Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes...
Finally I’ve given some attention to my poor neglected little Etsy shop. I hadn’t listed anything new in it since last October. Yikes! So I’ve now changed things around. Out with the old and in with the new. I’ve decided for the time being that I’ll not list paintings/ACEOs but try something different. TtV photos! I seem to be spending more of my free time playing with my cameras than with my paints and I’m really enjoying this TtV technique so it made sense to go this route for now. I certainly don’t consider myself a professional photographer by any means. I’ve never considered myself as a professional painter either. Or a professional ACEO maker person. I just like creating. And I like Etsy. Sometimes the creations and Etsy work well together. And sometimes not. Part of the fun is not knowing, and then the buzz you receive when somebody likes what you’ve done. Likes it enough to purchase it, or make a nice comment, or heart it, or feature it in a treasury or on their blog. I feel really fortunate in having experienced all of those things with my artwork. I’m hopeful that people will enjoy my new stuff. So here are a few of my TtV photo listings.
I'm lucky to have this one currently in a very cool treasury curated by Marebear. Thanks Marebear!
Now with the promotional stuff out of the way, I’ll leave you with a fun quiz to do. I found this on the awesome Tea & Honey Bread blog recently. I don’t often do quizzes but this one I was strangely drawn to.
As it turns out I am an Elmo personality type. I’m not sure how accurate that result is. Especially considering that I fibbed a little with my answers. Purely out of fear of being labelled a Bert. I really didn't want to be a Bert. Not that I have anything against Bert. He's a likeable enough muppet and all. I just didn't want to BE a Bert. That whole vertical striped skivvy look just doesn't suit me. I'm not saying a body covered in red fur suits me either. Ummm...I've no idea what I'm trying to say. Think I'll just be quiet now.
Nope. I’ll be quiet in a moment. I swear I will. I just remembered this award that the lovely Richie from Sweden of Richie’s Inspirational Designs blog gave to me a few days ago. Translated it means “you have a cute/sweet blog”...awww shucks, thanks so much Richie. Ok, I’m being quiet now. Really and truly I am.

You Are Elmo |
You are usually feeling: Talkative. You've got tons of stories to tell. And when you aren't talking, you're laughing. You are famous for: Being popular, though no one knows why. Middle aged women especially like you. How you live your life: With an open heart. "Elmo loves you!" |

Love your new art work:D I really like the flowers...are they Plumeria(?). I would love to be living in them right now. So sick of being cold this winter...must be getting old...I'll just go put on my vertical strip sweater....
Your shop looks great! I love TTV photos.
Secondly, I took the test, and some of the questions could have been answered in a couple of different ways, (like favorite school subject... nap time or detention... hard to choose.) Anyway, I got BERT the first time! I was willing to except my fate until it said that I was a total neat freak. Oh how my mother would laugh at that one, for I may be the daughter of one, but the neat freak gene passed me right over. So I tried again, still answering honestly, and I am now a Big Bird, (which feels much better!) Thanks for the fun! xo
I think you are entirely in your right to fib. No one wants to be a Bert.
Did the Seasame Street test and I'm an Ernie. Almost a Bert but not quite a Bert!
I love what you've done with your etsy shop. Those photos are great. The cranes and buddha are definately my faves. They look like what everyone needs in their life - peace and happiness.
Well I'm off to sleep now. Keep up the great work Elmo!
I agree that "du har en gullig blog" -- I love to stop by, you are so much fun!
I'd like to invite you to my blog giveaway:
Gallery Juana
And I love your photos by the way
: )
Anyhow, I just wanted to congratulate a fellow Elmo on featuring in a beautiful treasury. I note your Peace Cranes has since been sold, so it's a double congratulations.
Hope this doesn't end up in the Duplicate Bin like my last message!
I'd be worried about being 'Bert' as well, I think...
Have a wonderful day ahead!
That's not why I stopped by. I have a little something for you on my blog. I know how much you love awards;) So come on over and pick one up....anytime.
I love the cranes by the way!
Congrats on the new items in your Etsy shop. Very cool! Congrats on your latest award.
Paz
Also, enjoyed the sculpture shadow!
I can't believe I'm big bird (was hoping it would turn out to be Oscar!)
As far as the Elmo thing goes..I didn't even bother..I am "Oscar"..and no sense trying to change now..
