(no subject)

Looks like the imaging unit on one of my printers needs replaced. It's out of warranty. (By, like a year.) So, I call to order one today so I can get it as soon as possible... and miss their open hours by FIVE minutes. Now I have to wait until Monday. RATS. I'm 20 cards short on this wholesale order and 6 cards short on another. (I did get some hundred-odd cards successfully printed and folded, so that's a plus.)

That's also my label-printing printer, or I was going to open ordering for chai and peppermint teas and biting pear soaps. Bah!

Otherwise, a productive, order-filling day. Have some keychains to make, 50-odd magnets and some stickers to punch and some more packaging to do, and then I'm calling it a day!

2006; The strange, decadent archives of Ellen Million's art

Let's see. 2006 came directly following 2005, and looked pretty rosy by comparison. I was still attempting to be a freelance artist at this time, so a lot of the work that I did was paid work... or work that I hoped I'd get paid for and sometimes did.

( Come and see... )

2006 was a pretty full year, creatively. I feel more like I learned a lot than that I produced a lot of great work. That's worth at lot, though...

Edit to Add: I HAVE MY NEW GLASSES! YAY!

So, I think that at least some of the people who suggested that I re-do this piece were being funny, but it was definitely mentioned the most, and I could come up with a LOT of ways to improve it:



I think I'm going in the right direction, at least...
