Unbreaking Vegetarianism

When I was 13 I decided to stop eating meat. When I turned 18- and this is 99.9% Anthony Bourdain's fault - I started eating meat again. I've always regretted it a little bit, and I can honestly tell you that I felt much better when I was vegetarian. When I started eating meat again, it's like everything s l o w e d down.
So I made a decision.
Today, I did not eat meat. I will not eat meat tomorrow, or the next day, or probably ever again. I might eventually work in being vegan, but I am immediately also cutting out all the foods that gross me out when I'm not eating them, which mostly consists of greasy food like pizza and hamburgers. I have a super-strange, strong aversion to seeing/smelling greasy food when it's being cooked (this feeling has increased as I've gotten older) so it's only logical that I just stop eating that stuff along with switching to meatless.
Wish me luck, guys! To celebrate I found a lovely Vegan Dessert Recipe:

Adventures in Woodburning

I got a woodburning tool last Tuesday! It was 39.99 at Micheals but it was on sale for 19.99 (bam)
I'm not looking to become a pyrographer or anything I just want to make some decorative bits and bobs for an upcoming project that I will be blogging about in the next few weeks.... anyways, here's my crack at it:




So I've done this henna-esque picture frame, a little heart plaque with mine and Mr.Spook's initials, a bat plaque with heat transfer text, and this little button. I don't have a picture of the first thing I made, which was just a little kitchen clothespin. I'm also working on a birdhouse right now, pics to come when I'm finished.

Sunday

black on black, on black.



I had a shite week so i made this

Some Serious Zazzle Silliness

Sometimes I have too much time to think up silly things I'd like to see on t-shirts or mugs. When that happens, I design them and put them on Zazzle :P














Friday

KillJar Mini-Makeover!

 I re-shot all my photos, redid the colors on my banner to match the new styling, and added a photo in with my banner. I'm so happy with it! Even though I know my camera is on it's way out and is giving me sub-standard photos I think my shop finally looks "grown up!"   
I feel like I've matured enough in the past year to actually be able to handle having KillJar without running around like a mad beheaded chicken.

& the three bears

Sculpture and Shenanagins for the Raw Artist Houston Show: Solstice




Draw it again, Pearl Girl digital painting process

So I drew this in my sketchbook last year and started painting it in photoshop. I...didn't know much. I found this file a few nights ago and started playing around. I think I've improved greatly, check the gif:
