So! It's been a pretty busy week around here!

Hermie's got two tarot readings coming up – one a return client from last year (now that's a nice surprise!) She's been just writing and writing like crazy – she's cranking out like 2,000 words a day. That's just awesome. I can't wait to read some more of this soon.

Nevi's got a double commission in the works. She's making fairy paintings from photos of two little girls for their birthday celebration. Won't that be wonderfull! I can just see their little eyes shining.. She's also still working on her other projects – the Spirit Squirrel tarot and my Schwoopie tarot, some Christmas commissions, and she's got some totally adorable Christmasy carousel ponies that I cannot wait to share with you!

I've got multiple Christmas commissions that I'm working on myself (5 dolls!) so that's keeping me pretty busy around the mundane job stuff. I'm also in the process of re-drawing some of the older Schwoopie tarot pictures with the wonderfull new tools that the Bamboo lets me use on the computer. Don't worry, they're still completely my style. I'm not gonna go all crazy digital or anything, I'm just enjoying the little extra details that I can add to my pieces now. And it's much easier to change and rework parts of the picture when you're making it digitally. Nevi and I have both been learning that digital art is not the enemy if you just remember that it's your artwork and you're just using the computer to make it easier, that it doesn't have to change your style at all.

I'm thinking about trying out a new style of doll, which I'm really excited about. And I've already got some really cute Christmas-themed Schwoopie ideas in my head that I can hopefully get finished and posted for the holidays... wish I could come up with something Thanksgiving-themed, but there's really not a lot to work with there.

Draegon's working on some new jewelry. Sadly, there aren't any pictures of his work posted yet because we've had the worst time finding the right lighting for his necklaces, but we think we might have sorted the problem out and, hopefully, I'll have some of his things up soon to share.

The only downside to all this productivity is that Owen (the adorable orange furball that followed Hermie & Nevi home a couple weeks ago) seems to be terribly codependent and isn't taking well to everyone being so busy with things besides watching tv and playing with him! LOL

Updates!

Here's a sneak peek at the newest stuff in our Happy Nakama store on Zazzle:

create & buy custom products at Zazzle

I'm really blown away by how many options Zazzle has for products you can customize! I mean clothes, prints, cards – you expect all that – but ipod cases, skateboards, sneakers, even speakers! Just wow.. how is it tho that with all those options there is still no journal? :(

I did some checking into CafePress again for the 1^st time in ages (because they're the site that has custom journals) and discovered that they now have all kinds of other products that Zazzle doesn't offer. So I might just have to re-open the CafePress store as well. We want to give our fans as many product options as possible, you know!

Nevi finished another card in her Spirit Squirrel Oracle. I'm pretty sure that's 3 now and working on the 4^th card. They're really gorgeous. We've only got one uploaded so far and that's The Hermit. She's nearly done with The Emperor as well & it's just stunning. It's gonna be a really beautifull deck when it's finished. She's got ideas for a couple more tarot/oracle decks, but she hasn't quite worked out yet which ones she really wants to work on, so we'll keep you posted there! Also she's submitted some work to another contest, so we'll see how that goes – wish her luck!

I got a bunch of new things uploaded to Happy Nakama's Deviant Art Gallery! Lysen & Nevi (who are from Inertia Gaiden), this stunning piece featuring Skye & Reggie at the piano (which is actually 4 separate paintings that, when hung together, make one huge, gorgeous painting), Ran & Robbie. There were more, but I'm not gonna do all the work for you! lol

Oh! Don't forget to check out our custom doll auction on Ebay. It runs out tomorrow night! I'm open to any character (anime, tv, movies), any actor or musician, your Aunt Martha, anyone really! I've got pictures of some of my other dolls up on Deviant Art so you can check out my work.

Hermie is in the throws of NaNoWriMo at the moment. She's just banging away at those keys! She's run right past the Day 8 total of words to have done & she's only on Day 6! And wow the work she's doing – like crazy good! Keep cranking out the porn brilliant fiction, Hermie! We can't wait to read everything!
