And we're back from AX!

I had a total BLAST too!
Trish Kyt and I went over pretty well in AX, probably because our stuff was not you usual fare. Trish cleaned up on commissions and as usual got some extremely weird ones (OMG! VILE! AAAAHH!) . Kyt cornered our prints market, and while my art sold soso my dollfie crafts did VERY well. I sold out of almost everything I brought. Go me! If we go next year I'm going to make more crafty things to sell. Apparently that is my strong suit.
Trish was a saint and housed us the entire weekend. We commuted to the con center and even though Parking was 12 bucks a day it was better than paying 100 bucks a day for a hotel and a hotel does not come with kitty service and moments of watching Live action Sailor Moon which was COMPLETELY on crack.
It was a fun AX for me mostly because I felt very inspired walking in to Artist Alley and seeing people's other work and crafts. It really made me want to haul out my supplies and make some things just for the heck of it. I was also encouraged to open an etsy store to sell my doll/craft stuff...I think I may just do that.
I have very little pictures to post but I'll probably toss a few up since our Artist Alley table looked spiffy thanks to Kyt's mom and her banner making skillz.
I came home to a very sunburned husband...and I made fun of him.
He is currently sleeping on the floor at night so I don't accidently touch him in my sleep.... slathered in Aloe.
HAHAHAAHA!!! I love you honey but you look like a lil cherry.:)
And I have a ton of other photos to post (May War, Balboa Park, Wedding of Doom, and big shocker, Honeymoon).
This weekend, LoJ. AH! need to finish my wings. I've become quite proud of how I've been making lots of things out of crap I have laying around the house instead of constantly going to the fabric store for supplies. GO ME!

The fox one sits on my wall near my gargoyles action figures.
