#im getting some holographic stickers made

[yeehawpim]

Painted this guy while trying to design some stickers.

[freakqueer]

etsy packaging is slowly getting closer to my perfect packaging. i finally, after years, invested in some lovely saturated purple bubble mailers, and once im out of the white envelopes i got a giant box of at goodwill, im going to switch to purple envelopes to mail my patches out in too. i got a roll of 500 cool black and holographic pawprint stickers to seal envelopes with and use as little extras, cut a couple off the roll and stick em in with orders. i have a pawprint wax seal and purple sealing wax for more special orders, and once im out of my current box of business cards, im going to switch to a design my bf made me that incorporates green and purple and will look INCREDIBLE with my new packaging

Im opening up commissions and general purchase stuff. Both for my sewing and for 2d art.

I'll get info sheets made and stuff, but for now I have a list of what everything is, and have tried to provide photos for most stuff.

Here is my portfolio website as well.

http://sleepydesigns.co/

Dm me if you're interested, and we can discuss. I'll remake this post when i get better assets made. I'll take payment on paypal or cashapp. I also have venmo.

Here's a list of some of the stuff i make

Sewing

I make custom dice bags, those are 12-16 depending on the fabric and any add-ons. (Example: mine is embroidered, another has pearls and buttons on it) embroidery can be done but will cost more.

Scrunchies/hair ties. Most of them are cotton, but i make velvet and silk ones. Cotton is 3, velvet and silk are 4. You get a dollar off if you buy 2.

Customizable stuffed animals. You can pick the color, pattern, whatever. on these dolls, and they are made to order. The animals i have are a large dinosaur, large dragon, turtle, rabbit, dragon, and elephant. ( i think thats everything.) These all come with the date it was completed on its paw, so you know how old your new friend is.

Bumblebees!! These are little 7$ plushies that can sit on your desk or sleep with you, each one has a unique patten on its wing. It also comes with the date it was completed, so you know how old your new friend is.

Custom humanoid dolls. This can be from a photo of you or a loved one. Or you can send me art of your character. These are incredibly complex, detailed dolls, and i will work closely with you to make the doll. It's a long process that takes me several hours. As a result, these are at least $200. I only take one or two commissions for these a month at the moment.

I can take other commissions but we will have to discuss that.

Stickers

Potions. Each potion is completely unique. Each painted by me using India Inks. These paper stickers are in 3 different sizes. Small is 3, medium is 4, and large is 5. You can tell me what color you want, and if its not available in the size you want, i can likely make it.

Holographic spider's hat shop. This is a large vinyl Holographic sticker of a jumping spider wearing a water droplet hat, selling other tiny things for others to wear as hats. This sticker is $4. If i have any in may, there's mini paper ones for $2

Milkshake pride stickers. These are paper stickers meant to be semi-subtle pride flags. I have the following flags, and can add more. Lesbian, omni, bi, ace and aro, demisexual, demiromantic, pan, rainbow, nonbinary, trans, and intersex. These are $2 each. I also have a tiny sticker set of all of them for the same price.

Fairy. This fairy sticker is a paper sticker of a fairy holding a mushroom as an umbrella. It is $2

Frog with a tophat. This is a paper sticker of a cute little frog with a tophat. He's rather dapper. $2

Fox leaping. This is a paper sticker of a red fox. It is also $2

Red mushroom this paper sticker will not be remade, i have a few left. It's a cartoony red mushroom in some grass. It's $1.50

? Block i dont think i can really say what brand this is based on. It's a paper sticker. $1.50

Art commissions

It is probably worth mentioning that i have a BFA, so that does affect my pricing slightly (on my illustrative work)

I am flexible in style, and can do a fair number of stylized things. No realism.

$20 for a base sketch

$30 for basic shading

$45 for full shading/the works

Each character after that will be half the price.

A background will be $5-10 depending on how detailed it is. By default you get a plain background

[the-silent-judge]

I can't draw yet, but I do have some stuff about my Deputy oc :0

-Her name is Em/Emma B. These are nicknames, however. The only one within Hope County that knows her actual full name is Whitehorse, just for the sheer fact that he is the head of the Sheriff Department and is thus her boss. Of all the nicknames provided by Hope County, she likes Rook the most.

