This week’s studio photos land today instead of yesterday, probably for no real reason ;3 except I worked in the studio for a long time so the photos are definitely more interested today then they would have been yesterday. Was that really redundant or is it just me? Anyhoo … I’m starting early prep for a Florida show in March that will range from Blythe to kokeshi and definitely include a lot of vinyl.

On the left is a completed kokeshi that I’m so silly over that I’m making it a sister :3 and Ms. Bunny Watkins, my first 3″ Dunny custom. A cookie to anyone who knows what that’s a reference to without use of Google ;3 I still have a lot of finishing type stuff to do on her, but she’s 90% done.

On the right, Miss Peaches up front is “done” though I might change her flower thing at the bottom, not 100% sure about the rhinestones there. In the background you will also see my first Qee in progress, it’s the devil bear baby one, I got it because it was the closest to a rat I could find, LOL!

You can click any of these to view them larger on my Flickr :3

Also here’s a random anecdote – I was walking today when I got distracted by these kids fishing with a net, it was really depressing to me (and lazy), when suddenly this dude power walked by me at top speed, and I looked up to realize I was totally eating the dust of some 70-something year old man. Take that, youngsters! … meaning me!

Brigitte out.

I love low tide at Philippe Park, here’s me acting like a dork there ;3 For my fellow Floridians … isn’t it WTF cold out suddenly? I’m freaking out (sort of)!

Looking for something awesomesauce to make your holiday tree radical? Look no further! The Gunmetal Bambi Ornament has returned to grace us with it’s fawn-tastic presence for yet another year, hurray! This ornament was inspired by a giant, honking metal deer ornament we had when I was a kid, I was always wracked with anxiety on tree-decorating day because I was obsessed with being the one who placed it on the tree :3 Three cheers for deers!

PS: Last night I reached the 900 sales mark on Etsy so I just want to send a little hug out to everyone who made it possible <3 you are all wonderful!

So I bought a bunch (10) zipper pull blind boxes and got one (1) that I wanted, LOL! The silver lining is trading, whee! I have Luckies Zipper Pulls and Tokidoki Netsuke up for grabs, the links will take you to my Flickr where there’s more info about what I’m looking for. If you need any of these but don’t have anything to swap just let me know too :3

New photos of Caurina in black are up on her gallery page :3 I’ve been trying to make a concerted effort to photograph all the girls on a black background as of late.

Caurina’s Dress is from Dollsville and her headband from Art Plonsjeroze :3

Well you know I wouldn’t know what to do with myself without my monthly goals post :3 Three cheers for November!

I had meant to post these to the ZLY Shop yesterday for Sweet Sunday but I got distracted :3 They are Cupcake Lover Necklace in pink and Macaroon Lover Necklace in lavender. I think they make a really cute pair :3 and both are one of a kind!

My litmus test for impending holiday arrival has got to be the sparkle deer at Borders. Last year they had them in black and magenta, solid offerings to be sure, but imagine my delight when Karlen (behind the lens) and I found freaking awesome turquoise glitter deer last night! It was a bonanza! … Then I didn’t buy one. Remorse is what I feel … to Borders!!

Yay! The Zombukis Love You 2010 Wall Calender is live! For those of you who have the 2009 Calender I must say I think the 2010 one blows it out of the water! I’m so pleased with how it turned out :3 There are currently four up in the ZLY shop with more coming in next week. If you’d like to know what other girls are featured just drop me a line, I always want my calenders to be a surprise so that’s where there are only the four teaser images :3

Two fairy tale necklaces are now up in the ZLY shop :3 a remake of the Diving Mermaid Necklace which features faux pearls, and a Snow White Picnic Necklace that is a bright, grass green.

In other news I totally dropped my glasses and broke the frame, d’oh! I wanted to tape them up all nerd-style but it would obstruct my vision too much, a pity! Glue … we’re still friends, right? Then let’s do this thing! lol
