An Art Trade
I've always been suspicious of art trades. They just seem like a good way to get ripped off, taken advantage of, and to sell out. Call me cynical, but an early life full of fair-weather friends, bullies, and people willing to peddle their friendship for the day for your lunch cookie leeches the excitement out of 'trading' for art.
Some of you might think me hypocritical because you remember my involvement in a pay-it-forward project. I assure, I am not. Paying it forward expects NOTHING in return. You can't be cheated if you weren't expecting anything back. That model is more palatable to me than trading.
A trade requires you to receive something in return. It opens the door for people to scam and extort (I've experienced the latter and I wasn't even involved in an art trade.). An equivalent exchange is not guaranteed. You MUST negotiate the trade. Negotiations require you to be analytical, critical and in some cases, a little mean. I don't like that sort of activity. So for the longest, I avoided art trades.
Until recently.
A young artist contacted me through deviantart. She wanted to trade for one of my Jack Skellington bracelets. Previously, people who offered me trades were met with a, "Sorry, I don't do art trades." and proceeded to call me 'stingy' for not jumping at the opportunity to trade with them. However, this artist was more polite and persistent than the others. She offered 'anything from her gallery', 'the best thing she's ever made', and 'anything at all'. It was earnest, so I decided to do a trade with her.
However, since she lives in the UK, shipping costs are high, and the Etsy-listed item she requested was expensive to make, I decided to, instead, make something special and a little more postage friendly just for her. I will never, ever, ever make another one like it. Here are the photos.

Gracious!
With all the excitement recently and my health taking a new turn for the strange, I've gotten behind on everything I wanted to do for the last few weeks. I won't lament lost time, though. I have news! There are a couple things to share, actually.
1. I won a contest.
Mich L. in L.A. runs periodic 'Guess the Mystery Item' contests on her blog. After reading up on the different past contests she'd run and becoming inspired to try out some unconventional projects, I decided to enter. Because, why not? It's just for fun, anyway. Well, I entered and I won! I received one of her Ring on Fire prototypes, along with two of the mini-plastic bowling pins she used to make them. Just a few days ago, she posted a tutorial on how to make your own. Check it out!
2. My blog's page view rate has shot up.
This is a good thing because it means that you guys are appreciating my posts. I know that I can be very very silly, so it means a lot to me when my written musings can entertain others. One of my favorite things to do is to be silly, you know. You guys are just enabling me to do it more often.
3. I'm reopening my Etsy shop after months of inactivity.
Those hats and infinity scarves are piling up. We don't live in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, so I can't just magic my room bigger or my projects and supplies smaller to suit my needs. So, I need to make room. Selling my projects for a low price enables me to share them with people who appreciate them and make room for more.
4. I'm brewing a Contest concept.
I hope to have it out in time for spring. I have to figure out some nice prizes though.
That's all for today. I'm going to have a rest now.

To Infinity and Beyond!: Scarves
You've all gotten the memo, seen the trend, heard the buzz... Get it? Buzz?
Yes that's Buzz Lightyear wearing a scarf. Even he knows that scarves are the in thing right now. They have scarves for all seasons: thick, thin, sheer, opaque, bandana styled, ascots, regular old scarf scarves and even Infinity Scarves. No. Not scarves times infinity, but a specific style of scarf that forms a continuous loop.
The Infinity Scarf is a versatile fashion accessory that can comes in a variety of widths, lengths, colors and materials. You can do just about anything with an infinity scarf. It's continuous loop design keeps it from slipping from your neck and enables you to adapt it to suit your needs. You can wear it as a cowl, layer it around your neck like a regular scarf, loop it over your head like an opera length necklace, cross tie it around your body to make a comfy beach top and even use it to tie up small children.
Simply by changing up your accessories and how you position the scarf, your infinity scarf could act as other garments you wear regularly. Belts, vests, cardigans, shawls. You name it.
Check out this video where SecretLifeOfaBioNerd shows us how to wear a wide infinity scarf 21 different ways.
The other great thing about infinity scarves is that they are so, SO easy to make on your own.
With that said, I'll conclude this post by announcing that I will be posting a brief infinity scarf tutorial in a day or two and that I MAY run a contest. Keep your eyes and ears open!