-Raised in a small Colorado mountain town as a child. A bad fight with her parents as a teenager made her leave home. Was aimless for a couple of years before taking a job as a farm hand in a farm near Hope County. After seeing and hearing about the cult + John buying out the farm she worked for, she quickly joined the Sheriff's Department as an impulse to attempt to help with the cult

-Youngest member of the Hope County Sheriff's department by a sheer year or two. Took the role of 'department baby' right out of Pratt's hands. Can't imagine he took this too well but it's not like he's gonna tell anyone

-4 foot 11. Yes. She is tiny as hell. Makes the saying 'the smaller you are, the closer you are to hell' a scientific fact with her sheer existence however

-She has short, red hair that is too curly and fluffy to really style too much. Large, bright 'yellow' eyes (she claims they're amber. It's more of a light, warm brown tone. Think honey).

-The worst impulse control known to man. Roads? Roads do not exist. People will see her burst through the forests on a out of control ATV and watch as she crashes into 27 rocks and 58 trees while somehow miraculously surviving.

-Secretly loves the cult's music. She can, will, and has listened to it in any way she can if a radio is present in the vehicle she uses. If someone gets in the car with her, usually the moment she turns it on, they're blasted with 'OH LORD! THIS EARTH WAS MADE FOR US!!' before she will violently and quickly turn it off. There is but a moment of silence before she just "....That was a hack- Wow, Ok, this is so rude of the peggies to just hack into my radio like that, can you believe that-?? I know rude and the fact that they literally hacked my car radio to play that song is- wow! Wooow-"

-Of course, no one believes her. Do they speak of it? Course not.

I have a mini AU where instead of killing the Seeds, the deputy simply slaps a 'Junior Sheriff' sticker on their chests and drags them off to have them help beat Joseph and unfuck the messes they all made! Here's some fun bits on this with dear ol Em!

-John was the first one she dragged along. He hated it, but it wasn't like he was going to miss up on an opportunity to skip out on death. Tried to use the flimsily holographic sticker as a way to get what he wants. That was shot down fast.

-Faith was next. She was less aggressive than John about it, as with the traumas and manipulation of the cult, she was more than happy to help a cause that would take them down entirely. It just took a near death experience to turn her views around. She was the quickest to befriend for this reason for Em.

-Jacob was the epitome of 'Why is it in a cage? Because it growled at me...' arguably the hardest to get to be compliant. Thankfully a bit more relaxed due to the fact his little brother John was present, but it wasn't enough for a small while. During this time of "taming the beast", Em found that he takes wolf documentaries like a baby takes sensory videos. Will stare mindlessly at the phone for hours.

-Upon any of the resistance members questioning Em on her inclusion of the Seeds of all people in their fight, she simply says "We're with the IRS!". This tends to just confuse them enough to keep them quiet.

Im half asleep lmao

[mrsvercetti]

hi! i hope you're doing well. can i have a FNaF match-up? my name is terrence (nicknames: T, Ter, Terry) and my pronouns are he/they. i have glasses, brown eyes, short, dirty blonde hair, and i usually just wear casual, comfy clothes. i really like to write, read, play video games, draw, and etc. i'm an infj-t and a scorpio! my favorite book series is the shadowhunter chronicles. i self-ship and stuff. i have a lot of self-insert ocs. im always afraid if i show something about myself, people will just leave me and let me rot alone. i love to decorate things with stickers! i have a few tarot/oracle card decks and i love to use them! i also love to ramble on and on about my latest hyper-fixation or whatever i want to talk about. anyways, i hope this isnt too much! have a lovely day

I match you with....

Toy Freddy!

Toy Freddy is a total geek and would spend countless hours with you.

You are casual and since you both have similar hobbies, he’d connect with you emotionally immediately.

He is alone most of the time since his friends doesn’t like gaming and the other things he enjoy and you coming to his life is basically like a ray of sunshine coming through the window of a dark room.

He always used to play horror games. He would be happy to try out new genre of games with you. That’s his favourite thing to do with you.

He loves your voice and would be happy if you read your favourite book series to him.

