It's been a while since I've stopped by here. Things have been stressful and I've been dividing my time so much lately it's hard to get to everything. A have a very special piece of art in the works that is close to being finished so hopefully I can share that in the next few weeks. Anyways, I just wanted to write about my newish blogs over at Blogspot. I've decided to transition most of my blogging to Blogspot since I prefer the format and features. My previous Livejournal blogs will still be there, but chances are they won't be updated as much (not that I've been doing well with blog updates in general). Below are the new addresses for my blogs: Art & Writings: Jewelry & Crafts: Bellydance: Drop by for a visit if you like :) Have a wonderful autumn!

I just realized that I did not mention my brand new website on this blog. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be so negligent! Anyways, I now have a new portfolio website/official gallery where you can find my favorite pieces of artwork along with some writings, links, bibliography etc. It is located at: www.DesireeIsphording.com. I also have a few new items in my Etsy shop including some hand-carved leather keychains and some spiderweb jewelry! Happy Samhain/Halloween/Dia de los Muertos! New Faery Mask Necklace!

I believe it has been about a year since I last created a Faery Mask
necklace. Thankfully my life is beginning to reorient itself around my
own art- and jewelry-making again and I'm starting to settle into a new
pattern which allows more time for creation. Coyote Concerned is available for adoption. I also have a few other jewelry pieces available as well as some original ACEOs, etc. at my Etsy shop.

Today has been a good day. I had my harp lesson, then brought a bunch of stuff over to my new apartment and reveled in the idea of my own space. The sun is shining and it is warmer than I was expecting it to be.
