Happy New Year!!

I'm back at MCAD for the remainder of my schoolin', so if things were pretty slow before, they're probably not going to improve. I'm still making things, and I'll still pop in from time to time to share them.

I'm also in a bit of a muck with my work in general, which has just been flip-flopping around like crazy for... forever. So I'm trying things and seeing what sticks, what doesn't, etc., this is how it works I s'ppose.

Basically, I'm just super sorry it's been so dead. = =

Well there goes A-kon 20-something! Thanks so much everybody who braved the heat of the alley to come by, and oh my GOD was it hot. I could only dress up one day it was so bad!

Also, I'm sorry to pretty much everybody who told me I was hard to find. I'm going to change my studio name back to Shirotsuki. Studio Birdseed really does sound like some kind of.. stationary thing.. like.. cute little paper with birds on it and shells and whatever. I guess I thought it sounded more professional than my weird fan-digimon name or whatever, but I have come to realize that it's sounds like it should smell like grandma soap.

I still managed to meet a bunch of you and catch up with just about everybody though, so I'm not about to say that anything turned out super bad : D. We also got to be by our friends Shelly and Kat at the jewellery stand, and Dusty with Scuttlebutt ink. It was amazing getting to hang out all weekend you guys!

So thanks for stopping by all! I had such a blast! Thanks especially to Inuyatta for bringing my sister and I a whole amazing meal on Saturday, you probably saved our lives and I'm not being weird and dramatic when I say that. It was delicious! And thanks to my friend for bringing by the muffins, although you ninja'd off before I could say thanks at the show! Sorry it got so busy, I have a hard time dividing my attention, especially at shows where I don't have help.. it gets pretty rough. Also, thanks to Sunny for the amazing stuffed aminal! He is so cute I can hardly deal. My little sister keeps stealing it from me, catlike, although without the whole problem of it showing up dismembered outside my door the next day. Thank god!

Lastly, ONE OF YOU GOT ME SICK. Who was it?! Seriously, I'm pretty sure you have ebola. I haven't been sick-sick in like a decade, my immune system is a volatile thing possibly made of acid, barbed wire, and hate for anything not my own blood and body parts. So, whoever you are, get to a doctor.

Next show will be Animinneapolis, much too soon for comfort in fact! See you there! Meanwhile, time to catch up on messages that got buried under A-kon prep and recovery uuuuuuuu....

Doing the artist alley thing at A-kon next week again, this time with the help of my lovely little sister. We are going to be doing some Homestuck cosplay. She will be Nepeta, and I am excited about this, because I get to do her maaaaake-uuuuuup.... few things get me excited more than extreme costume make-up. Meanwhile, I am currently sewing gross amounts of yaller lace to my poofy Jane? prospit dress.

I am going to be a fairy goddamn princess.

Seriously though, we hope you come by and say hello. We're loud and friendly types. I won't be able to wander much if at all, but if you come by island F table 26, you will be at Studio Birdseed. Or just look for the table with like seventy million freaking buttons of stuff.

*suddenly awkward*

YUP bye now

*tumbles away to do combat with the sewing machine*

A conventions update! Also, I forgot it was Friday. But that has nothing to do with anything at all, except maybe that the day of colorful explosions and noise is tomorrow?! AAAAAAAHhm so excited for everything. There will be friends and fireworks and excellent food. Mama made gumbo. It's soup with legs!!

SOUP WITH LEGS GUYS.

Anyway, I'm really just here to announce a new convention on my 2012 schedule. I'll see you at Animinneapolis (again) if you're going! So far, Anime Detour (another Minneapolis show) is the only other confirmed-totally going-show. I'm still going to be trying for A-kon (TX), Anime Next (NJ), Mecha Con (hither), and Anime USA (yonder). I'll update as things happen on that front, but, for now, I'm going to continue to jitter about New Years.

Omg New Years.

*jitter* : D