He would never judge you, EVER. If you want to talk about yourself or if something is bothering you, you can go and talk to him about it. He’s never the type to leave you based on who you are. To him, you are perfection. He always thinks that you are some sort of Angel. He admires everything about you. He thinks your flaws are perfect.

He loves to read what you write. He doesn’t judge you and would always cheer you on to continue writing. Idk why, but I get the feeling that he’s the type to bully someone online who made fun of your writing, if you post it.

He loves watching you draw, but can never draw with you because he always snaps the pencil in half or he presses on to the paper so hard the lead breaks.

Definitely would love to hear about your self-ships. So that he could compare himself to the character you ship yourself with and try to change his personality based on that character. Because deep inside him, he has a fear that if someone similar to that character exist, you would probably lose feelings for him :( and go away with the new person. You will need to reassure him that it’s not gonna happen.

Definitely would LOVE it if you put stickers on him. He really loves the sparkly or holographic ones.

Had no idea what Tarot Cards were until you introduced it to him. When he found out what they were used for, he kind of became addicted to it. He wants to know everything. Both of your future together, will you guys make new friends etc.

Would hear about your latest hyperfixations so that he himself could get into it. He practically loves everything that you love and wouldn’t even have a single doubt about him not liking it.

small business tiktok is so fucking annoying half of them are like GENUINELY good businesses that sell stuff like homemade clay pins or stickers, clay tableware figurines, pots, etc. homemade watercolours or yarn of other art supplies, metalware and jewelry, glass, prints and canvas art, woodworking, clothes and other fabric products, soaps, etc. most of them also, while maybe not making The Worlds Most lno waste ecofriendly products atleast try to make their their packaging as low-waste and recycleable as they can, and the ones that are independent or self made are genuinely independent or have a small team of coworkers meanwhile, the other half and the most prominent parts of small business tiktok, not to mention the most WHINY and guilt tripping, we have resin and earring tiktok. first off, the fucking audios they use!!??? “PLEASE STOP SCROLLING!!!111!!11!! im just a small business, and tiktok is shadowbanning and hiding my videos so noone can see them ever :’((((( i know im just a small businesss and most people dont care about me at all :’(((( but itd mean the world to me if you liked, shared, and commented on my video 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 pwease? for me?? pweeeaaasseeee???? 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺” its worse than the fucking “like comment subscribe and turn on notifications” shit youtube creators are pulling. and the fucking way they talk and word it? its so fucking entitled and whiny

and its not just resin tiktok, its a very specific part of homemade jewelry tiktok ive decided to refer to as earring tiktok, because they primarily sell those. idk if they bulk buy their studs off of amazon or aliexpress or if they go to target or hobby lobby or whatever yall have in the us, but they then try to frame it like their design is an original one of a kind? i dont have a number on how many times ive seen a small business with a guilt trippy audio complain that noone wants to support or buy their items and then its like. a mini watercolor set or a rubber duck or a pair of cards from a cardstock they bought at dollar store, or some charm or premade stuff that is very obviously bulk-bought from aliexpress or some company that sells bowling alley gacha prices. like yeah theyre cool and they definitley dont sell those at H&M but its also not something id pay over 30 dollars plus shipping for, and not after that guilt trip. not that it wouldnt be hard to find another shop to buy fromt with the exact same or similar product. and then theres resin tiktok. ive seen youtube woodworkers who use resin to spice up their wooden tables, and ive heard about some people who put wedding bouquets or a late relatives ashes in resin to rpeserve them, and im onboard w that! that fuckin dope! but resin tiktok consists of resin coasters (STILL dont understand wtf coasters are good for just wash your table if you spill something), resin jewelry holders (yall ever heard of a jewery box??), resin nonfunctional guns? what???? resin combs (wooden combs? hello?) resin ashtrays and tableware which i am so mad about they need an entire post of their own, resin jewelry (which i can understand to a certain degree because i saw someone put resin on slices of fruit and make jewelry from which looked so tasty and absolutely amazing and i stll want to buy them because they were pretty and not just trendy), resin dice (acceptable as resin dice are used frequently and even if you get tired of them you can sell or give them away to other people instead of throwing them away, and there are people who collect them so theres an interest so if you get rid of them someone would want them, but there are still non-resin options as well which would be cool if people looked into too) starting off with the designs, just like w the earrings i talked abt, theres basically no originality. clear resin with some dried flowers and glitter, or witchy holographic stickers stuck into a mold, btw everyone uses the same 15 molds, i could go to any resin tikok and id find the exact same product and the only difference would be where they placed the flowers and what color it is. usually daisies. i love daisies but not like this. theres also that fucking stop scrolling🥺🥺🥺 audio, so thats fun. and a common issue between all these small businesses, and some jewelry businesses too, is the packaging. there is no need for those tiny cloth pouches. yes theyre pretty but what the hell are you supposed to use them  for after youve unpacked the stuff you bought? they last for like two weeks if you try to use them for ANYTHING else and they fray and fall apart instantly. then the pouch is put in a box or envelope with a ton of shredded paper, then the shredded paper and pouch is wrapped in a fucking silk paper sheet?? what??? thats so much! i bought vintage christmas ornaments\ off of etsy and it was wrapped in less shit than a pair of metal earrings! just put some shredded paper in an envelope, and put the jewelry in a paper envelope in that envelope. better yet, i saw a guy design a special envelope to put his stickers in. do that! anyways, my hot take of the day is basicallly i love small busniess tiktok but i could do without the guilt tripping ans SUPPORT ME!!!! and that resin is a waste. its plastic, its not biodegradeable, and im gonna make a post aout how much i hate ashtrays now

