I think I may be too busy for a blog

I'm going to try to keep it up anyways. So, for a brief summary of what I've been up to this semester:

I'm currently being featured by our school's literary/arts magazine Straylight for a process piece on stained glass, which cam be read here: www.straylightmag.com

I have been working on a bunch of soft cover coptic books, which I'm planning on selling for $5 or 3 for $10 at a concert/ art show on the 30th of this month in Kenosha. I've also been making some hard cover books, some of which will be coptic bound, others will be hidden belgian binding books. All are filled with drawing paper, and would make great sketchbooks, or journals.





I finished several more juice books, and started working on more candy box books. They're a lot of fun, but I can't eat all the candy by myself, so it's difficult to come by candy boxes, as I don't want to waste the candy.

I broke my twist tie ring a few weeks ago, and it's been bothering me that I didn't have a replacement for it (my ring size is 4.5, kind of hard to come by) so I went searching for a cute design that wasn't too large or too obnoxious, and found the perfect one! I came across Distorted Earth on etsy, and their blogger account, and their heart ring was adorable, so I made one of my own!






I should have pictures of my stained glass finished in the next few weeks or so. I will also have more prints I can post. New books will be posted on my etsy site soon, and as always if you see anything you like message me, I am always taking commissions!

This semester is a crazy one!






I'm working on making more books. Also I've been working on prints - my camera is dead or I'd have pics to show. Also, I'm featured in Straylight this month! http://straylightmag.com/?p=1966 It's a process piece on the stained glass project I'm working on this semester. Pretty sweet. I've been really busy, and I'm kinda behind, but I'll have a lot more to post by the end of the semester!

The big news: I'm starting a web comic! There will be a link once I get it up and running!

Mdm. Swirple has RETURNED!






I finally found it!!! Someone had stolen all the copies I had of this print, except one, and I found them stashed up on top of a cupboard. I also got accepted into the print program today! Exciting day. I think I will post more prints later.

Madame Swirple is about 4"x4", and printed on Rieves Light Weight paper in relief. I'm thinking of making a series of women similar to this one.

Sorry I haven't posted in forever... and I'm starting stained glass!

So I'm terrible at keeping up with blogs, but I've also been working hard on my crafts. I've been getting supplies to start with stained glass, so I'll be posting pictures of that as soon as I start, as well as pictures of the prints I have been working on this semester (and some from last semester.) I've been focusing on print making at school now, which is a great way for me to be spending my time.


I've kind of paused on my resin work, and book binding because it was becoming too expensive for just a hobby. I have been working on wire jewelry, and have several pieces on my etsy. I've been working with real silver lately too. Check it out (www.roboerin3000.etsy.com)

Have a good one, I'll be posting again soon!
