Etsy!

I finally got my Etsy shop set up today! If you are interested in purchasing a magnet act soon, by the end of the week they might be all at Komoda (an awesome local gift shop) and off Etsy. Currently I'm only taking Paypal orders through Etsy because using a credit card more than doubles the fees. Mastercard: Squashing on one artist's dreams at a time. Priceless. Do those ads still exist? Anyway, just click on the "SHOP" link to the right to be directed to my Etsy shop (RustyRoostStudio, naturally 'RustyRoost' is taken even though the owner has never posted anything). Oh and if you want to order with a card, just email me and I can send you an invoice.

Lately I have been making more magnets, even though I would love to be welding more lamps. I did a couple for a commission, they're a cute pair (see below). A couple weeks ago I worked an event for a fantastic theater company called Redmoon. They were putting on the annual benefit party, Lunatique. I helped with props and changing equipment during the show. There was a giant champagne chandelier in which a silks performer did acrobatics and poured champagne for donors, while suspended in mid air!! I feel very comfortable with status as a land animal, so this was mind boggling to me. Not to mention the fear of spilling expensive champagne on rich people. Hopefully I'll be working for them again this weekend, this time helping them make 2D puppets. Can't wait!
