OK so--
I know I'm not super active on dA anymore, and I apologise. I haven't been able to really sit down and draw in a long time, and my fingers have been very busily engaged in learning leathercrafting and metalwork etc etc--in other words, running around with no head.
Speaking of heads, only very recently have I been in a financial position to go see a dentist--and it's been about 5 years since I last saw one. Considering that, the fact that my teeth are as well off as they are is a testament to my OCD need to floss and brush EVERY DAY. That being said, even with insurance, my bill for some urgent work that needed to be done just topped $500.00.
As you guys know, I'm a teacher. I have very, very little disposable income, and the enactment of the Affordable Care Act has hit me (and others in my socioeconomic class) very hard. That being said--I am trying to boost sales of the wire-and-stone trees that I make through my etsy shop.
The trees are usually $20 + $3 domestic shipping, but I am offering them now for $18 and FREE first-class shipping in the US.
I WILL extend this offer internationally, but depending on the shipping cost, I will only be able to offer a $3 discount. This should drop shipping to something around $2-3 for a lot of countries.
I do these trees in your choice of stones and colours, and if you can dream it up, I can probably make it!
Anyway--here is the link to my shop.
EDIT--
annnnnd the heating bill just came and it's $50 higher than I expected. AHHH ASHJKFKJHSG THIS IS SO AWESOME
