Hey Everybody! I'm Updating My Gay Blog!

HUGE update to my Etsy store.

Holy shit! Look at all them fuckin' buttons!

Moar Moar Buttons

Another batch of nature-crafty buttons, this time 1 inch size. I think I'm getting the hang of this.

The rainbowy swirly bits are silk fiber. Jesse gave me the pick of the bowl because he wanted to see how they'd look in button form. The answer: BOSS.

A bunch of them have a small amount of that pearly shiny flash stuff, but you can't see the sparklies because of the camera lighting. BE AWED ANYWAY.

Night, y'all.

The Stones of Autumn

I made some buttons from some early Autumn leaves I found yesterday:



Also yesterday I saw the Doc again for another round of diagnostic tests. Good God.

I mean it's one thing to suspect there might be a number of things very very wrong with me. Having a psychologist read off a laundry list of diagnoses and tell me I should set up an appointment to see a psychiatrist in October because a physician would be overwhelmed trying to find the right med combination in my case? Different. Definitely an experience.

We did confirm that I'm fairly fortunate in one respect. My issues are, as a group, utterly catastrophic--but taken individually, they wouldn't be nearly as crippling. This will make treatment less of a tightrope walk, from what I gathered talking to Dr. D.

It eases my fear of going out the way Mom did, my OCD and anxiety getting worse and worse and worse until finally modern medicine can't even keep me stable during an induced coma because I'm so anxious I fight the damn ventilator no matter what magic mushroom mega mix they put in my IV.

Preventative care FTW, I reckon! (Even though I'm broke again.)

Recycled Death Note Buttons

I'm using this series of 2" buttons to test out my Etsy account.

These are not fanart. They are hand-made from actual pages cut from an actual copy of Death Note, Volume 2.

Imported, untranslated manga has very limited re-homing prospects in the US, so I've decided to recycle this book and its incredible artwork by turning it into a collection of buttons.

Interested in buying a set? There are six left! Etsy store is here. 1" buttons coming soon!

Today: gotta finish 2 pages of the comic, quit my fitness club membership (don't have time for the hamster wheel anymore because I'm getting plenty of exercise outside with the Captain) install some bike handlebar grippy thingies, wash the household laundry and dishes, pick up for the visits of both Spider and Rah's mom, shop for supplies and make more signs for the protest this weekend.

Oh, and I need to send in my registration info for Kumoricon. They have a table for me! FUCK YEAH! It's going to be my only con this year, I think.

I'm actually excited about it, because it's Oregon and I fucking love the west coast. And all the lovely little roadcuts on the way there and back *rockhound gleam*.

Buttons: The Great Addiction

I kinda went on a button spree tonight.

There would be 15, but the leaf one sucked too much to share without an overhaul, and the Wicca button somehow managed to not save at all.

Buttons are available now from the awesome and sparkling Studio Whipping Boy Button Store!

Life could be worse, I reckon.
