and ones made from bits of my artwork printed on to heavy translucent paper (cheap).

I'm not going to hassle you to get one, though, because you're trying to reduce your stuff, right? :) Though the square ones are designed to fold flat until you want to hang'em.