[mikiruma]

im gonna talk abt tf2 and pokemon again bc i can.

scout of course would dig fast pokémon!!! he's probably got a jolteon he loves dearly, maybe even a crobat he was given (as a zubat) in childhood. from who? eyes emoji there are faster pokémon, sure, but a lot are legendaries or bugs- and he's still trying to warm up to bugs. when/if he did, you KNOW he'd be all over ninjask or accelgor. he usually fawns over pokémon he thinks would make him look cool or fit his fight style (ie hit ur opponents the hardest first & dont get touched) but has a weak spot for some of the "cuter" ones. probably tried to lick a vanillish. as staunch a believer i am he'd be from castelia city, i like the idea that he used to be a rocket grunt, or someone who wanted to join team rocket at one point. i was trying to decide if he'd have a type preference but i like to think he's a mixed bag, mostly because every pokémon is cool and exciting to him! if you did ask & he did have to pick, it'd definitely be electric. wait, dragon, obviously... nah, fighting is good. no wa

soldier's partner is obvious! zigzagoon! mostly bc its a raccoon-like lil dude... he probably gives nicknames to every pokémon he sees, not necessarily just the ones he tries to catch. because lets face it, his zigzagoon is the ONLY pokémon that matters to him. well, that and any that catches zhanna's eye. his zigzagoon carries an everstone and is probably stupid high levelled but nobody really keeps track. soldier does initiate a lot of battles, but they're more fun when zhanna's with him too! theyre an inseperable group who probably wreak enough havoc to be considered their own team of hooligans, but who's to stop a happy couple with their adorable op pokémon? also i kinda wrote all that down super quick buuuut zigzagoon also works as a support pokémon for him when his stability gets extra rough, laying on his lap and helping to keep him grounded. he doesnt have any desire to keep more pokémon since he's fine with just 1, but if he had more i think he might get along with loudred or chatot. (chatot would DEFINITELY take some warming up to on his end but i LOVE THE THOUGHT)

pyro loves fire types of course!!! theyre probably the only one brave enough to pet their hotter ones. engineer probably made em special gloves just so they could play with their slugma... its hard to pick favorites, but the ones theyre closest to are slugma and monferno. they also have a solosis who just loves to play! unlike other people who usually just have one pokémon walking with em at all times, pyro tends to keep all three of theirs out of their pokéballs. they worry about them getting cramped or bored, and while its good exercise, sometimes its difficult to wrangle them when solosis has someones hat and slugmas melting through the furniture and monferno found spy's disguise kit.. theyre a big happy family though!! i think pyro would also like fairy types a lot, but if they got a fourth pokémon, theyd probably keep it at a daycare for the sake of themselves and the rest of the team. just in case, they might really want a sylveon or snubbull.

