I don’t post very often. I definitely need to post more. But I’m here with a post today!
I decided to stop using Etsy after I was told about Mayhem Marketplace. I applied and got a storefront there; most of my jewelry pieces are up on the page there now.

Just finished getting all of my current items up on Etsy. I have some more stickers at some point, but I’m going through the old designs and choosing which I want to put up, and which I want to rework.

After quite a while, I finally managed to get my Etsy store going again. I’ve gotten all fo the earrings I’ve currently designed up, as well as one set of stickers (more to come), and some Strampunk pins I’ve made.

I keep meaning to post this and keep forgetting to.
If anyone plays Pokemon Go and wants to add another friend, here’s my code. I love to play randomly and do some of the events. (My mom and I did a lot over the weekend for the different things going on.)

#Demisexual flag for today’s #elpisflowers. (Requested by someone I know.)

Got distracted by a crazy day yesterday and forgot to post my #elpisflowers, so here they are. Yesterday was the #agender flag.

Work was crazy. Super crazy and stressful. But I did get my flowers done for the day. Today is the #genderfluid flag.
Hoping to do a little writing or something.

Day 12 and still at it. Bringing you the #lesbian flag tonight. Almost half way through.
At some point, I’m going to try to share some other things, too. But probably not tonight. lol

Tonight’s flag was a request for the Achilean flag. (It’s one of the men loving men flags. Below is a link if you want to read.)

Got the #aroace flag for today. 10 days in and still going strong. I’m hoping to get more flags in that aren’t ones that are represented as often. Feel free to suggest if you want to see a specific flag’s colorscheme.

Day 9 is the asexual flag. Was super tired tonight, but I still managed to make myself get one done. We’ll see tomorrow. I have an eye doctor appointment, then work for a bit.

Finished up today’s early. Decided on the pansexual flag. I’ve officially made it past the one week mark. If you have any requests, please feel free to let me know!

Day 5 of Pride Flag Elpis flowers. This was a request from a friend who wanted the rainbow Pride flag, but in pastels. So, here is that.

Day 2 of Pride Elpis Flowers. Did the bisexual flag today #ffxiv #finalfantasyxiv #elpisflowe #pridemont #pride #bisexual
So, I redid an old Elpis flower design I’d done and cleaned it up. The panels in the back originally had the job symbols. I decided to clean it up and do some pride flags with to. Going to try to do one a day to get back into the swing of drawing. #ffxiv #fanart #elpisflower #pridemonth
I haven’t really sat down and just read in a while. Been really busy with work, and then also trying to do creative stuff (write or draw mostly, but some crafts, too).
Just finished re-reading Curse of the Mistwraith by Janny Wurts. I have all the books in the series now, so I can read it all.
A virtual certificate with text "Celebrating 10M users on Bluesky, #2,147,961, Amanda Smith @amandalsmith.bsky.social, joined on Nov 23, 2023"
Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #2,147,961!
I ordered the Hydaelyn and Zodiark statue from the Square Enix Store back during the first wave of preorders. Mine just came today, so have some pics of it. Hydaelyn side is first. Zodiark will be in a reply. It’s a REALLY nice statue.

Post number 12. I lied. I’ve only done 12. I apparently had two pictures of one. This one was a little more difficult to come up with, because there are some smaller gears I wanted to use. But I found a way to do it. And am pleased with it.
Post number 11. This one as a bit harder to do. I put together a lot of different style gears, so it required a bit more wire to hold it together, but I think it works.
Pot number 10. I decided I wanted to do something with the more brass looking gears. They didn’t really fit with the colors of the keys and feathers/wings, but I still liked how they worked together.
Post number 9. I was looking for something to do with the larger keys, and it was much harder to decide. It’s really the centerpiece of this one, with the gears mostly hidden by it and the wings.
Post number 8. This was my very first one. And I think the ones people loved the most, including me. I was so happy with it, and it’s the reason I continued working on other designs.
Post number 7. This is the smallest one. I had fun with it, as it was the second one I made, I believe. I went for more visibility for the gears and less for the key. And I love how it worked.
Post number 6. This is probably the most simple design. But I really loved the simplicity of it. I think it’s also the one that one of my friends actively said reminds them of the Alexander raids from Final Fantasy XIV.
