I would like to apologize. I can't believe it has been over a year since my last post! Unfortunately, my shop and my blog will continue to remain in a state of suspended animation as all of my energies are currently being directed towards nursing school. I just need the strength to survive this final year. Hopefully I'll be able to get things up and running again one day, after I graduate in the spring of 2013. Thank you to everyone for your support and understanding! </div>

I joined Etsy on September 30, 2005, just a few months after the site first launched. I had been searching desperately for an alternative to eBay, which had always felt like such a vast and impersonal place to sell my artwork. I remember how excited I was when I came across a website specifically focused on handmade arts and crafts, because it felt like for the first time, I finally had a warm and cozy spot on the internet to call home. I had no expectations and no business plans, but I knew that this was the place I wanted to be . . . but what was I going to sell? I ended up going through several phases before landing on the whole "rubber stamp" idea, and waaaay back in the beginning I actually had a shop full of paintings and prints.</div>

This is a video I made many, many years ago, back when I was still in art school and had an obsessive fascination with stop motion animation. I just had to try it out for myself. I must warn you that I am in no way an expert in film or animation so I admit that the result is a bit rough/clumsy (example: the scene with the macaroni pieces is supposed to say "NO", but from the audience p.o.v. it looks like "ON"! bahaha!), but I still remember having so much fun making it. I am currently going back to school to become an RN, and I really miss those days when I had the free time to experiment and do things, you know, just because! :-)<br />

It was inspired by/an homage to one of my childhood favorites . . . Johnny Fedora and Alice Bluebonnet. The Andrews Sisters! Hats with eyelashes! How could anyone resist?<br />

Goats are not minions of the devil. I like goats, and I like drawing goats.
