<p>For the past few months I&#8217;ve been really focused on making and selling my pendants.  In fact I&#8217;ve even launched a new line of pendants, <a href="http://yumyumpendants.com/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/yumyumpendants.com');">YumYumPendants!</a> Definitely make sure to swing by the site and check everything out.  There are tons of cute designs and I plan on continuing to expand and add more.</p>

So I  made a few BIG pendants last week.  These ones are all one of a kind because you&#8217;ll actually be wearing the original watercolor illustration around yer neck.  I&#8217;m having fun doing the little teensy paintings.  I haven&#8217;t worked this small probably since I stopped doing ACEOs a couple of years ago.

<p>On my end everything is also much more streamlined and easy to manage, and that makes me a happy pigeon!  I&#8217;ve gotten rid of a bunch of old art that isn&#8217;t really relevant anymore.  It&#8217;s still out there on the interwebs somewhere if you&#8217;re really curious though.</p>
<p>So if you get a chance, let me know what you think of the new digs!</p>