demoman and any pokémon knowing any explosive moves is an obvious fit! i initially liked him and electrode for this, but since part of their biology is exploding unpredictably... maybe that ones saved for battling. or at least not kept at any of the bases. i like the idea of him keeping his battle partners & normal team separate. when he's not drunk, he's a very skilled trainer and actually took a handful of gym challenges when he was younger. of course it started getting tough to balance work and training, but he never intended to get far in gyms anyway- to him it was just a fun challenge where he got to bond with his pokémon. other than his electrode, he's probably also got a charmeleon (whos either causing mischief with pyro's monferno or keeping demo company while he works/naps) and a honedge (who he will spar with sometimes). he used to have several other pokémon, but he eventually didn't like keeping them all abandoned in pc boxes, and ended up rehoming a lot of them. scout probably has a meowth from him, but he wont tell you.

heavy never cared too much about setting up huge teams or amassing a large collection. he never carries pokéballs, but his party is made up of some impressive pokémon. unlike most of the team who catch their pokémon through normal means (trade/gift, fishing, etc), he befriended his naturally. its easy to say one is ursaring, so of course im going to say it. he wont share how they met, but i wanna say he found its egg abandoned and raised it from there. they probably wrestle a lot but theyre always careful not to seriously injure each other. he befriended his mamoswine (then swinub) shortly after, then his abomasnow much later, in between him busting his family out of the gulag & leaving to find work. he left all three in siberia in the care of his family, but has a teddiursa from his ursaring to think of them all by. probably spoils the crap out of em all every chance he gets though, he loves his pokémon as much as his human family and saves recipes for poképuffs & poffins.

engineer wasn't always on board w the idea of a partner pokémon, mainly because he was always into engineering and was sure he'd be too caught up in it to focus on.. well, anything else. sure, when he was younger, he was like most kids and dreamt of being a league champion, but it always seemed to fall through.. until he discovered steel types. he started his journey later than most, but more than anything he's thankful because they help immensely with his work and lighten the load. he has a magneton who.. isn't that bright, but he's cute and thats what matters. he's also got a rotom who occasionally helps experiment with new machines, but mostly just possesses dispensers and rubs itself on everyone and everything. yum, static cling! engie didn't get into battling as much as he thought he would, but he's essentially working his dream job with his best friends (and 8 other dorks) so things are pretty good. this doesnt mean he wont go for human help when hes stumped or burnt out, though! other partner thoughts i had were torkoal, raichu and porygon2.

sniper is probably the biggest pokémon expert out of everyone on the team (well, aside from medic probably.) he's basically a walking pokédex and can tell you all about type matchups. he's also way closer to his pokémon than people realize, and especially closer than any real people. this is especially noticeable with his baby kangaskhan- although with a heavier origin than simply "abandoned", he ended up bonding with heavy over the ordeal. even with more technical aspects memorized, raising this baby was a completely new venture- not one he hated though! he also collects bug pokémon (that he lets scout get close to,when he tries to get over his fear) & has a slakoth that just kinda.. fell asleep on him one time and just never went away. other choices include koamala or krokorok.

medic is like a pokémon professor but fucked up. while he was primarily a human doctor, after losing his medical license, he started to dedicate time to studying pokémon. he doesnt run inhumane experiments on them because i said so. he's working on filling up his pokédex more than anything, and loves listening to others talk about their partners or other species theyve seen. he has his own pokémon too of course! as the team healer its only natural he has healing pokémon like audino and blissey, but he has a soft spot for flying types, specifically the birds. he has way too many pidove. he probably has a massive aviary separate from his medical lab where he keeps more birds, namely pidgeotto, fearow and some starly. he used to travel a lot (especially after being chased out of his hometown), but he saw it as more chances to discover new pokémon. probably has a very illegal form of the pokémon boxes with no storage limit. also probably heard the stories about mew and mewtwo and actually got inspired. probably owns the most pokémon merc, specifically stationery- hey, if ur getting some unethical experiment performed on you by the german guy you tried to rob earlier that night, are you going to pay more attention to his shit eating smirk or his cool ass holographic pikachu pencils??? or perhaps the cutesy eeveelutions stickers on the back of his clipboard???? thats what i thought.

