So... I missed the Allentown art fest application date. I might not be ready for Elmwoods cut off date of April 1st.

Come hell or high water I will be applying to Orchard Parks festival. Weather or not I get in is another thing.

I'll be sending in an app to both Elmwood and Orchard Park this Friday. I think I can get photos ready to go. At least I can be ready for next year?

Good bye weekends and hello prep time!

Omg the screen printing class was awesome!!!

I have a few thing from the class that I'm going to put in my etsy shop. Then I will finish a design for a shirt/print. Which to me, will rock.

Art classes = awesome

Plus I'll be posting about the WNY Book Arts Center. The place were the class was. Such an amazing place with equally amazing people!

The Beast is back in action!!!

I should not be allowed to post at this hour.

There is a Facebook page for Phyr Studios and it is linked to my twitter. Posts will be random.

Art front has new projects and old projects. Jewelry is also in the works. My favorite bead seller said unless I start selling stuff he WILL NOT sell anything to me. He is awesome and helped me with some ideas that were stuck. He rocks.

Three secondary website projects are slowly being updated. One has over 900 photos to be labeled and uploaded. The second needs a crapton of content. The third needs content and research. All of which I should have done during the Snovember storm.

What did I do?

Poked around the sites and drew a little. I ordered (and just recived) sterling silver wire for jewelry because I forgot about the six feet of snow preventing mail delivery.

So... Art is being done. Old and older stuff is being posted to tumblr. And I'm gona try and catch a nap before my alarm goes off.

This is frustrating.

Never mind. My computer savy friend just messages me. He has the new computer running.

I will have a computer again!!!

This.... Wasn't as bad as it could have been. This time I was a little productive with no computer. Some critter stuff was figured out. Some business stuff was hashed out. Money was spent.

But... I am so happy about this! Best way to end a day! (Omg no more abusing my phone for internet searches!!!)

About two weeks ago my wonderful computer savy friend hooked me up with a desktop. This are moving again.

And... I added a new project to my doodle board. This one might be easy. I'm done with the thumbnails and working on drafts.

Its a series...

I think as long as I get a chunk if it done while the mojo is going then I shouldn't get too frustrated. At least until I start scanning and digitizing it.

Yeay for ups and downs!

I am trying to organize while I wait for the new computer. I thought that would be not only easy but fun! Cuz old art can be funny when you can't remember the context.

It is less fun when you can't remember were you put all your note books. Did you make a note about it in a file in a jump drive? Too bad you can't check that there jump drive!

I think my dead computer is laughing at me. Or maybe it's the dust bunnies... Back to searching!

So... My computer is mostly dead. I'm working on getting a new one but it might be in a week or two. It mostly died on 10-8-14 but I haven't been stress free enugh to write about it. The memory was able to be backed up with made me very happy.

Backups are your friends!

Speaking of friends, my friend is fixing up another computer for me. Not as bad as the great computer loss from a few years ago when I lost everything. That one still stresses me.

Oi.

Oi.....

Cleaning up the scans I found that most were not there. This is what happens when I blindly trust things to do what I tell them to.

How ever it will be a cold day in hell before I scan stuff at work again. Or at least not until I have a crap ton of new stuff. Same thing.

So I WILL make this work. Or go insane. One or the other.

So, I managed to get up the courage to ask my manager if I could scan some art after work with their scanners. Dinky little things with auto feed.

She said yes! So I have about 50 things to clean up and post. X3

There are several that will be nice when finished and I'll be putting them in the shop. Uhmmm.... Might switch the shop though. Still looking into that.
