So I'm thinking of making my own lolita-ish greeting cards for the holidays. Since I have a lot of time this week I want to do them as soon as I can~

Would it be worth it to order extra quantities and sell them? I haven't been able to find a good place to print them yet. Some are cheap, DA is way expensive unless you have a print account so I'm weighing the options.

Aside from that, I'm trying to think of some themes

Gingerbread I think would suit the sweet lolita's pretty well.
A "Winter Wonderland" piece for something more gothic. (mostly white/dark color for this one)
And maybe a traditional type setting for a classical lolita outfit.

I'll have to play around with the ideas.


OH AND Bodyline is having another design contest!
I think I'll submit my candelabra embroidery design plus some other things I have in my sketchbook. There's about a month until the deadline so, I'm not worried about time at the moment.

It's not like I want to win these designs and get them for free since.. well, Lolita isn't for me at the moment. I just want to see other people wearing them, and it would be really nice to say "hey I designed that~"

how i become fashion designers / photographer / stylist?

The end.

( Wip of titties and lolitas )

So lovely miss xmordecaix said she didn't want to release some lovely "naughty" lolita art she is doing and it sort of saddened me a little! So here is my loli-influenced piece of work that is a tid bit nipply.

Although it is lacking a lot of strong lolita overtones. Any suggestions?

One thing I am thinking is to blow this up about 500% and make it more detailed, I dunno. I'll have to decide later when im not half asleep. It sounds nice and ambitious when you're dozing off..

Go up, reach the stars <3

Prints are amazingly hard to do ._.

I can't focus it seems.

I want to finish my other deco mirrors, but my hands aren't steady enough! I always tend to work on things when I am upset or angry, and this leads to more frustration.

I need to calm down~

I dont think AX is going to happen. I'm short far too much money and with the hours I'm getting at work it's probably not a good financial move to just drop hundreds of dollars.

Ah.. im heartbroken.

Besides this

Ive realized every opportunity I had that was "too good to be true" really was.

Beautiful.

Quite possibly the greatest show ever honestly.

If you aren't a fan, you should be.

So I did some really simple sketches for my would-be calendar, but it's so hard to find a decent print shop that doesn't either A) have a quantity limit (usually around 200) or B) Cost more than $15 to print.

I always feel awkward selling things for too much. Even though I'll be devoting a lot of time to drawing these things, Charging more than $20 (or hell, even 20 seems way too much) for a CALENDAR is a little bonkers to me. The one site i found for fairly cheap is also extremely poor quality, at least from review sites.

Maybe I should work on stickers or maybe some themed cards (Birthday, just cause, etc). Those aren't usually a lot to print, and I would like to hope would sell pretty decently!

Anywho, here are the sketches of the calendar.

No cuts for you~
