Nov 2019 Wrap-Up: Good Habits, Winter Goddesses, + Holiday Shop Open!

It felt only natural that I should follow up last month’s wrap-up post featuring my trashed studio with a follow-up shot of it all cleaned up!  I spent my much-needed 2 weeks off getting my studio and office in ship-shape, playing Chrono Trigger, and reading Jacqueline Carey’s Starless.

I didn’t do any art, much to my chagrin, but I’m trying not to beat myself up about that.  Everyone needs a complete unplug sometimes!  I’m back in action now and hopping immediately into the gauntlet of preparing for the next Kickstarter for the Goddesses of Winter enamel pins and the holiday shopping season!  I’m hoping to use the return from vacation as a milestone to test out some new good habits.  

For example, I’ve been testing out the 4 Day Work Week working longer days from Monday to Thursday, then taking Friday as a time to do ‘light’ things, like update my ledger, upkeep the studio, study fundamentals, and work on personal projects unrelated to my main commercial endeavors.  So far, it’s been great having that prolonged free time so I can make more meaningful progress on my lessons and personal fun projects!

Project Status

Birthstone Goddesses Enamel Pins

We are officially halfway done with the entire set, plus, I’ve completed the preliminary concepts for the Goddesses of Winter!  I’ll have a Secret Sketchbook post up soon about their development. Till then, check out this page for a sneak peek and a free coloring page of Lady of February!

Birthstone Goddesses Coloring Book

After much ado, I’ve finally completed all the applications and paperwork for making my book available on both Etsy and Amazon!  However, if you buy directly from me on Etsy, you’ll get an autographed book instead.  Now’s a good time to snag one because of my holiday sale.  Speaking of which!

My Holiday Shop is OPEN!

If you’d like to get 20% off on my coloring book and everything else in my shop, I have a holiday sale going on till Dec 4th!  My limited time Spirits of Winter series is back for the season with prints, holiday postcards, etc.  I’ve also added new prints and originals just in time for the holidays!

(See what’s happening in my shop and give the gift of art while supporting an artist!  Don’t forget the Patreon-only items in my Secret Shop as well. )

And that has been my November!  I turned 38 and continue to work on my dreams.  We’re building them one day at a time!

Thanks as ever for your support and encouragement along the way!
