That is actually a great idea Wendy! I have not messed very much with resin, but I think it could work wonderfully. If it doesn't sell at the show I will try to do that, it's a very cool idea that allows the art to actually be utilitarian as well as decorative, thanks for the idea! :)

Right now though... let the curtains of heaven part...

I HAVE BEEN HIRED!!!

I am in training right now, but it will soon work into a full time job, and it isn't some lame retail or burger flipping job....OH NO! It is a real honest to goodness 9-5 DESIGN JOB! It's even in the same town I live in; it is a place that creates art glass etchings via sandblasting and other art glass pieces. I will be doing a lot of the art design work as well as pitching in with all the other tasks round about the place. I have been training for almost a week now, and despite all the insane new equipment I need to learn it is an awesome place to work. So I get to not only do hands on traditional art (they like most of their designs to start with real pen & ink), but also working on graphic design digital stuff...the best of both worlds.

Here is my new work place: http://www.moonshadowetchers.com They do some incredible stuff!

So this means I will be able to afford art supplies finally to make more Tiki art...I am ecstatic, after two years of not finding much work (aside from the occasional freelance gig) I am dancing with joy... this is going to be a GRRREAT! Christmas! :D :D :D