spy looks like the guy who would probably be the least into pokémon, but that couldn't be further from the truth. he's not as wild as scout or medic by any means, but back in his day he was "pretty decent" (a gym leader.) i like the idea of zoroark being his partner, but you know who else is cool??? cofagrigus. gengar. banette. probably the only one on the team to actually get into mega evolving. and the only one with a shiny, but its gengar so we dont talk about that. i wont imply he loves his pokémon over his own family, he's just had a lot on his plate. remember scouts crobat? while hes got a more methodical approach to battling, he doesnt do it nearly as often as he used to. he still keeps his gym team, and though they tend to be more serious than the other pokémon in the base, they do on occasion get into trouble with others, namely pyro's solosis and scout's jolteon. not misbehaving on purpose, just being curious :0 probably uses luxury balls to catch all his pokémon and has an unused love ball with scouts moms name engraved on the bottom. (either for the novelty, or maybe hes trying to find the right one to catch for her??)

ruby cartridge authenticity evaluation

okay so yeah im thinking this ruby is Authentic (why did that autocorrect to be capitalized dhsndb) because first of all the label seems to have been, at least at one point, reflective (despite being in terrible terrible condition currently lol) some bootlegs will just have a regular papery sticker instead of a reflective one

Hard to see in pictures, but the nintendo stamp on the inside of the cart looks identical to my old ruby version (which we got back in 2003 or whenever ruby and sapphire came out, and ours were bought new. Old one on top)

And the cartridge molded typeface on the back looks identical as well (old one on bottom) sorry its hard to get both to be in focus and legible at the same time lol but they look the same in person

the only reasons i have my doubts is 1) I cant see the numbers stamped onto the label but with how bad condition this label is in, it wouldnt surprise me if they did at one point exist, but now do not. The sticker looks like it has two layers - a base sticker and the holographic print on top. The top print is peeling and honestly looks like it mightve been water damaged or something (dont worry, the game works fine lmao)

And 2) the text inside the official nintendo seal is like. Perfectly scratched off. And i know some bootlegs will have the seal outline and shape but with no actual words inside. From certain angles you can see the faintest hint of the golden text, but im not sure

Anyway i cant compare the label directly to my old cart because my old one had the label peeled off by one of my brothers so all label comparisons have to be done by looking at online pictures and hoping the ones im looking at are also authentic LOL

but yeah so my score is: probably authentic, but if its not, whoever made it mustve put a TON of effort into making this thing as close to the real one as possible. its possible they got a fancy shiny sticker and deliberately weathered it to make it look old and used, but thats a ton of extra work when the bootlegs sell for $20 and the authentic ones for only $35

Will you be selling your keychains? I saw the kirby one and a few you posted on twitter and im interested

Hello 💖💖💖

Well uh. I’ve been thinking about it.. If you want a short answer, I really dont think so. Thank you so much for your interest though, means a lot :3

As for an explanation, its quite simple. I live in the middle of nowhere, a very small country. I do not have the possibility to buy charms off of those websites that are dedicated to make merch for artists, like zapcreatives for example. If I were to buy off of them, shipping is extremely expensive and I would have to sell each keychain at a much higher price, I doubt anyone would like to buy a $20 keychain you know + some might come chipped off or broken thanks to the long trips the poor keychains might have to endure and i cant return them! thats even more expensive

Therefore, All the merch i’ve made is hand-made. Including the keychains I’ve posted (half hand-made i’d say). Thanks to my job I have decent machinery that can get some stuff done, prints and sticker sheets turn out pretty awesome. For the keychains, I laser-cut clear acrylic blanks, then print the drawings I made and kiss cut it, paste them in the middle of the acrylic thing, and glue a second blank on top. So the image is sandwiched, it makes it last way longer. Then I decorate it with ribbons, little charms, anything i think fits. Cool thing is, I can also cut vinyl to further embellish the keychain since they come in tons of varieties. I can add metallic bits, or glittery bits, translucent or holographic bits, etc. (Kirby’s stars are golden!) 

