So I am finally caught up. It's been unbelievable, actually. At first, I looked at the long list of things I needed to accomplish, almost died, then two weeks went by and I was done. I guess I was on auto-pilot. Hah!

I even discovered a new brand of polymer clay. Can you believe it? Here I am in black and white with my best pouty face, presenting the new and oh-so melancholy EMO! Sculpey brand polymer clay. It comes in one shade - black.



Fantastic. What will Polyform think of next?!

I've been trying to prioritize my time. I have a tendency of overworking myself to the point that I realize that breakfast was 10 hours ago, and I should have ate something...

So, I've given myself one of those awesome 9-5 jobs. Work five days a week from morning until dinner and take the weekend off like one of those lucky bastards. *cough, JASON, *cough. Yeah Jason, I'm looking at you...

I try to do something else at night. And I think I have found my nightly-calling. No. Not prostituting myself. Although that is a longtime dream of mine...

I have re-discovered an old hobby, actually... something I did a lot when I was a teenager. Chainmaille jewellery. I've made so many pieces, though, that I decided that I should start selling them. I need something to keep me busy at night. And I know that by selling my chainmaille work that I won't be super busy, namely because there are a LOT of people selling chainmaille and so the "market" is completely over-saturated, but if it gives me something to do once in awhile, that's great. I find it very relaxing, and I can easily do it while I am sitting on the couch at night with Jason.

Polymer Clay (sculpting) and Chainmaille (attaching rings together in an articulate pattern) are surprisingly completely different, which is why I like them both. Getting away from the sculpting at night will keep me fresh, and the Chainmaille keeps me patient and orderly. And we all know that Kookie needs someone to keep her in line. It might as well be jumprings...

Anyways. I was like... you know what... people on Facebook probably don't want to see my chainmaille on the Monster Kookies page because they are there to see my clay works. So I thought... "I need a name". Somebody suggested FeMaille, and I thought... that's really awesome... but then I discovered that it was taken. So then I was looking for words with "maille" and I was thinking of uber corny things like "You've got maille." Har har. But then I stumbled on blackmail. Blackmaille. Yeah. Blackmaille. That sounds awesome! Edgy, cool, and right up my alley. Not saying that I am edgy OR cool - you all know that I am a total doofus. :XD:

So I took a photo of some of my work, some jumprings, and some of my tools, found an awesome font for "Blackmaille", and voila - this is what I came up with. A little side project - something to keep me out of trouble at night:



As you can tell, clicking on that photo takes you to the Etsy Shop in which I will be selling these pretty lil' chainmaille adornments, but there isn't anything there yet. Just taking my time with creating a bunch of designs before I list anything. I wanted to use blackmaille as my Etsy name but it was taken. It is taken by someone else that happens to do chainmaille (Bah, I guess all good ideas are taken, huh?) but it seems to just be their username. They don't have any logos or any information calling their shop "Blackmaille" so I figured... meh... I'll just be xblackmaille.

I made a Facebook page, too. It doesn't have many followers yet, but if you guys would follow me, that would make me very happy, indeed! Heeeeere: www.facebook.com/blackmaille

I'll be posting photos of some of my chainmaille here on DA. I don't exclusively show *just* polymer clay on my DA account (I've shown my drawings, paintings, and photos, too!), so I'll just separate it to a special folder in my gallery. :)

Anyways. That's all I really have to say about that...

I have to organize a little party, this weekend. Yeah, Kookie is being social... isn't that awkward. Lmao! It's for a friend of mine, and she would like to drink for her birthday since she rarely does so anymore. She has asked for Gin Gimlets and spinach dip. Very fit for some very strangely coloured vomit, I'd say! Throw some pumpernickel bread in there, and you've got yourself a prize combination. Epic, even.

Blarggggh.

I'm just looking forward to making cupcakes. :D

LMAO, epic colored puke...

Hey, have you ever thought of combining chain mail and polymer clay craft?
