Continuing insomnia

gnommiIf yesterday was Blue Monday, then today is Thesis-less Tuesday. After another night of almost no sleep, I tried in vain to sleep this morning instead. Although that's not strictly the case; more that I tried to wake up and failed to do so convincingly so just lay there hoping for unconsciousness to supervene for the entire morning. To stave off potentially impending depression, which I simply do not have time for, I took the opportunity of a head too muzzy to read and got going with my first beetle commission. This one was for a guitarist, can you tell?
This time: watercolour pencil, opaque and metallic inks, collage. I like the velvety texture from the pencil, makes the collage blend in a lot more.
At least it's sunny out now, what a difference that makes! :D

Glad to hear your gig went well btw and am still holding my breath re: your big news!

I'd buy one (depending on cost and budget of course).

Date: 2009-09-09 10:36 am (UTC)how do you find selling on Etsy, by the way?

Date: 2009-09-09 10:41 am (UTC)Pros: love the site design and how easy it is to set up shop, shop fees are reasonable
Cons: with the high # of sellers, it's hard to get noticed and people to buy when there's so much selection! Doesn't help that your items get bumped down in search listings because of the THOUSANDS of items being listed everyday.
Overall I just hope to sell 1 thing a week... that would make me so happy :p