Anyhow, for an online audience that are used to the mass produced keychains with top quality, the ones I make do not stand a chance. The sticker i put in the middle might be not fully centered, there are a few bits of acrylic-special glue visible from when I sandwich the image, the two acrylic blanks might be a bit miss-aligned, and a few other things that are not perfect due to the fact that about 60%-70% of the process I make it with my two bare hands as opposed to machines (and im only 1 person working on a bunch of this! i do my absolute best though) 

I get away with selling this locally because artists here are just not a thing. There are no artist alleys at conventions, there are no art merch at stores, no opportunities for artists anywhere. Everytime someone sees my keychains they think its such a novelty! a never seen before item! who knew that a cute drawing could be sold in an embellished keychain form!! No one can compare my keychains to the mass-produced ones because no one owns one, or even knew they were a thing and are willing to pay for them.

In conclusion, I dont think that the items I make are suited for an online art community since everyone is used to top notch quality for a somewhat cheaper price that not many people are going to buy my hand-made lower-quality merch for a more expensive price. + shipping is also more expensive since im shipping from a weird country. What I can do though, is make a guide or a tutorial on how I make my keychains/prints/stickers/bookmarks/pinback buttons/charms/tote bags/jewelry all that kind of stuff and sell it on gumroad for like $5-$10. I doubt many people are going to have a laser cutter lying around or glittery translucent vinyl but I think the artists that are looking to make their own things are going to benefit from it someway or another???? idk but definitely having a shop for tangible things are not in my plans right now, im sorry :(( 

[oswednesday]

my other dream like me and my mom were going to the movies but i was like in high school? and she didnt pick me up from school so i spent over night at the building and i had this plastic green phone that was like thick plastic but you could kinda see through it and a friend who was unclear in my dream but she was there throughout brought me some food and my mom was in the class room like being all bratty about the movies and my friend stood up for me like scolded her for just leaving me and not getting me anything to eat and this part was all like dim toned and cold and then the scene was brighter and i was in a city i use to live in only it was like way way nicer and i was apart of a theatre group and my mom was there at first and she was sitting at the table with three other people like my friends and at the table each was a slider and three types of mini desert as samplers we ate that then ordered and the whole time my mom was sitting there not eating and snipping at me and then started to grab at the food on my plate and my friend again was like wtf are you doing?? it turned out this play was once a grocery store we use to go to when i was super young where the owner would give me a cookie and the dude always creeped me out and my mom made me interact with him and now it was this fancy eating place and as that part of the dream started up mom wasnt like in it anymore like we got menus and it was hard to read and pick and the waitress picked for me basically and i was like oh, okay and the guy came out and was all like i have been in love with you since you were a small child like all in front of my friends and he assumed i was like barely out of teens and i had to make up a bunch of stuff and it was just like say whatever and get the heck out of there and i had to be all like i love you big brother and then he left and my table was just Wreching and the dream switched before we could leave but im P sure we all left quickly

then the dream switched and this one wasnt clear it was like a dimmly lit space that was like a gym locker area the lockers were like a dark pea green and some had stickers on them and there were classrooms like some parts it was just like a school hall way which lead out into this brightly lit medical area and my mom was there again and all these kids were like corraled together and i was suppose to get a shot that i knew was No Good so i got away and found a really neat sparkly sticker that was a pink holographic syringe which i was going to put on my locker as i ran back into that area but i couldnt find it like i got super lost

then i was outside in  a place i didnt recognize from like a real life place and like i dreamt of this area in one spot before i had planted trees by other trees and wrapped stuff around the old ones? or the young ones coming up i cant remember it felt like the first way in my dream but the other way makes sense too and i could see my mom in the shower cause the bathroom had this full wall window that she didnt cover up, the house was really nice but long and the yard was forever and well taken care of and there was a creak that ran along side it and i got the impression that it was just me and my mom in this dream and i knew i had to get this done before my mom got outside like she was stepping out of the shower

 the trees all grew really close together, there was one that i had used a string to help prop a tree up to grow and one of the other trees had a groove in it where the string cut in to grow and another didnt so i pushed the one that did over and it fell over so easy and the break was so smooth like i had chainsawed it and then another had grown up with a whole bunch of holes  in it and it was giving off this terrible energy and i uprooted it too and it fell in the other direction and all that was left were the healthy trees and i ran away back towards the house so it didnt look like i knocked the trees over that they just fell on their own then i woke up!!
