Squirrel Queen Lanyard Shoppe/CLOSED

[lorikay13]

that's it for the lanyard shop folks. Sorry...but like most things on ECF....it's only cool when it's free. It was going to cost me $50 to keep the thread open so I decided to just let it go since in the last 6 months I have sold exactly ONE lanyard. But at least it was to someone I really like and I really enjoyed making that one. Thanks for all your support to the folks that put me in their signature but you should probably remove them now. I'm not allowed to sell any more and lord knows.....I wouldn't want to get in trouble.

Awesome LK!!! I am glad you were able to work something out with ECF!

 

[Paislia]

Aw, congrats!!!!!! I was on my way to the thank you thread when I saw this! I received mine today and she is beautiful!!!!!!! Did you give that squirrel on the clasp a gumdrop?? You are amazing!

everyone else can see pics of mine in the 2012 new years lanyard for girlie girls thread! I love butterflies - it is absolutely perfect for me!!

Best wishes on the new venture - you have so much good Karma by now it should take off with flying colors! and flying squirrels! <3 ~Paiz

 

[lorikay13]

glad you like it Paislia! Yes those little squirrels are funny....I think that is supposed to be a heart...LOL.....so it must be a Zombie squirrel.

 

[Paislia]

It reminds of the one in your avi - holding that little red ball

I am so glad to see it worked out for you to be selling these here on ECF!!! Thank you so much for sharing all of your beautiful work with us!
Congratulations!
I look forward to all of the great lanyards to come!
Edited to add......omg this one is soooooooo pretty

 

[CalamityJan]

I have bookmarked this new thread to show all my non-ECF newbies! I do believe you are gonna be the new avant-garde artist among the book club, prayer circle, and desperate housewives lady vapers. Good luck with your venture, LK, the grandest success awaits!

 

[lorikay13]

not to sound too sappy....but as long as I'm fortunate enough to be able to do something that makes people happy...I'm successful....I just want to cover my expenses so I can keep doing this. And occasionally make one available to someone who really needs a lift and can't afford one. I think I'll go over to the cemetery and talk to the squirrels.......wake up you lazy dogs!!! Squirrel Patrol!!!!


oh yea.....Amanda....wait till you see the dolphins....hehe

Lorikay, Congratulations. I am so glad to see this. You have a real talent that should be shared. Not only that, to help fund your real passion of helping and pleasing others. May the rest of 2012 be as full for you as it is starting out.

I have noticed what you referenced also...............

 

[Lady J]

Congratulations, LK!!! I'm so happy you've gotten this wish fulfilled. Your talent speaks for itself, and I hope this works out well for you.

I'm thinking perhaps that is my lesson in all this......in Buddhism what we are constantly practicing for is non-duality.....or the ability to see things as they really are without making judgements. MY need is to feel useful and appreciated. Maybe I should just need do what I want to do and if people are dishonest...that's their karma.

 

[CES]

WOOHOO! LK. I'm so glad that you were able to work it out to do this!!!!

 

[Allazar]

Maybe I should just need do what I want to do and if people are dishonest...that's their karma.

Karma is a ....H if it is abused.

*looks around to make sure nobody is preparing to throw a dagger at me while I type this for the reference to a female dog*

If people try to take advantage of someone that way, then it ALWAYS comes back on them much worse in the end. I will give it some thought and will PM you if any practical ideas come to mind, but there will always be those looking to abuse any "system". My consolation is that I do truly believe the first sentence of this post! Congrats LK!

 

[Lauralie]

Best of luck LK you truly have and AWESOME talent creating your lanyards!

 

[lorikay13]

yes well....money talks people....money talks. (meaning we will see how talented I really am if people will actually buy these...LOL)


MY cost for this bead.....$35 NOW this is talent.....I wouldn't have a clue where to start....this is actually hand made out of polymer clay!

I may have to write to this lady and see if she can do a squirrel.

 

[CES]

that is really cute LK. A handmade squirrel would be great

 

[lorikay13]

well I have the Sculpey....that's about as far as it goes.....LOL! But the raven I made seemed to turn out ok and I didn't think I could do that....so maybe I'll just give it try. It just amazes me to see people do this kind of thing......I don't know if it's something your born with or can you actually learn it somehow?

 

[CES]

You can learn it. You've already gotten a good start with your raven.

Most of it is practice and learning to see clearly what you're trying to represent. Then once you see it clearly and can represent it fairly accurately you can mess with it- that's when the fun really starts

The great thing about sculpy is that it isn't permanent until you bake it, so you can work it and rework it. then it doesn't change when you bake it (unless of course you over back it a bit, or toss it in a turkey fryer or something )

 

[toto1013]

I agree with CES Lori. With your dedication and perseverance you could do it.
