Rueben


Rueben, originally uploaded by catbishop.

My mom had an alarm clock like this when I was little and I always liked it. It's a vintage travel alarm and sides slide over the face of the clock. I found 6 of them at the flea market a few weeks ago and one turned into Rueben.

Friday Happy Hour Sale at Etsy


Old Paris, originally uploaded by catbishop.

I'm spending all my damn time selling supplies and not getting any art or jewelry made so I decided to join Kate Black's Friday Happy Hour sale gang and offer a "buy two pair of earrings get one free sale" until midnight EST. Damn that's a long happy hour... oh well

I've opened a new shop specifically to unload all this crap, i mean valuable goodies. It's http://www.wannabead.etsy.com

I have loads of old stamps, beads, some fabric etc.. honestly i don't even know what I have but hopefully it will all be ending up for sale soon.

I need a robot to do my stuff for me...


Humphrey, originally uploaded by catbishop.

I am seriously not accomplishing anything today. So much so that a blog entry feels like way too much work. Will someone just go buy a bunch of my stuff so I can feel ok about being a slacker today? Please? Don't make me beg...too much effort.

If anyone has any motivational tips please comment, tyvm.

Egg Salad Sally


Egg Salad Sally, originally uploaded by catbishop.

Egg Salad Sally was inspired by two hillbilly encounters I had yesterday. Truly I have no ill feelings toward these people but sometimes it's like being on another planet. The first was at the scrapyard, an old chevy van backed up next to me and started to unload a giant amount of rusty metal objects and gross old appliances. Along with all the metal out spilled two toddlers oblivious to the dangers of being barefoot in a scrapyard. Their smoking Mama didn't seem to notice either. This old copper stew pot came from that family, it has a forged rusty iron handle and some nice copper patina.

The second encounter was at the post office where an old hillbilly man who I developed a crush on was asked the usual "anything liquid,fragile or hazardous question?" and he replied "That there's just a big ol box ah eggsalad." He thought his joke was pretty funny and continued to ramble on about the dangers of egg salad in the mail, spoilage and all.

New etsy prints

People keep asking me to sell prints of my art photos so I am trying to happily comply. I spent what seemed like all day messing with my photo program and researching online photo printing services. All I can say is if people don't buy them I want this day back.
