san diego wild animal park

We went to the San Diego Wild Animal Park (not the zoo, but affiliated) a few weekends ago, and here is photographic evidence! We fed lorikeets, Justin pet a hissing cockroach (the man is dressed as a cockroach, fyi), we watched a ridiculously horny Bighorn Sheep get disgruntled... all in all, a great day.






Also! I am [finally] updating the shop with new things, so check it out, if you have the time and energy! Birds, lots of birds... and some other fun things perhaps! I also have a show next sunday in Encinitas called ZigZag, so if you're in that area abouts, come say hello! 11-3!

QUEEN BEEEEEEEEE

So, here's those pictures I promised! These are some terrariums I've built (exclusively) for the Queen Bee Boutique. They won't be available in my store, only at shows, because they're super fragile and would get all shaken up in the shipping process.






P.S. Come check out the Queen Bee Boutique THIS SATURDAY from 10am-6pm in Carlsbad, CA. It's gonna be packed inside and out with amazing vendors, including myself!

One of Justin's toys- I got my new camera, so I was practicing taking pictures. It's a sea monster hopper guy!


Dino par-tay. I'm trying to get that depth of field bizness going.


Cool spider we saw outside Justin's apartment complex. He was very hard to shoot, as the camera wanted to autofocus on the plant behind him.


This is Bilius Ballsworth Ballington- my first needle-felted friend. He's a cardinal- I got a kit on needle-felting from fancytiger on Etsy.


This is old, but not old-old. It's a plush I made for a co-worker of her husband (who is also a co-worker). I haven't made a ton of dolls, and my first try at him turned out something close to HORRIBLE, so I completely restarted, and decided to stylize him more. Realistic dolls, in my opinion, just end up in that uncanny valley realm where it's just creep-tastic. So yeah.

More pictures soon, and expect some fabric owls up in the store today/tonight!
